Pig...hoski signed a contract a long time ago when he first began paying union dues....through thin, and thinner, he is a lifetime committed liberal.
Hoski has learned to shove facts out of the way like they weren't even there.

The unemployment rate in the United States fell to 8.5 percent in December of 2011, the lowest since February 2009. That was after a seasonally adjusted high of 10% in October of 2009. The rate was 7.8% when Pres. Obama was inaugurated, so between then and now the rate has changed 0.7 percentage points. Pres G W Bush was 1st inaugurated with an unemployment rate of 4.2% and left with the rate at 7.8% and the economy was spiralling out of control. Obama's 0.7 point change looks pretty good when compared to W's 3.6 percentage point change to the negative. Give Obama credit for turning this thing around.

"...we are back where we were before." Moishe says, gleefully hoping unempl. negative numbers will continue for another 10 months or longer. "Who cares" he said "As long as I can keep buying gold."

PigHunter,
I am constantly amazed by your label as the worst President ever and then trotting out some statistic as proof.
You have yet to dispute the fact that this nation's economy was on the lip of the crapper when Obama was handed the keys.
You clearly acknowledge a highly dysfunctional Congress and yet it magically morphs into Obama's fault.
You and I are well aware that Presidents don't/can't "order" things better. We are both likewise aware of the Senate minority leader's oft repeated mantra concerning his priorities, and our current Squeaker of the House's declaration on national television that compromise isn't a part of his character.
Now if you'd care to discuss the housing issue I'd be glad to oblige. Does it interest you to know that all 50 State Attorneys General have put aside their political affiliation to band together to investigate and prosecute the parties involved with the housing debacle? Would it interest you to know that Bank of America (along with others) have recently offered to settle a minute portion of the ongoing investigation in return for immunity. Does it interest you that also recently officials have rejected BoA's puny offer? I'd say stay tuned...we may yet see some perp walks.
Now, concerning housing sales, does it surprize you that with nearly 1 in 4 mortgages under water that they may be a little difficult to move?

Looks like I touched a nerve with someone (I suspect Moishie) but whoever it was couldn't dispute it. lol

Another one of Obama's energy cabinet loans to a green company goes belly up. The electric battery company ENER1 announced it is going bankrupt. That is okay we have plenty of money to give away.

And, you prove my point.

Not quite and I am not selling so it's tax neutral, my son is drooling over his expectation of getting some of it , but he won't get much I have a plan to leave most of it to someone else.

Jere, you impress as being pretty much on the ball most of the time, I suspect you've looked into estate planning...as in avoiding probate?

"A good economy is a result of good leadership" That helps to direct congress in the right direction, but it is all about policy. Good policy that allows the market to compete, expand, create wealth in this country is they big key. Right now we are being crushed with socialist regulation, and taxation. You prevent the Keystone pipeline, and what that would create, but instead you create Solyndra that is tax payer funded rather than private funded, and now ENER 1 ? You force GM to create the Chevy Volt? You believe Obama when he makes the trite statement to cover up the wrong direction he, and the left have taken by saying, "all businesses don't succeed, some fail."

I don't know how to put this Pig Hunter but I'm just not 100% sure that the Republican Policy Committee is the most unbiased source. Without going to the specifics of the numbers I'd say there are more believable places to look. I mean they did spend a trillion on a fake war right? Remember tax breaks would make jobs and balance the books?

I'm reluctant to say this but the Republicans just don't have the best track record with thing economic (and don't trot out Sayfu's 101 please) Two great depressions, do we really have to wait for strike #3?

Don't know why someone would ding ol' Moishe for his views on where to leave his shiny stuff upon his departure, (not too soon I hope) but I negated at least one of em.
I'm quite sure in this country one is permitted to bequeath to whomever one wishes.
