    23 million unemployed or under employed is nothing to be proud of

    Dictator?
    Oh that's rich!
    A sound-bite that nobody in their right mind will believe.

    You people just can't stand the idea that the things Obama and the Democrats have done are coming to fruition, can you?

    How very patriotic of you...

    Blah blah blah...

    With or without you...its working.
    We all told you it would...and it is.
    I know that bothers you...nobody like to be proven wrong.
    But its a fact...Obama's policies and actions are working.
    You see the proof every month.

    Now comon...isn't there even a little part of you that's happy things are getting better?

    of course, the negative effects of RW policy are always actually the effects of something else.

    cutting taxes creates jobs as long as nothing else ever happens or happened before lol

    What does it mean when the President won't follow the rules of the constitution and just do things as he sees fit? Is that democracy, republic, or dictatorship? He has done it several times and expressed several times that he doesn't care if congress doesn't approve of what he wants, he will just go around them. Again, what does that sound like to you?

    Why Republicans are upset:

    http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daniel-gross/december-jobs-report-good-economic-news-better-political-144203887.html

    I wonder how much longer Republicans think they can dupe Americans into believing the economy hasn't improved substantially since it was on the brink of a depression in early 2009.

    What's your beef? It took Bush only 3 months to unemploy those people. And your ilk cheered at the time at all those lazy, shiftless, people drawing unemployment checks.

    I agree with the first part. The second part is false though. The first part is more than accurate and that is why hoping that Tax breaks stir the economy is the wrong way to go about cutting our deficit. Take 2001. A tax cut happened then too, but 9/11 happened a stalled any chance of that working. 2003-2007, the world was pretty much steady, so there for the tax breaks worked.

    Taxes are only a symptom of the bloated government spending. Those that focus on the symptoms never take care of the underlying cause.

    Funny thing is, God must really hate Obama, cause nothing of the past 3 years has worked for him and Obama blames all the natural disasters as the cause. Although our economy didn't shrivel up after Katrina.

    It sounds like a man who has finally had it with T-Baggers and their constant irrationality and opposition to anything and everything.

    ITS ABOUT TIME he notified T-Baggers how really insignificant they are!

    What's been done is working...jobs are being created...

    WITH OR WITHOUT YOU!

    So, you agree with having a dictatorship over a constitutional republic. So when is your flight to the Congo?

    What is working? Sears is closing stores. Kodak whose CEO is no Obama's jobs committee is filing bankruptcy.

    What has Obama done to create this? Was it giving bad loans to Solyndra. Was it Obamacare? Was it all the EPA regulations?

    I showed you that Tax cuts CAN help...if applied at the right time. Do I say they will always work? NO. Did I not explain what dropped our economy in the first place? And did I not show you how people don't take that extra money they recieve from tax cuts and save, they just spend more. This what the government hopes for so that more revenue is generated through more demand. This all feeds into really the government justifying ever growing size and expenses. Get rid of the expenses, get rid of the NEED for such outrageous taxes.

    What I AGREE with, is the marginalization of idiots.
    Learning to IGNORE the noise-machine.
    Doing whats RIGHT IN SPITE of those who would see the nation fail, just to remove a president from office.
    He should have stood up to T-Baggers long ago.
    The USA should have universal healthcare like the rest of the western world.

    Your claims that Obama is a dictator only exhibits how very shallow and desperate you are to see the USA fail.

    no, you showed me the "right time" works....just like it did in the 90s when clinton RAISED taxes.

    if the sun and moon have to line up perfectly for tax cuts to work, maybe its the sun and the moon and not the tax cuts.

    Good thing Ron doesn't believe that, nor did he write that.

    Obama just thinks they are lazy.
