Hope and Change - How is it working out....
Report Card on Obama's First Two Years By K.E. Campbell Two years ago today, Barack Obama was inaugurated as president of the United States. Are you better off today than you were two years ago? Numbers don't lie, and here are the data on the impact he has had on the lives of Americans: http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/..._first_tw.html |

If you're twiddling your thumbs waiting for the next construction boom then you have nobody to blame but yourself. Hint: Pretty much most of the money that had been going into your wallet during the housing bubble was borrowed--and now it, ( along with the interest paymenst ) are slowly being re-paid to the banksters and other speculative "investors"....most whom are already extremely wealthy... And to make matters worse, much of the ( Bush ) Bailout money straight went into pockets ( at taxpayer expense ) of investment firm executives who had made poor choices for their clients...yes, the same rich assholes that alway come out as being against revoking any tax cuts that Bush had made for the rich. By the time Bush was done mucking things up we were losing jobs at the astounding rate of 700,000 per month http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_...omestic_policy " Under the Bush Administration, real GDP grew at an average annual rate of 2.5%,[96] considerably below the average for business cycles from 1949 to 2000.[97][98] Bush entered office with the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 10,587, and the average peaked in October 2007 at over 14,000. When Bush left office, the average was at 7,949, one of the lowest levels of his presidency.[99] Unemployment originally rose from 4.2% in January 2001 to 6.3% in June 2003, but subsequently dropped to 4.5% as of July 2007.[100] Adjusted for inflation, median household income dropped by $1,175 between 2000 and 2007,[101] while Professor Ken Homa of Georgetown University has noted that "after-tax median household income increased by 2%"[102] The poverty rate increased from 11.3% in 2000 to 12.3% in 2006 after peaking at 12.7% in 2004.[103] By October 2008, due to increases in domestic and foreign spending,[104] the national debt had risen to $11.3 trillion,[105][106] an increase of over 100% from the start of the year 2000 when the debt was $5.6 trillion.[107][108] Most debt was accumulated as a result of what became known as the "Bush tax cuts" and increased national security spending.[109] By the end of Bush's presidency, unemployment climbed to 7.2%.[110] The perception of Bush's effect on the economy is significantly affected by partisanship.[111] In December 2007, the United States entered the longest post-World War II recession,[15] which included a housing market correction, a subprime mortgage crisis, soaring oil prices, and a declining dollar value.[112] In February, 63,000 jobs were lost, a five-year record.[113][114] To aid with the situation, Bush signed a $170 billion economic stimulus package which was intended to improve the economic situation by sending tax rebate checks to many Americans and providing tax breaks for struggling businesses. The Bush administration pushed for significantly increased regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2003,[115] and after two years, the regulations passed the House but died in the Senate. Many Republican senators, as well as influential members of the Bush Administration, feared that the agency created by these regulations would merely be mimicking the private sector's risky practices.[116][117] In September 2008, the crisis became much more serious beginning with the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac followed by the collapse of Lehman Brothers[118] and a federal bailout of American International Group for $85 billion.[119] Many economists and world governments determined that the situation became the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.[120][121] Additional regulation over the housing market would have been beneficial, according to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.[122] Bush, meanwhile, proposed a financial rescue plan to buy back a large portion of the U.S. mortgage market.[123] Vince Reinhardt, a former Federal Reserve economist now at the American Enterprise Institute, said "it would have helped for the Bush administration to empower the folks at Treasury and the Federal Reserve and the comptroller of the currency and the FDIC to look at these issues more closely", and additionally, that it would have helped "for Congress to have held hearings".[117] In November 2008, over 500,000 jobs were lost, which marked the largest loss of jobs in the United States in 34 years.[124] The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in the last four months of 2008, 1.9 million jobs were lost.[125] By the end of 2008, the U.S. had lost a total of 2.6 million jobs.[126]" -- |

Good luck, but you're in one of the hardest hit fields and one that is going to be at the end of the line when it comes to turning around. Unfortunately, construction work and housing is probably the worst area of the economy. But when that does turn around things will really get moving. I hope you can keep your head above water until that happens. Hawke |

Nobody "forced" banks to make loans. Where did you get that cockeyed idea? The banks wanted to make those bad loans. They were immune from loss if they went bad because of how they set the system up. They made loans they knew were bad and then sold them to someone else. The lender made their money and it didn't matter to them if the borrower couldn't pay. So nobody from the government came around and made them do that. Greed did. And nobody from the government paying any attention to what they were doing. By the way, that was the Bush administration's fault. Hawke |

Only a democrat in denial could think that hundreds of thousands of homes in foreclosure, lowering the value of all properties, was a good thing and call it "cheaper housing". You ought to be ashamed for lying to yourself (and others) on that one, Ig. Actually, yes, lower housing prices is a good and not a bad thing, it means that houses are more affordable. As for those in foreclosure, it simply is a result of loans that were given unwisely, at the time when they were actually given. I'm sorry. I forgot that you were a True Believer of The Chosen One. You cannot blame Obama for a dumb loan made in 2007 to an irresponsible borrower. I sure as hell _can_! He helped creat, as well as tremendously expand, fully irresponsible LOANERS. He was one of the senators who pushed the hell out of the Powers That Be in D.C. (on the boards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in Congress, and in the media) to loan more money to people (primarily, blacks) who could not afford a home. that meant they were loaning to people of all color who couldn't afford homes. You can verify that via the Democratic Black Caucus. And he turned ACORN into what it was, a thuggish mob ready to show people how to cheat the gov't. (See ACORN scandal movies, etc.) I didn't catch the Obama interview on O'Reilly last Saturday, did you? -- Education should provide the tools for a widening and deepening of life, for increased appreciation of all one sees or experiences.

For them, they want to blame Obama for everything even if it's obvious he had nothing to do with it. It has to do with not facing the truth, which is that the people he voted into office, caused our problems. People like him won't admit the truth so they make it up any way they want it to be. So for guys like him every thing that goes wrong is Obama's fault and none of the blame goes to the republicans. After all, it makes him look bad too. He and others like him voted Bush and Company in office. That means he is largely responsible for the damage they did when in office. So rather than admit the truth they look to lay blame on someone else. For him it's always a Democrat. It has nothing to do with reality it's all about creating the fantasy he wants to believe. It's that and simple denial. You'd be surprised what they can do with those two things. Hawke |

In fact, if people knew that they can have affordable medical coverage, more of them would become entrepreneurs instead of being stuck in jobs just because of medical coverage. i I think, perhaps, but not necessarily, also that they would start savings accounts, not buy that 196" PlasmaTron HiDef TV WITH surround sound, not buy a new car every 18 months, eat out less, not have to wear those $60 jeans and $300 cowboy boots, not pay $12 for a tube of lipstick, not pay $150 to take the family out to dinner, and find other ways to set aside money for the important things in life. Some people lose it all through no fault of their own, and went down with an admirable fight. Others live from paycheck to credit card, and wail when the bill comes in the mail. We do need some reforms in the insurance situation. Those reforms do not include providing better health care for criminals than our own citizens, and then putting the burden of payment on the backs of people who do actually work. Your son and granddaughter are fighting a valiant fight. Too bad they're not Mexican citizens who have been in the us for nine years but can't speak English yet. Their hospital care would be a walk-through. Steve |

I also see the country in a lot better shape than it was two years ago two. Our standing in the world is much better. We're at least moving in the right direction now and are not still digging ourselves into a hole. Are things great? Nope. We still have a ton of problems that we have to solve. But at least they are being worked on instead of being ignored as we wait for the markets to improve everyone's life. When you consider where we were when Obama walked in the door and where we are now, and where we're headed in the next two years, things are looking way up from where they were two years ago. So I give Obama high marks for his job so far. Not like Bush, who I fail. Hawke |
