How many cities are either on the verge of, or actually filed for bankruptcy during Obama's tenure? Bush's? Clinton? Reagan? etc

It's pretty clear why you want to avoid the question on rates of unemployment and foreclosure under the present Democratic gvt... Put simply, it will deflate any and every argument that you can put forward.

and imagine how much better the economy would be if that jobs bill had been passed by the obstructionst Republicans in Congress

Out of curiosity, why didn't teh Dems do exactly that when they had control of both houses?

.. An interesting question isn't it - and likely one that you would prefer not to answer

Make Room for Islamistgate: The Obama Administration’s Newest, (Biggest?) Scandal


"Currently the Obama administration is facing three big scandals — the IRS targeting, the bugging of AP and Fox, and Benghazi. Now we have scandal Number Four, just as large in scope.

For the last four years, the Obama administration has conducted a major “outreach” program to Islamic groups in the United States and in the Middle East. In a comprehensive article, investigative journalist Patrick Poole now presents the full scoop and scope of what’s been going on. His article — “Blind to Terror: The U.S. Government’s Disastrous Muslim Outreach Efforts and the Impact on U.S. Policy” — appearing in the new Summer issue of the MERIA Journal is a game-changer.

You may think that you know about this subject, but the scandal extends far beyond what you have heard."

Hey Captain:








How would these numbers look if your Republicans heroes gave us that jobs bill?

Pretty funny gopher.... When you've hit rock bottom, there is only one way you can go.

So - how about that analysis of comparing foreclosure and unemployment rates coming along from 1900 to present?....... Still no answer, eh. I guess that the numbers would not look so pretty.

Too bad that the Dems didn't pass any employment related bills when they controlled both houses

We discussed that before Captain - as I already told you it was expected that the stimulus package would create those jobs. But your right wing corporate welfare recipients took the money and ran.

Dunno about how foreclosure rates compare today to the Republican created Great Depression but it's a good bet the unemployment rate is considerably lower today than then. Significantly, we hit rock bottom during the 1930s and early 2000s under Republican regimes. But I wouldn't consider that funny.

The Dems should have let all the banks fail then, I suppose that the foreclosure and unemployment rates would have been even more extreme.

Besides, not everyone suffered. The good folks at Solyndra did pretty well from what I recall

No, it isn't funny in the least... It's deadly serious.

With that in mind, spare the partisan rhetoric as there is plenty of blame to go around to everyone, but absolving your party of choice is pretty low down on the scale of what reality truly looks like

Obama Selects Woman Who Wanted US To Invade Israel Samantha Power, As New UN Ambassador



To Replace Susan Rice as Ambassador to the United Nations, President Obama chose Samatha Power, a woman who once said that the US should send in its military to Israel to enforce a Mid East peace.

How long do you think it will be before Power uses that board as tool to de-legitimize Israel?

Power was a foreign policy adviser to the Obama campaign in 2008 when she blamed the Jews for the criticism of then Candidate Obama's foreign policy platform.


"There will be situations where the priority is self-defence," she says, indicating that a preference for multilateralism only goes so far. "President Obama, like every other leader on earth, is still going to be looking out for national and economic interests. States don't cease to be states overnight just because they get a great visionary as their new president." But it is politically impossible for Obama to talk to Hamas, even if he wants to. She can't say that, though, especially when vicious internet smears are making lurid allegations about his "Muslim past"...."So much of it is about: 'Is he going to be good for the Jews?'"

Your sources are lying.


I note the article does not say when the transplant priority policy was established. Might be kinda interesting to know.

Sibelius did the right thing for once. You don't want the guvmint to start deciding who lives and who dies. (IPAB is coming soon enough)

Unless I am missing something... the judge made the call.

I thought Obamacare was going to fix all this.

Hope and Change.
