Hey Whirlway the Nation's DP nearly doubled the last quarter

[wellendowed1911]

Whirlway since you like to report on every bad item and point them to Obama well the GDP nearly doubled from 1.3% to 2.5% this last quarter- of course you paid no attention since it was somewhat good news- yet had it declined you would have been the first to post a thread. So Whirlway take this : http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/27/news...bin&hpt=hp_bn5 and put it in your pipe and smoke it.

[CuteOldGuy]

You realize that 2.5% is still pathetic.

[trynagetlaid]

Face it. Obama can 1) Find a cure for the common cold, and 2) Find $15 trillion buried behind the White House and pay off the national debt. There will still be lots of CuteOldGuys (and Gals) who want him out of office.

[Whirlaway]

2.5% is paltry. Canada had 3.5% (that's a 40% increase over the US GDP). Do your homework and find out why Canada is out performing the US economy. Hint: it has to do with reigned in government spending, less regulations out of Ottawa and lower tax rates.

We need at least 200,000 new jobs every month for the next 4 years to get back to pre-recession levels; Obama doesn't know what he is doing. Obama's policies are killing any robust recovery that economies usually get when emerging out of a deep recession.

And that 2.5% GDP is being eroded quickly by the uptick in oil; we are now back up at $94 a barrel oil price, so any gains in economic growth is for naught..expect gasoline pump prices to rise accordingly.

Applying the Joe Biden economic modeling theory; I wonder how many murders and rapes have occured because Obama was elected President and our economic recovery (and tax revenues) hasn't been robust...enquiring minds want to know.

[CuteOldGuy]

Tryin, if he pays off the debt and cures the common cold, I may reconsider. So far he is spending more and more, and it is making me sick.

[anaximander]

So what stated unemployment is still over 9%.
Real unemployment is closer to 19% if they
calculated UE numbers like they did in the 70's.
Over 400,000 still filed for UE last month.
A number unchanged now for over a year.

GDP rose because the few still working
are working harder so we don't join
the 19% crowd.

Just Pitiful




You cannot get the water to clear up
until you get the pigs out of the creek.”

*SOME OF YOU MAY APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT.*


*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt,
which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year,
would you have approved?*

*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again
within 10 years,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law
that he admitted he never even read,
would you think that he is just an
ignorant hot head? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico
and sued a state in the United States to force that state
to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism
and wonder who's side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps
like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work
by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry
because one foreign company had an accident,
would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document
as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference,
would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept
he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men
behind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings
of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke
at the expense of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive
and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him
a thoughtful and historically significant gift,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England
an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it
a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference
to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off
as a minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states
in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts
about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him
walking out his front door in his home town,
would you not have thought he was a self-important,
conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate
as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it
when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded
he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed
Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened
on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid
to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed
or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made
into a major ongoing political issue with claims of
racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars
who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate
on much of what is happening in America ,
would you have ever approved. *

*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO
of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority
to do so, would you have approved? *

*So, tell me again,
what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can't think of anything?
Don't worry.
He's done all this in 24 months –
so you have that much time to come up with an answer.*

*Every statement and action in this email is factual
and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable. *
AND NOW--
HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM.
WAKE UP AMERICA 2012 IS UPON US.

This is a monumental switch! Normally the Right-Wing Loon Machine speaks against Canada's economy at every opportunity. Why, because Canada has a national health-care plan firmly in place. Yikes! Now the Loon's are using our neighbor to the north as a shining economic example. Who would have ever thunk it?

How can Canada have both sound fiscal policy and national health-care at the same time? What 'chu talkin' 'bout Willis? You guys have been trying to make the case that NHC wrecks every economy where it exists and now we find out "Canada has reigned in government spending," despite having a national health-care system firmly in place.

Somebody's got some serious splainin' to do!

You forgot a thing about Canada: HEALTHCARE FOR ALL

You are wasting your breath there BT!

These right wing loons think that having healthcare cost 16/17% of our GDP every year (and rising) is just a great way to run a country.

You do not see them tout Canada's military expansion, you know why? Because Canada does not blow money that way. They piggyback off our ass, just like Japan, Germany and the rest of the free world.

The ignorance of people in this country is the problem, not the politicians, they just exploit it.

They deserve Hermain Cain as our next President!

[JD Barleycorn]

Before you tout the numbers wait until the correction next week. They will go down just like they have the last six months.

[WTF]

Your links did not work...

But I'm glad to see Canada is ready to invade Jamaica.

The following is a table of the top 15 countries with the highest military expenditure for 2009 published in the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) Yearbook 2010 using current market exchange rates in current (2009) US dollars.[5]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_expenditures

Canada spends 1.5% of their GDP on military.

Compare that to our spending.

Like I said Canada piggybacks off us, as does the rest of the world

Thanks for taking the bait Whirlway- just as Tyrnagetlaid pointed out- whatever good things happen under Obama you shun it to the side- I promise you had the news been the GDP decreased by 2.5% you would have been the first to make a thread of how bad things are- how in the hell cn anyone say that "growth" is not good- albeit the growth was small nevertheless any type of growth is good news and WTF does Canada have to do with it??? You mentioning Canada who has a far smaller economy than the U.S is no different if I were to say :" The U.S economy is not bad- it's much better than Haiti's economy- comparing Canada's economy to the U.S economy is apples and oranges.
