I can honestly say that it wasn't mine. Had it been, they would have first laid down some cover fire, and then tackled you !

I think Obama has done a mediocre to poor job, but I hope he is reelected in a land slide. That should force the GOP to abandon their current far right posture and move back to the middle. In the late 90's the GOP and Clinton compromised and brought us 4-5 years of growth, increased revenue, and brought us to a deficit neutral budget with projections of being able to actually pay down the dept. The Bush tax cuts were supposed to be deficit neutral, but instead have added greatly to the deficit and didn't product the growth that they claimed they would. Tax cuts for the uberwealthy just don't create growth or jobs, it's demand that creates jobs. Until the middle class can hold their heads above water, jobs aren't going to increase a the same rate as we've seen after other recessions, but rather similar to the depression where you saw the same kinds of income disparity. 1% of the population can't create enough demand for goods and services, it has to be the middle class driving demand.

Clinton was a likeable guy and had a good cabinet with some smarts. Thus he could get things done between the two party's...give a little, take a little with some check and balances. Obama is a far left Marxists and I don't like him at all and his cabinet is riddled with incompetency. And last of all, Clinton came in on after 8 years of Reagan economics, so he was setting in a good position to move the country a little more forward.

And Obama came in after 8 years of arguably the worst president of all time who left the country broke, busted and in financial failure. Even after that Mr. Obama has pulled us out of unnecessary wars, the economy is at it's best in 10 years, improved school lunches for kids, saved the banking industry from collapse and kept the auto industry from tanking. Not bad for 3 years in office. And, his numbers are up not down.

While I'm not a total supporter for President Obama, you have to give credit where credit is due. Also apply blame where it belongs - we have the most incapable and inept Congress in a century. That's where legislation gets passed (or not). The President leads and signs passed legislation - he can't drag a dead mule (Congress) to the water and make it drink.

Eliminate all lobbying - especially that by pharmaceutical, insurance and financial companies and let Congress do the work they were sent to Washington to do. Oh, and charge everyone (especially the richest) an equal tax burden so that you and I (likely middle-class) don't pay more than our share of the burden.

Denver,

I would like to know...

Which exact "wars" are you referring to?
The economy is at it's best in 10 years? Which country are you referring to? Surely not the USA.

milliemax 01-01-2012 02:44 PM

I am a small business owner who started my business without asking anyone for anything. I took a risk because I have guts!!! This administration "Obama" has put my customers in a "Coma", they ALL tell me they will hold on to their CASH until he is GONE. So.... my business suffers .....daily until ? I could go on welfare,food stamps, un-employment but I just can not........YET.

I don't know business you are in, but the President's office has nothing to do with your business. The banks who control credit and lending and individual's personal finances do. It also depends on your industry, your market and your market share in that industry. If you are in a business driven by discretionary or disposable income versus required consumable goods your experience will be different. This year we picked up numerous municipalities and agencies while doubling our walk-in customer base. We just finished our annual inventory and ran our final financials yesterday. Our business is up 31% this year. That is consistent with the last 3 years. We've been open now 9 years. It takes a few years for the 20-25% of new businesses to start to thrive. If they ever do. Nothing to do with anything above a local level. The only place we've ever struggled is on line. That's gravy anyway.

More false statements - do you really believe this? What anti-business laws? There's no business in my area that's not thriving. Don't drink the kool-aid. Be specific about your comments. Again, LAWS aren't passed by the President. They come exclusively from the Congress. So NO business law, even the ones you haven't specified, comes from the President.

Good thing no one takes this too seriously. ;)

Wow, Ok here we go............

Fact, Obama health care bill,this was Obama's baby. He said if it past that all Americans Health care would go down, and everyone would have health care coverage.....Wrong! Fact everyones heath care cost has gone up it will still go higher.Fact their is more people without health care coverage now then before Obama's health care bill was past.

Obama's health care bill forces all Business to proved health care for their employees and if you are an employee with really a really good health care plain you get to pay taxes on it.

You are entitled to you opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts.

You are entitled to you opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts.

Likewise. Health care goes up every year. I get one or two years then have to change plans because of no regulation. This year, under the new health care laws, my wife's "pre-existing" condition is covered where it wasn't before. Win.

I own several businesses, there is NO requirement to provide health care for employees.

As long as you post any minimally or patently untrue (even if misunderstood) "facts" I will yank your chain. Always.

That said there is only one fact that anyone on this forum has to agree with and that's our enjoyment of Porsche automobiles. So while I may rub, rile, annoy, antagonize, irritate, or infuriate you over these political posts - I will be doing it, from my end, with a smile on my face. There is nothing you or I can say or do that would, in any way, on this planet or another change what will be in the political future landscape. Nor will anything that will be, be altered or changed by anyone in our pay grade.

If you let me get to you, I will, and I won't lose sleep over it. I come from a background that includes not only being raised in a highly political and influential family, and that has afforded me the ability, and situations, to vociferously debate face-to-face Patrick Buchanan and the likes (opposite political views) and also do so without getting annoyed with you or any other forum expert on any topic. So enjoy the joust and drive safely. ;)

This section of the forum, for me, is like Las Vegas - nothing said here leaves here.

jbs986 01-07-2012 07:07 PM

By no means are you upsetting me or annoying me my friend,I am sorry to hear about your wifes pre-existing condition yes you win but bear in-mind that we are all paying for it, in higher premiums.

Your Business my not have to pay employee health care but most are, that is why there have been hundreds of wavers for some business not to have to pay, Mc Donald being one of them, but please don't take my word for it,just google it, it's all there.

By saying you come from a highly political and influential family, I take it that you must be a Democrat.:)

If so, anything said here or anywhere, is not going to change your mind.

FIRST LADY OF LUXURY TRAVEL: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OBAMAS' LAVISH GETAWAYS OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1326067186.jpg


GIRLS' TRIP TO SPAIN: AUGUST 2010

The exact cost is unclear as Mrs Obama and her 40 friends footed many personal expenses, such as hotels and meals themselves.

But the U.S. taxpayer would have paid for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, personal staff, and use of presidential jet Air Force Two.

Per diems for the secret service team runs at around $281 each - nearly $98,000 for the length of the summer break.

Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at $149,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground.

Mrs Obama's personal staff, of which there are an unknown amount and might cost considerably more per day, should also be taken into account.

CHRISTMAS BREAK IN HAWAII: DECEMBER 2010

According to the Hawaii Reporter, the bill for the $1.5m trip included:

$63,000 on an early flight bringing Mrs Obama and the children to Hawaii ahead of the President.
$1,000,000 on Mr Obama’s return trip from Washington on Air Force One.
$38,000 for the ‘Winter White House’ beach property rental.
$16,000 to rent nearby homes for Secret Service and Navy Seals.
$134,000 for 24 White House staff to stay at the Moana Hotel.
$251,000 in police overtime.
$10,000 for an ambulance to be on hand at all times

SKI TRIP TO VAIL: FEBRUARY 2011

Mrs Obama and her daughters stayed at the Sebastian hotel on Vail Mountain, where rooms cost more than $2,400 for multi-bedroom suites.

The family appear to have flown there on Air Force Two.

They were escorted to the resort by a motorcade of about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers

SUMMER HOLIDAY ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD: AUGUST 2011

The Blue Heron Farm estate, where the Obama family are currently staying, rents for about $50,000 a week.

According to U.S. News and World Report, the Coast Guard is required to keep ships floating near the property, the presidential helicopter and jet remain at the ready and security agents will be on 24-hour duty.

Johnny Danger 01-08-2012 03:16 PM

And she didn't surrender her license to practise law facing dis-barrment, right ! :cool:

milliemax 01-08-2012 04:14 PM

WOW ! I have been gone for a while and want to thank John99 and MR DANGER for saying exactly what I wanted to say. This "Fake " of a President is an insult to this Great Country which my family helped to build. I have their whole history. So ....Do not preach to me. I have built 3 business's from the ground up .....with no help and no money. JUST GUTS AND HARD WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK !!! So you can see where I have no respect. Please forgive me as I am a real nice guy ...until I hear the word...Obama . Sick . I am again.

MileHighBoxster 01-08-2012 04:30 PM

[QUOTE=John99Boxster;273100] We invaded Iraq. And you obviously have never been involved in any conflict more severe than whether or not to have fries with your burger. As one who spent more than 20 years actually wearing a uniform, war is never good for anyone. Since you are completely ignorant on the effects of war, I won't discuss this anymore on this forum. No one who has actually seen war (I don't mean Band Of Brothers) speaks of it as cavalier as you.

John/Millie - if you actually read things you'ld know I was in the military. And my bio would read born in Denver, and while Steve may be too decent to say it, NO one at Langley says they worked at Langley, it's the first rule of Langley. You're a broken poser. If you want people to respond to your $h!t for mouth, keep your posts on one thread. What was your MOS? As I stated before, I doubt you saw any combat, even if you were stationed somewhere other's did. Did your DD-214 read "cowardly discharge"? For someone who says they did something, me thinks you protest too much. As I stated before, no one who speaks of war as cavalierly as you, ever heard bullets whizzing past their head. Poser.

milliemax 01-08-2012 04:38 PM
