We are in the worst economic crisis since the great depression and this motherfucker decides to take a fucking vacation. Its August and he has already passed the amount of vacation time Bush took in one year. Guys a fucking joke, as well as his mindless hypocritical peons.

1. The DOW and TSX where worst in 2009. The markets were volatile for months on end. This volatility lasted a week. Markets ARE NOT an economic index. GDP is, stocks show you the confidence in the market.
2. The first Bank Bailout was proposed by the Bush admin. This was voted against because of lack of rules. The second passed because banks were all going bankrupt.  The second bailout was a fail because the CEOs took off with the money. The third bailout passed under Obama because of the inefficient  plans the banks and companies came up with.
3. The US could not pull out in 2010 because no plan of engagement has been successful and the UN could not let Iraq without occupancy.
4. He accepted the attack on Bin Laden's residency...something Bush never did after 8 years of searching. So Obama did do something.

Obama is not the cause of the political and economic instability. That was cause by the american elite, backed by US citizens. Obama inherited the problems, and he cant solve everything in 4 years...8 either so live with your fellow citizen decisions. Dont ask what your country do for you, but what you can do for your country!

Now stop the cheap hate

this, shut the fuck up laxbro. You're not smart, you don't know what you're talking about. What fox news tells you isn't always true.

1. Im not getting into that because to be honest I dont have a vast amount of financial backround.

2. Proposed by Bush, who was then criticized for it and it was shot down. The second, passed by Obama should have never happend. Its called social darwinism or laissez faire economics, let failing companies fail. The CEOs can't take off with money, its illegal, it was written somewhere in the language of the bill. No matter what you try and argue, Obama signed the bill and bailed out failing banks.

3. Your right, we couldn't pull out, but Obama ran his campaign on pulling out of both wars, something he has not even come close to doing.

4.Obama had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with finding/planning/killing Osama. All he did was OK it. DO NOT give that man any credit for that. That was done through interrogations that came from waterboarding people at GITMO, something Obama wanted to close as well.


There is no cheap hate, I just see the man for what he really is, and that is a mediocre president at best.

The attitude of lax bro and friends is why there is a hatred for the United States in the outside world. Grow the fuck up.

And yes the economy is a secondary, imaginary fixation of a culture addicted to greed and the destruction of the natural world. Argue all you want, but this is fact.

Your unbelievably stupid. An economy is not something that is created, it simply exists. But your right, the rest of the world, and some of the most intelligent people in the world are all full of shit because some nut job kiwi thinks its made up.

You're fucking high. You're from NZ, you have no education in the united states economy. Funny story, every country has an economy, not just the united states. You are either 15 years old or fucking retarded. The economy has nothing to do with greed and destruction, thats what corporate business does. Economics is based on trade within markets and how they operate, including with other countries. It involves physical money and physical business and before the internet, everything was done face to face. The fact you think that "the economy" (curious what the fuck thats suppose to mean) is a secondary imaginary fixation (nice big words) is absolutely ludicrous.

I think this is one of the more serious posts you made in this thread and yet it is still one of the most misinformed jokes of a post.

I wish I could sit down with you and physically go through this thread to point out every element of hypocrisy in the shit you say. I really, really hope you just do it to get whatever attention you didn't get as a kid because it sure is working. The attention may suffice for now and if you ever get educated you will look back on what a complete moron you were. I still have faith in you Lax Bro, maybe one day you can think about things from a logical standpoint instead of the inane, emotional, and downright moronic posting you do.

its pretty obvious that you dont have a vast financial background if you honestly think it would have been a good idea to just let some of the largest banks in america fail. the economic repercussions would have been devastating.

Of course I didn't just mean the United States, I meant the whole of the western world. This culture. This culture that has its foundations intriniscally, directly rooted in the exploitation of the natural world. Sure other culture's have rudimentary economies based on a simpler use of available resources. We should take stock of these, these are economies that make sense. Worldwide trade, industrial pollution, industrial sized resource extraction simply doesn't make sense. No population that directly supports (or imposes) the destruction of its own landbase is to be considered sane in my books, let alone succesful. Our modern day "economy" is so out of quilter with what is the only primary in this world, nature. They are inherently linked, but only if this culture continues to exist, which I hope it does not. And it will not. There is nothing remotely sustainable about it, hence its inevitable fall. But in the mean time, I think we should have much less focus on made up things like money (yes money is made up), stock markets, international markets in general and have more of a focus on reducing the catastrophic effects the crash will have on worldwide populations and nature.

And I'm not 15, I'm 26. I have studied these subjects, economics included, for over 10 years. From everything I've thought about, nature needs to come first, it's logical, common, sane sense.

2. proves once and for all that you're woefully uninformed. Let failing companies fail? We're not talking about a mom and pop grocery store here......you do understand that the reason the bailout was pushed through was that banks had essentially stopped giving loans...to anyone. The entire fabric of our economy was disintegrating, in the wake of the appalling practices of doling out variable rate home loans to people in no position to afford them....the bailout wasn't about bailing out banks, it was about looking out for everyday, average people. Our economy was taken hostage because of the very thing you're hoping for: deregulation. Hmm....what's going to happen when you have no oversight over people playing with absurd amounts of money?

 The CEO's can't take off with the money?.....umm....they did, though. AIG? The private jet fiasco when the CEO'S came to Washington to meet? The party immediately following the bailout passing? And on, and on. We also bailed out the auto industry....why? I dunno...maybe because thousands stood to lose their jobs?

Face it....there's no such thing as a truly free-market economy—certainly not in the US, anyway. Laissez faire is a concept and a theory, one which doesn't really exist anywhere in the real world. Our economy/government has been intertwined and "socialist" since at least FDR pushed the New Deal. Social security, medicare/caid, etc. are all forms of "socialism" and government intervention. Farm subsidies is another example...bottom line being that this whole fake outrage at government intervention in our economy is a fucking joke.

Don't give Obama credit for Bin Laden? Why not? He took a HUGE risk in approving that mission, a bigger risk in doing it unilaterally without Pakistan being privy to it. That could've had a very different outcome, and it was a decision that could've had some serious consequences. You show your blatant bias and partisanship in refusing to even acknowledge what he HAS done, even if he hasn't delivered on everything he's set out to do.

At the end of the day, it's your blind rejection of Obama based on borderline propaganda masquerading as news that is the truly terrifying part of all of this. Anyone has the right to take issue with Obama and his policy, but it's clear that in your case you're not even aware or informed enough to have a valid opinion, rather, you react negatively in a knee jerk fashion to gotcha journalism and bullshit.

Hes the president, A) He doesn't get paid minimum wage, Im sure he can afford it, B) he doesnt use tax payers money for it, so technically hes putting his own wealth back into the economy..

I don't normally agree with you on a lot of things, but this is so spot on. It sounds like you have spent time in Ecological Economics which is the direction I believe we need to head in as far as understanding and working with the Earth rather than against it.

And your clearly an obama dick rider if you want to credit him for that raid. All he had to do was say ok, its not a hard decision. my 10 year old sister could of done the same thing. he has done nothing. So instead of just arguing why im such a stupid asshole, prove me wrong. What has he done that has had a positive impact on my life. Im worse off now than i was 3 years ago.

i learned about checks and balances, also learned that in recent years the executive has gained more power then ever before. the theory (of checks and balances) is great but doesn't work near as well in modern america.
