Just another day in paradise.

ETA: oil is dropping like a brick. i hope to see some relief at the pump this summer, this $4/gallon shit is making range trips expensive.

More "unexpected" bad news for 0bama and his water carriers in the press to assimilate and deflect.

Bush's fault!!

Obama has done everything in his power to fix what Bush has done.

In order to really accomplish anything he will need at least 4 more years.

Bush dug a really deep hole. Obama needs more time.

They will find some good news tomorrow to bring the Dow back above 12k.

Relax gentlemen, the recovery is well underway.... Just listen to the media last month.

How can this be? Wasn't last summer supposed to be the "Summer of Recovery"? That would mean we've already recovered by now and we are steaming along. These numbers must be wrong.

We've already had QEI and QEII. We are doing great folks. We just need a little more stimulus and the sky's the limit. Right?

The recession is at the ledge above the precipice.

Obama's policies have caused businesses to pay down debt, streamline and try to improve employee productivity. They are not investing in growth due to the uncertainties and vagueness of Obamacare , the energy policies, tax and spending attitudes, etc. of the Obama administration. Jobs will not return until businesses have incentive to invest - and that will not come until they see a more promising return on that investment.

ETA: Now the idiot-in-chief has decided to release 30 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. His policies hamper drilling; his very temporary solution is releasing oil from the reserve. WHAT a FUCKING IDIOT!

Lies are being exposed.

Blank stares represent Political ineptness.

Their 'Stimulus' has equated to the Theft of Wealth.

....and the Globe is paralyzed with Economic Fear Armageddon...

...but hey, 'I just bought a flat-screen for $500'

RESET coming....Our 'Oligarchy' has failed US

ETA..

Look at Oil.....they announced a release of 30 million barrels and the price drops; Imagine what would happen if they announced new drilling

Why aren't they doing it?? Gotta love their 'good-intentions'

Yeah, but the report is that he won't have everyone out of AFG until 2014 (two years after his current term expires).

I can hear it now in 2012: "That campaign promise I made about bringing our troops home in 2008? I need another term to get it done."

Sadly, many will fall for it.

It's all the fault of the GOP. They're the single reason why the recovery is so slow. They've done nothing but block programs intended to bring back jobs and improve the economy.

The best way out of this is more stimulus money.

All those in favor raise your right hand.

Apparently, they've been hiring weather forecasters to also predict employment.

I gotta admit, All the bailouts under the 0 administration were nothing but a giant heist of wealth. The middle class is damn near gone.

That alone and in itself should have caused a revolution in this country.

I'm not a doomer, I am a pessimist.

I used to be an optimist, but it was too disappointing.

I tried to be a realist, but everyone lied about the truth.

So here I am hauling water for the fall of the powers that be....

I'm a pessimist, and I'm exhausted watching my expectations being met.

The fundamental problem is the market has not yet evolved to the point where it can comprehend Obama's superior intellect.

I love how prior numbers were 'Revised' to reflect the TRUE numbers... Because the initial numbers were deliberately portrayed in the media (at the time of their initial release) solely for the propaganda machine to make things look better.

We're living in a world of National Lies, and for some reason there are countless idiots - even here on arfcom that PREFER to be kept in the dark.
