Unemployment UP and sales DOWN - what a shocker. Eventually the sheep will understand that Bama-Nomics is destroying America. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bama and Bama alone forced the bankruptcies of GM and Chrysler and the loss of thousands of U.S. businesses and millions of U.S. jobs. Bama signed a $787 Stick-It-Up-Your-*** package that increased the national debt and unemployment. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fools in DENIAL can't blame Bush for that. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see local businesses closing everyday due to Bama-Nomics and it's gonna get a lot worse so I doubt the working class is going to have fair paying employment any time soon. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bama-Nomics is the loss of 600,000 U.S. jobs month after month after month. It's a 50% increase in the national debt in just a few months time. It's the spending of more money in one week than Bush spent in 8 years and two wars. It's the failure to comprehend the economic and human devastation Bama is inflicting on America. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Bama-Nomics we have the highest Unemploment in 26 years and it's still climbing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Record Unemployment under Bama, record spending under Bama, massacre of the entire U.S. auto industry and Millions of U.S. jobs under Bama along with lots of tax payer paid photo ops and family vacations - THAT is what Bama, the LIAR in Chief is all about. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have no job, no home, no retirement and you're hungry - THEN maybe you'll understand that Bama-Nomics is destroying America. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DENIAL doesn't eliminate the pain and suffering and the FACTS DON'T LIE! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;what does any of your rant actually have to do as a 'comment' on the article?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as a lifelong repub, i am no obama fan for sure, but at least try to be relevant to the topic in a small way. you are just making a fool of yourself and your party. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why do you feel the need to blame everything wrong with the economy on Obama? &amp;nbsp;You sound more like a racist than anything else. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The facts are very clear, Obama has been cleaning up the mess the Repulican Party has left behind after 8 years in office. &amp;nbsp;Do you think the economy tanked when Obama got in office? &amp;nbsp;It actually started way before that and like almost all Republicans you believe that your presumed wealth in real estate and in the stock market was the doing of Republicans. &amp;nbsp;Well, the reality of things is that it was a presumed wealth feed by corporate greed which is the reality of things. &amp;nbsp;What did you think would happen when banks, realtors and the stock market is pushing record profits and values on things? &amp;nbsp;It was bound to crash and burn and we have Bush to thank for that one. &amp;nbsp;We also have to thank the Republicans for starting two wars at the same time - which has caused countless lives and sent this country into a deep deficit. &amp;nbsp;It wasn't Obama, it was Bush. &amp;nbsp;I think that the lives lost have been the biggest toll that people like you forget when you rant and rave about Obama. &amp;nbsp;Bush and Chenney are terrorists, cheaters, theives and murderers and if the world could today they would prosecute them like they did with the Nazi's. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and by the way, the two wars that Bush got us and the lives lost in those two wars have done nothing to keep the price of gas from hitting almost $5.00 across the nation last year - that's why GM had to file for bankruptcy. &amp;nbsp;Who could drive an SUV with those gas prices that thanks to Bush was suppose to be protecting us from? &amp;nbsp;Meanwhile back at the ranch - Chevron, Mobil and a few other gas companies are recording record profits under the Bush administration. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are no Messiah, just a person that has problems distinguishing fiction from non-fiction. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

This is actually something that Secodn Life is great for. And as far as this goes we developed a concept ad using this and beer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bottom line is that we need to face the music, accept that our party wasn't necessarily faultless in the current economic situation we all find ourselves in. &amp;nbsp;Once we accept fault, we can move forward and not allow the mistakes from past to be repeated. As a party we have to reinvent ourselves and ask ourselves &amp;quot;not what your country can do for you but rather what can you do for your country?&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;(I seemed to have heard that somehwere)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an American I believe that things will get better when we unite as a nation and do our part and stop the child like finger pointing, he said, she said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The economy is bad and in time it will be better again regardless who is in charge. &amp;nbsp; Meanwhile if we shop and spend (on a budget) and get a free beer out of it, the happier I am. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

I liked the word &amp;quot;crapulous&amp;quot;. The only thing about this is that woemen want to look good with their man at their side. Men have always &amp;quot;dressed&amp;quot; their woemen up, so now the shoe is on the other foot! Unfortunatley, it's a totally gay infringment on men being men. That seems to be the manipulation of fashion that in reality, men dont care for. That's &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; men, not foppish poseuers of &amp;quot;fashion&amp;quot;. Androgeny is not new, look at the kids today: all trying to look like girls! Bottoms up!&lt;/p&gt;
