Storm clouds: The looming Obama recession

Storm clouds: The looming Obama recession. “…the deteriorating economic situation is the result of Obama’s policies… massive stimulus, auto bailouts, cash for clunkers, ObamaCare, Dodd Frank,.. If you were intentionally trying to trigger a recession, you’d be hard pressed to come up with more effective policies.” Yeah, but he’s so likeable, who cares if he’s driving us over a cliff?

  • T'was the night before elections,

    And all thru' the town,

    Tempers were flaring

    Emotions ran up and down.

    I, in my bathrobe

    With a cat in my lap,

    Had shut off the TV,

    tired of political crap.

    When all of a sudden,

    There arose such a noise,

    I peered out my window,

    Saw Obama and his boys

    They had come for my wallet,

    They wanted my pay

    To hand out to others

    Who had not worked a day!

    He snatched up my money,

    And quick as a wink,

    Jumped back on his bandwagon

    As I gagged from the stink.

    He then rallied his henchmen

    Who were pulling his cart.

    I could tell they were out

    To tear my country apart!

    'On Fannie, on Freddie,

    On Biden and Ayers!

    On Acorn, on Pelosi'

    He screamed at the pairs!

    They took off for his cause,

    And as they flew out of sight,

    I heard him laugh at a nation

    Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

    So I leave you to think on this one final note...

    IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!

  • It's not going to be a recession this time, it will be an all out depression, with hyper inflation and all the fixings. Maybe even a chance of "Dear Leader's" sought after civil unrest, so they can trample on what little is left of the constitution.

  • Another recession? We're still in a recession: 15% real unemployment, 1% GDP growth, tens of millions of people on Social Security disability and/or food stamps, a 15% poverty rate and $5 trillion in new federal debt. The next recession will be a depression.

    But Obama's so cool! Did you see him on The View and Lettterman or partying with Jay-Lo? And check out my free Obama Phone, man we just gotta vote for him!

    • Your last paragraph is the money shot. The American Idol generation wants a celebrity in the White House and the dependent class just wants free stuff.

  • Nothing to see here, it is all a myth and by god it was George W. Bush's fault. There is no damn reason barry should be polling even or ahead. If the muslim in the WH gets another term, we are all screwed. If we dare to question or speak up, it will be off the reeducation centers for us.

    Hitler at one point was a likable guy to many in the Third Reich and we all say what happened there.
