ElCap, what is your solution to creating more jobs here? Private sector jobs.

You're full of criticism and short on solutions or proposals, kinda like the prez.

Tell me.

And it's not a lack of demand for goods, IMO. People seem to eat-up Apple gadgets as fast as their made (in China), as one example.

Another Republican moron throws his hat into the ring.
He should consider the 0 evidence for the existence of the god he fervently believes in before disputing the large body of evidence for Global Warming.

Maybe if the Dems floated another candidate I might pay attention, but this is how Obama was elected, because there was weak-sauce on the Repub side, and it smelled the same as GW Bush.

But Obama is just Leninist in is policies. He is incompatible with the United States. This is another case of, "anything else is better".

He's economically incompatible with Americans.

I believe that Texas has the highest number of people on food stamps not the highest percentage. Also I keep hearing this nonsense about a trillion dollar stimulus package which in reality was more like 750 billion. Two hundred billion or so of that came as tax incentives which I've yet to see as a terribly effective way of creating employment. When the Dems had control of both houses of Congress they didn't have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and most bills that made it through the House were thwarted by the Republicans with a record number of the aforementioned tactics.

Which of Obama's policies are Leninist, and in what way are they Leninist?

redistribution of wealth....He is anti-Capitalist. A true socialist who is veering on a course to out outright Leninism.

EDIT;

So even though Obama got his cash, it's still the Repubs' fault?

That's lame.

and you blame Obama for it
That's is truly idiotic

So the Repubs are to blame? The Dems had control of the Congress for 2 years under The Leninist. The made sh#t worse with their policies.

Communism never works. Redistribution of wealth kills the Golden Goose. Always.

Unless you're China.

How come then Nancy Pants never even presented a budget for two years and Dingy Boy hasn't even tabled one for a vote for over 800 days?

Bluering says:

So now you are going from saying that he is a Socialist, to a Leninist, to a Communist. That was a pretty fast transition in an hour. Do you equate the three?

Oh, the details really suck. And that's when they had House and Senate rule.

The details bear the truth. But again, this will get blamed on repubs somehow...

There is no leadership. The Leninist rules.

Bluering, chill out and quit using dated terminology or I'll think you're a Tea Party a-hole. You live in Santa Clara, so maybe you did too much acid. Bet you keep quiet about your politics in that neighborhood.

However, Bluering, I agree with you that the operative mechanism in America today is a redistributive process of wealth, money, and property.

In 1973, the bottom 99% of the economic population held 80.1% of the wealth of America. The top 1% of course, the other 19.9%.

By 2007, the bottom 99% held 65.4% and the top 1% held 34.6%.

That is a redistribution of wealth.

Here are some dramatic facts that sum up how the wealth distribution became even more concentrated between 1983 and 2004, in good part due to the tax cuts for the wealthy and the defeat of labor unions: Of all the new financial wealth created by the American economy in that 21-year-period, fully 42% of it went to the top 1%. A whopping 94% went to the top 20%, which of course means that the bottom 80% received only 6% of all the new financial wealth generated in the United States during the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s (Wolff, 2007).

That would be YOU, Bluering. So while you are wondering how you will be managing your retirement, you can rest assured that the people that you are defending will be able to enjoy their villas (and I do mean plural) in all those different foreign countries where they hide their money. They are all paid for, no morgages. They are laughing while you are fighting to get them more money, and fighting to keep your income down, their taxes down and yours up.

You are just like the Soviet Union, serving the Politburo, whose members love their country Dachas, go where they want, do what they want, don't get bothered, and have people like you in the KGB who are true believers.
