Forget Green Shoots: These Are the Brown Shoots Turning Black

"The facts: Obama raised more money than any candidate, and probably owns more stock that any of us. So to imply that he's a socialist, while he's clearly in the pockets of big business, is just retarded (almost as retarded as G.W. Bush)."

The argument that smoeone cant be a socialist because liberal billionaires supported him is lame. What's retarded is not knowing that there are some very rich people who are very leftist, even communists. George Soros, the billionaire who funded not just Obama but Moveon.org, comes to mind, as does the Lamont family, one family member took on Sen Lieberman in 2006, from the left.

"Wall Street threw the country's financial body over a log and banged away while W ruled the roost, but somehow it's Obama's fault for not fixing things after less than a year in office? That IS priceless. "

More jobs have been lost in 6 months under Obama than under Bush during any period of time. Or that matter, this is the worst jobs performance for any first-6-months-of-a-pr... ever.

"
Endless excuses based on "Bush did it" won't cut it anymore. Leadership is in order. Not more of the same old stuff."

BINGO. If I had an employee who whined that his non-performance was due to the last loser I fired, I'd fire him too. So let's get real and not simplistic here: The US market is underperforming China's stock market -why ? Obama's socialist agenda scare the bejeesus out of the business sector. Cap-and-trade and socialized medicine is whats killing the 'green shoots'.

I seem to recall last year a bogus claim by Obama that his inexperienced self was going to be ready on day one. I seem to recall a promise that the bogus 'stimulus' had to be rush-passed to stop the bleeding, and that it would 'save or create 3 million jobs'. I seem to recall that the Obama administration estimate was a max unemployment of 8% if the stimulus passed. We are at 9.5%, and we will not get under 8% for ... years.

If you make big promises, expect to be called on it when you BLOW IT. Obama lied, Jobs died. America is in a hole, and Obama's plan? Dig DEEPER.

"Barak, the smoke and mirrors president, was taken to task for pointing out economic realities by the media and wall street, and for making us unhappy. With a bit of pressure he changed his tune, like he always does, and "green shoots". "

Wrong. What Obama did was say whatever it took to get what he wanted. Thus in January the sky was falling unless we passed the trillion dollar pork barrel spending bill falsely called 'stimulus'. When - surprise, surprise - deficit spending and bailouts of govts programs combined with threats to increase deficits, taxes, regulations and govt control fail to 'stimulate' a brow-beaten private sector, we get nonsense like VP Biden "nobody predicted this" and Obama's arrogant "I wouldnt have done anything differently."

Obama has already blown it. His stimulus is already a failure. What's changed in the last 2 weeks is that the 'green shoots' that signal that failure have become obvious - 3 million lost jobs and counting. That's 6 million jobs deficit compared to what Obama promised. What's also changed is that Obama has dug himself a hole by tying himself to his own fraudulent promises with his bogus claim that the stimulus has 'worked as intended'.

3 million unemployed Americans beg to differ.
