The Swamp

by Mike Memoli

Vice President Biden today played attack dog for the White House, accusing Rep. John Boehner (R) of being "nostalgic" for the failed economic policies of the Bush administration.

At an event where he was to unveil a report analyzing the impact of the Recovery Act, Biden broke from prepared remarks to react to the House minority leader's speech in Cleveland today. What was billed as a major economic address for Boehner offered no new policy other than to fire the White House economic team, Biden said.

"[That's] very constructive advice and we thank the leader for that," Biden said sarcastically.

Instead, Biden made the case that voters should not hire Republicans this fall.

"For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground," he said. "We've seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We've seen it before and we know how it ends."

Biden also defended the administration's plan to let tax cuts expire for the highest wage earners, while extending others for the middle class. To the charge that these decisions would hurt small businesses, the VP claimed it would affect only a minute percentage.

"It's a Wall Street tax cut, not a Main Street tax cut," he said of the expiring law. He also attacked Republicans for blocking in the Senate a planned $12 billion tax cut that Democrats had offered.

Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was "no doubt we're moving in the right direction."

"Say it ain't so, Joe!!" Are you calling the Bush&Cheney years a disaster, wrapped in a meltdown and covered by a misnomer, "recession", when in fact, it should be named in honor of the Cheif Executives, in our White House at the time of its occurrence: The Bush&Cheney Depression!! Corporate Media knew better than to use that word: depression!! Trying to fool America again, the Bush&Cheney and Boehner crowd, as they did with the Boondoggle in Baghdad, with the Weasels of Wall Street, The Bandits in the Boardrooms, the tax bailout of the filthy rich, or the unpaid Drug Plan for seniors!! America knows you, and that which you never fail to point out, time and time, again. By what ever name you want to go by, be it charlatan, snake-oil salesman, conmen or simply, not very good American, we, The People, know you and your hypocritical, malfeasant ways. We are tired of them, we reject them and we hope you will come to your senses and reject them, too!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.


Mister Vice President,

Where are the jobs? How are you going to reduce the deficit? Are you going to raise taxes? When will the economy start growing?

Answers please!


Yes, I'm nostalgic for the Bush years, when my house was worth 100K more than today, my children's 529 wasn't in a class action lawsuit (thank you Giunoulias), I wasn't facing a tax increase adn marriage penalty (yes, it's coming back), and my share of the "national debt" was around 12K, not the current 44K... oh and we had full employment.

But that was before the Dems took over Congress.


"For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground," he said. "We've seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We've seen it before and we know how it ends." ~ da V.P.


- We clearly are not watching the same movie. The economy was better during those eight years than it is today, or tomorrow, next week, or next month.


Biden also defended the administration's plan to let tax cuts expire for the highest wage earners,…


- Good. We will very soon get to see who those “rich” people are, or were.


… while extending others for the middle class. To the charge that these decisions would hurt small businesses, the VP claimed it would affect only a minute percentage. ~ da V.P.


- Extending WHAT tax cuts for the middle class? WHAT tax cuts have fake-a$$ democrats ever proposed? Is 15K considered middle class now?


"It's a Wall Street tax cut, not a Main Street tax cut," he said of the expiring law. He also attacked Republicans for blocking in the Senate a planned $12 billion tax cut that Democrats had offered.


- Yes, we know but how does 38 and 1/2 Republicans plus two and 1/2 RINOS, block anything? Are democrats this impotent?


Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was "no doubt we're moving in the right direction."


- No doubt? Vice President Biden, you need to get out more, there is nothing but doubt.

My advice to both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is that the majority of the American People have seen your movies before and we think they both stink. Both the Democratic and Republican movies play the same old story of blaming the other side and not coming up with constructive ways to improve things. It is the same old boring movie and plot with no constructive action to improve anything.


If the one-party media allowed a GOP reply, it would include today's news:
"Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Sales of U.S. previously owned homes plunged 27 percent in July, twice as much as forecast, evidence foreclosures and limited job growth are depressing the market.
.....Mortgage rates at record lows have provided scant relief to the industry as unemployment hovers close to 10 percent, foreclosures hold near record-highs and the economy cools."


Republican Economic Policy = Unfunded, Deficit Producing Tax Cuts For The Rich


Tax cuts for the rich is the only economic policy that Repugs like Spray Tan Boehner here ever have. Repugs don't care about about low or middle class Americans for any other reason than to figure out ways to con them into supporting more - tax cuts for the rich.

I hear ya, depot Jim, but I think I would have to at least assign the dems 50.1%. They are the ones driving this train into the great abyss.


So what was the economy like before the Dems took over Congress in 2006 Biden? A hell of a lot better than it is today. Funny how Biden doesn't mention Bush's attempts to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before the collapse. There is plenty of video of the Dems (Barney Frank especially) saying there would be now sub-prime loan collapse and that the housing market was sound. It was this collapse that left the economy in the current state it is in.


Joe, you're making a fool out of yourself. You folks in D.C. might be that stupid but us po' Americans can see right through your lies.


Biden doesn't know sh1t from Shiola. And they certainly won't bother reading the pulse of America.

I do not give a rats a** anymore but the empty suit and his VP say anymore.
When either are on TV I just turn down the volume.

Nov 2010/2012 cannot come soon enough for me.


Looks like the dem retarts got their talking points: Blame Bush, Blame Republicans, Blame Racism. We all know what the reality is- marxists have driven this economy into the ditch, the Obama drove it over a cliff. If it weren't for "rich people" I wouldn't have a job. Class warfare is being used to destroy the upper and middle class to create one government relying class. racism can't explain how Obama got elected nor why the conservatives love Walter Williams, Tom Sowell, Judge Thomas, etc. (all black folk my dear Marxists) while we hate Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, Franken and the rest (all white folk doncha know). You scum are on the way out- once and for all.


Joe is finally right on something.Things are moving in the right direction and in about 60 days he is about to see how "right" things are moving.

Bush Texan.


The Dems get 51% of the economic blame?....Hahaha! Are you off your meds again or something, Tex?


The Recovery Act wouldn't have even been necessary had Republicans not tanked the economy by giving unfunded deficit producing tax cuts to Billionaires, Mega Corporations and Big Oil, and started a $ trillion dollar war (Iraq) for no reason, Tex.


The Recovery Act saved this country from going into a full blown Bush Depression, even your beloved elected Republican crooks agree on that..


Republicans Privately Praise Recovery Act for Creating Jobs in their Home States and Districts.

Typical drivel coming from an IMF c**k s**ker. Of course we're headed in the right direction when one is purposely trying to destroy the economy of, what used to be, the most powerful country in the world. Then the icing on the cake, blame the other guy. Joe Biden is a NWO putz who hasn't been trained well enough when to keep his pie hole shut. A total **s monkey!

Tough Guy Wannabe,


It was your Wingnut heroes who tanked our economy in the first place, you moron.


It's amazing the way the dumber than a brick low-middle income Teabagger Republican base nuts (you) continue to vote against your own self-interests. If you're still stupid enough to continue to vote for a Republican party that doesn't give a damn about anyone but the Wall Street robber barons, Billionaires, Mega-Corporations and Big Oil - then you deserve everything you're getting right, clown.

So, we had 4.5% unemployment, a lower average unemployment rate over 8 years than Bill Clinton, lower taxes, and increasing wages. But Congress mismanages Fannie and Freddie (which allowed banks to mismanage their mortgage loans as well), and somehow ALL of that is negated? Nice revisionism Joe!

How quickly the Democrats forget that they..not Mr. Boehner's party had control of both the House and the Senate in 2007 and 2008. Such memory lapses seem to be another "inconvenient truth".


VP Biden has a different recollection of the 8 years that George Bush was President. As I recall, Democrats had full control of Congress for the last 2 years of the Bush Presidency. They controlled the purse strings and the legislative agenda. For Mr.Biden to claim that John Boehner and his Republican colleagues ran the economy into the ground the 8 years that George Bush was in office is just not factually correct. The economy started to slump after Democrats took the reigns of Congress.


I sure do believe every thing that VP foot in mouth biden tells me. Hey VP the econ started to go south when the dems took over in Jan 2007. Of course the "new" black panthers, acorn, and the dead will believe what you said and still vote for the progressive party.

I thought that the Dem's ran things for the last 6 years. Good luck in Nov. I hope you are all out on your A$$


Actually Mr. Biden,

The Republicans were running the last 6 years of the Clinton term, the best 6 of his presidency, then they ran the first 6 of Mr. Bush's - his 6 best. It was the last 2 when Democrats ran things into the ground and they continue to do so presently....at least until the next Republican congress is sworn in next January.


Rob, please pass what you are smoking.


EVERY American earning less than $30K a year is on welfare in this country, getting back MORE than they pay in taxes every year.


Top 1% - making $410,096 or more - 40.42% of taxes

Top 5% - making $160,041 or more - 60.63% of taxes

Top 10% - making $113,018 or more - 71.22% of taxes

Top 25% - making $66,532 or more - 86.595 of taxes


Top 50% - making $32,879 or more - 97.11% of taxes.


Bottom 50% - making >$32,879 - 2.89% of taxes.


HALF of this country is on welfare and you complain about the HALF of that work our a$$es of getting to keep what we earn rather than having the criminals in Washington steal it to use for their own political and personal gain?

....no doubt we're moving in the right direction. -- VP Biden

Only if your purpose is to destroy the economy....if not the nation.

[May you live in interesting times. -- Ancient Chinese curse.]

P.S. Why do you thinks the Obamas have been living it up so much? Probably because they know what's going to happen and want to have a good time while there is still an opportunity.


The record speaks for itself. Dems are lousy at governing, economics, and they're stuck in the depression, idolizing the guy who prolonged it: FDR.

What this country needs is less of both parties and more Americans working. But this batch of Dems have been near criminal in their incompetence and ignorance.


"Unfunded Tax Cut" what the crap is that? Tax cuts are not something that has to be funded! That's just money the government hasn't stolen from me yet.


Hey Joe, how is that "Recovery Summer" goin'???? I heard it was postponed...........


Pretty stupid comments!


Joe...What have you beeen smoking?


Marginal rates on upper 1 % in income should be raised much higher-- like at least in the high 40's.


Unemployment benefits and stimulus spending will have to be continued to prevent the economy from going deeper into depression than it already is.


Reps would do well to think about the long term consequences of their "anti-deficit, anti-stimulus" theme song.


Because even if they manage to gain some control, 1 house, in the Congress, they'll not be able to stop the stimulus spending and stop the quaisi-welfare programs.


If they could, the economy would crash and burn and in 2012 Obama would be elected with 1936 FDR type majorities.


Dems think "we the people" are morons - Obama and Biden, Pelosi and Reid - lie after lie after lie - bad karma Joe. There is serious depression among those of us that can read, write and think.


I'll take Idiot Hair-plugged VP's for $500, Alex!"
Joe, you aren't even a useful idiot! "We're headed in the right direction?" Could be, especially if your intent is to run the country into the ground. Double digit unemployment, doubling of the national debt in just 18 months, and untold millions more relying on the Federal government for their subsistence...wow, what a direction! Way to go Joe! Gee, at this rate you will have reduced the USA to third world status in just 4 years. Please, sir, may we have some more?


10% unemployment
Trillions in annual deficits
Failed $800 billion stimulus
Bailouts of GM, Fannie/Freddie
Takeover of healthcare system
Non enforcement of illegals
Foreclosures on the rise
New home sales down again
Jobless claims rising
Union giveaways
Oil disaster
Crooks in Congress
Obama on vacation again

That's a great record!

Hey Joe - you were in the Senate for all of those years. You and your idiot pals gave Fannie and Freddie the green light to kill America by giving away mortgages to people who didn't deserve them. The DEMS controlled congress since 2006. Whether Bush was bad or not, Congress passes budgets and laws. You are responsible. Man up and leave the real work to people with a brain!


Look at that tan!!! It must be nice to be able to sail on your boat and share drinks with the crew........while the rest of the country stands in the soup line!!!! WHERE"S THE JOBS THAT THE STIMULUS $$$$ WERE SUPPOSE TO BRING??????


Get rid of these bums. America has never sucked so bad. The chimp in the White House and his hate America cronies must be stopped! They're killing us.


This is what happens when we elect a community agitating huckster for President and a bobble-head for VP.


Huh, that's interesting. Why is it that the economy was just fine, UNTIL, the dems took control of congress. Congress runs this country, not the mistake of our lifetime.
Geez people, it's not rocket science.


Hmmmm now who controlled congress during the last half of the Bush years (yes I do miss him). the dems in congress drove this country into the ground


All you socialist democrats forget, Democrats were in charge of the House for the last 2 years of the Bush term!!!


Mr. Biden is confused.

His own party was in the majority in the Congress for four years prior to when he came to the West Wing.

As we all know, it is the Congress that is empowered with enacting legislation and funding bills.

Mr. Biden should also know that if we look into the ground, we will not literally find any economy there.

We may literally find space in Mr. Biden's skull, however.


Mr. Vice-President, The planet Mars called. They want their fool back. Guess this makes you top dog.


If down/backwards is the right direction - then he's correct.


The tax cuts gave us one of the lowest unemployment rates in years.

The Dems designed the car that ran into the ditch while Barney Frank and Chris Dodd stepped on the acelerator while leading Congress in a drunken Bacchus festival.

Yeah we have seen this movie before: The failure of socialism. It's a depressing bit of melodrama featuring a lot of phony lip service to "fairness" while reveling in the perks that skimming from Big Government brings for the demagogues of capitalism, while all the minions of class envy provide the miserable soundtrack.


Biden hasn't done a damn thing to help anyone, bottom line. He needs to shut his face and get to work. He has a job, paid by taxes and producing NOTHING. Worthless, just like obama.


Joe Biden, the village idiot speaks


Gee Botox Joe, Maybe we need to spend some more money to keep from going into a depression. That worked so well the first time......
PS I miss Bush, too. He certainly wasn't perfect, but at least things worked then.


Democrats controlled Congress since 2006. Barney Frank has now said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should not have been supported. Yet, he said they were solid and needed all the additional support and blocked any effort to regulate them when it was necessary.
Obama care was going to lower costs. Now the CBO says it is going to raise costs.
Unless we pass the stimulus unemployment is going to go above 8.5%
Yes, it is all the Repubs and nutjobs fault


Whether you think the GOP and Bush caused this mess or the Dems caused this mess is meaningless at this point. We are in a mess and its become blatantly obvious that Obama and Biden are incapable of fixing it and their policies have made things much worse.


STFU and GBTW.


For those who are SICK listening to the interloper Obama and the Buffoon Biden propagate the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:

January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

At the time:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%

The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!

THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOS! (
BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy).

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????

OBAMA

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???

OBAMA and the Democratic Congress

So when Obama and the Liberals try to blame Bush...

REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!


we need another stimulus Joe.


repost dis...
and i say the folks that pays NO Fed income taxes shouldn't be allow to vote, nor one's who are generational welfare scabs..(they are on welfare, so was their parent! so was their grandparent!)

Joe, Congress passes the laws. Presidents implement the policies to adhere to the laws passed. Democrats have been in control of congress for almost four years now. Care to contast the economic performance of the years Repbulicans ran congress with the years since under Democrat control?


I have one question. Are you better off now than four years ago?


many thanks to Bwawney "hot pants" fwahnks and the west of his investment buddies for dwiving fwannie and fweddie into the ground and bankrupting the middle class.

i lost 40% of my retirement at Fidelity.


it's not coming back.


the current Demonrat press releases are like Pravda misinformation posts


The only reason this pinhead gets to show up at the Whitehouse is assassination insurance for BO.


Yes Biden is from Delaware and we are very sorry for what he is doing to the country with our Vacationer and Chief ! Our best years in Delaware is when Pete du Pont was Governor and he slashed taxes for all those evil corporations ! Joe never wanted to kill the golden goose so he never touched THAT third rail of Delaware politics ! It is good for Delaware but not good for the country ? Say it ain't so Joe !


also,

like it or not, it's ONLY the rich or
business owners that HIRES people to work. without them, there'd be no job unless u wanna start yr own business. so by increasing their burden, they will slow down their hiring or just not hire. no matter how u cut the cake with these "rich" or business owners, they will find a way to make $$, so in the end,
who loses out? u dumb workers
who are screaming that the rich should pay their "fair" share...why don't u scream at the roughly 50% that don't even PAY fed income tax each year. they got the same 24 hrs as you and i, how come they can't make ends meet but still has an iphone??


We are doomed!!!


Heading in the right direction! Ummm someone tell him the bus is heading to Communist China please.

Oh wait, I might get flagged at Whitehouse.gov

Ah nuts, I'll just pack my bag for camp.


this administration has lost their marbles... do not take us for fools.. it is insulting.


This guy is NEVER EVER right about ANYTHING...He is a total embarrassment.


If simpleton Biden says the country is on the right track, doesn't that mean we're on the wrong one???? The guys brain dead. Three letter word J-O-B-S.


Why has no one stated the obvious? Biden is a dithering idiot. If you are waiting for him to contribute something that matters, you have a very long wait.
For those of you who are so obsessed with the “tax cuts for the rich”, you are ignorant to how the economy works. The “rich” really boil down to employers. Employers are working to make what’s called a profit. Therefore, they adjust their credits and debits so a profit can be made. One type of debit is employees. Another is taxes. There is a finite amount of corporate money that can be spent on operations. That money is called a budget (foreign term to democrats). If a company is forced to spend it on taxes, then the corporation will have to cut costs in another area. The area with the most flexibility is the help (employees). Conclusion, as taxes go up, jobs go down or remain static (no hiring). So go ahead and push to raise taxes on the rich and push you job out the door.


So Joey Biden says that democrats have nothing to fear in November. Voters won’t vote Republican. Hmm, that is not what all the polls are saying. Barry’s poll numbers are plummeting. The democrat congress poll numbers are in the cellar. Is this the same Biden who beat the drums for an Iraq invasion, only to want to cut and run; and divide the country into three? Is this the same Joey Biden who didn’t want the surge, but now takes credit for the accomplishments of our brave service personal? The same Joey Biden who used his so-called foreign policy expertise to get the Iraqis to agree on a coalition government? Is this the same Joey Biden who began the summer proclaiming it the summer of recovery, but now only cries with Barry this was supposed to be the summer of recovery, the summer of recovery.


Unemployment is up. Total employment is down. The stock market is down. GDP is down. Home sales are plummeting. Consumer confidence is down. Spending is up, up and away! Deficits are at historic highs and sucking up private capital. We have a president who bows down to non-Western monarchs and kings; but kisses up to third world thugs like ahmadikejad and hugeo chavez. Seems to me that everything that should be up is down, and everything that should be down is up.


Mr. Biden has been perceived as an open mouth, insert foot buffoon thorughout his career. Why? Mainly because he is!

I love how people in control of the house/senate during the Bush years convenieintly forget their own involvement in our current mess.

The truth is, regardless of party, the Senate and House are occupied by a majority of morally bankrupt, absolutely corrupt a-holes. Add to this a President who seems to hate middle-class America, and will do anything to get them regardless of the price the entire country pays.

I personally hope Al-Qaeda can find a way to strike at the next State of the Union address. This would be America's best hope! Maybe if all of those greedy pigs are gone, a new batch of leaders can emerge to help this great country regain its sense of direction.


Yeah, Joey, things are going JUST GREAT! Ignore those housing numbers, ignore those newly unemployed numbers. Just keep right on trucking buddy!

What's your excuse going to be next year Joey? More "It's Bush's fault!"?
The Dimwits have held the purse strings since Jan 2007, and the White House for 2 years.

The "Best and Brightest Administration, evah!". That right Joey? So what's the problem?


If simpleton Biden says the country is on the right track, doesn't that mean we're on the wrong one???? The guys brain dead. Three letter word J-O-B-S.


With Joe Biden the dimbulb of hope on your side who needs enemies. Hey Joe, how about bringing back our manufacturing jobs from China and Mexico! It will restart the economy, put people to work, and help pay off the Obama Biden National debt, largest in American history.


Oh those laughable libs! They'll continue to blame Bush for the depression we're in until we finally get out of it, and then they'll claim it's because of their policies. As for the poster who says "bring the troops home"; while I want them all home as well, I wonder how many reservists and others will wind up in unemployment lines with the rest of us.


I agree with you that the republicans are scumbags too, joe. You were put in office to fix what the republicans are said to have started, joe. Please, just do something.


Biden looks like the used care salesman from hell.


Well, at least Biden is consistently clueless. No, America has never been in this situation before. America has never been run by Communists. And you are a defacto sympathizer.

All the people of means are moving their assets out of this communist cesspool that you've created. The Federal government has confiscated 1/3 of private businesses. With more to come. You really don't get it do you. If we are lucky, we'll have a Civil War. If we're not, private enterprise will be taken over by the Oval office and Adolf Hitler II won't be far behind.

No Biden. You have helped to destroy this Country. Enjoy the collapse. And reap the rewards that are coming.


I wish we could go back to the years when we had a GOP president and GOP Congress: 5% unemployment, the annual deficit at 161 billion and falling. bUt them the Dems seized power in 2007, and now we have 10% unemployment and a July 2010 deficit of 165 billion!!


the democrats have been a majority in the house and senate since 2006


DEMOCRATS HAVE HAD THE MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS SINCE TEH 2006 ELECTIONS, RIGHT?

WHAT A DUMBASS, HE AND OBAMA HAVE BEHAVED STUPIDLY! STILL TRYING TO BLAME BUSH WHEN MOST OF US WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAN THE RADICAL ARAB FRONT FOR THE JIHAD ON AMERICA!

"BITE ME" BIDEN AND TOTUS NEED TO SHUT UP AND RESIGN. CLEARLY, THEY ARE OVER THEIR HEADS.


These idiots took a perfectly good recession and are turning it into a depression! If the people across the country don't wake up in November to get things right, we're screwed. There will be no turning back.


I'm confused. I could have sworn the house was controlled by dems the last couple of years of the Bush/Cheney admin. That would mean that Biden's party was in control. Maybe he had a senior moment.
Is there any politician that can tell the truth out there?
Bush never should have given the stimulus. That was his mistake. The 13 trillion is Obama, Reid, and Pelosi's mistake. I wish they could admit it.


I'm heartened to see more Americans standing up to this cancer known as the far-left wing of the Democrat party. Judging by comments on liberal websites AND conservative websites, along with every poll in the civilized world, anti-Democrat sentiment is registering off the charts. Everybody say: Yeah!


Lier Lier Pants on Fire! Unfortunately what you are suggesting can not work. We need tax cuts for the everyone that pays taxes even your so called evil rich! I've never worked for a middle class person or poor person it doesn't work! Remember the "Community Re-Investment Act"? This is what fueled the fire that brought the economy down and you Democrats said it would not do that when Bush's people confronted you with it. Now we are stuck with Fanny and Freddy! We will take you people down because we are Americans and we will prevail! It is still "We the People" not you the Government!


Biden's proclamations remind me of the old Pravda predictions of the coming yearly grain harvest. Every year was going to be a bumper crop.

Hey Joe, when you're not the lead dog, the scenery never changes.


Biden, you are a worthless pile of crap...a complete moron.


It was just announced that the stimulus cost more than the Iraq war. So, the democrats did more damage in one fell swoop than Bush did in 8 years. Is there anyone in this administration who isn't incompetent?


GOD I miss President Bush. During the Bush years we had a roaring economy, only going bad when the democRATs took control of congress.

President Bush should have slapped down the democRATs when CrackheadObummer, fat*ss clinton, te(r)d kennedy,
little joey biden, etc were demanding mortgages for people (especially racial minorities) who simply put, could not afford them.


Joe Biden.....there is something really wrong with this guy....what planet is he on


Let's see, we have a president who promised hope and change, he also said he cared for the poor... just not with his personal income. He identifies with the poor...except when he vacations in Martha's Vineyard.
Obama is not a leader, he's aloser. If you have any doubt, look at who he gave the vice president job too?
Any questions?
He used the poor knowing they weren't educated enough to see they were being used.
In 2000 Obama donated less than 1% of his 1/2 million salary to the poor.
Yea he cares, he cares that the poor never figure him out.


Can I have what he's having? What's that he's drinking? What's that he's smoking?


Biden, you eat regular and don't have to look for shelter every night . I'm sure for you things are looking up.


Joe, things sure look great if you base everything on the Obamas. The Prez can play golf anytime, his wife and daughter can go on a whirlwind tour in Spain, and they can jaunt around to New York, Martha's Vineyard, etc. So yes, things look great. Too bad most of America don't have that same outlook.


I am smarter than Joe Biden. And, apparently, so is most of America. There are no new jobs ... saved jobs? ... or is there the promised drop in unemployment. Taxes kill investment. Joe kills our Hope.


Biden has to be nuts if he thinks this country is going in the right direction. Wonder if he shares his wealth like the taxpayers have to.


I want some of what Biden's smoking.


Right direction? Only if you are a drunken idiot on their way to hell! In that case Mr. Biden, I guess you are heading us in the right direction.
I believe that the Dems...& some Repub's are deliberately destroying capitalism. That way they can have their brand of progressivism (socialism in disguise). Don't think for a minute we are fooled by it. Say by-by in the mid-terms and let's get some real representatives of the people in 2012. Out with the Neo-Cons! In with people of the Republic!


Oh Joe, we have watched you robbers, looters, liars and cons AKA: Progressive/Communist/Democrats, flush trillions down the "D" sewer over the past 19 months with the results being the:
worse economy since Carter
worse housing market since Carter
worse unemployment numbers since Carter.
worse consumer confiedence since Carter.
The housing crisis was caused by CONGRESS (that you be you) as you passed bills that forced banks to lend to people that couldn't qualify for loans. Futher, you scum, oversight of Fannie and Freddy was the job of again? CONGRESS

Now, after robbing future generation and enslaving our children to Communist China, you have the guts to get up there and attack
the last administration? Those hair plugs have clearly drained the last bit of sense.

RESIGN AND TAKE THAT TWO-BIT PISS-ANTPOSER PRESIDENT WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO. YOU BELONG IN A CELL WITH MADOFF OR TO BE CHARGED WITH ECONOMIC TREASON.

AGAIN, BITE ME BIDEN, YOU WERE IN CONGRESS SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN. MAN UP AND TAKE SOME OF THE BLAME FOR THE BILLS THAT YOU VOTED FOR.


This just in!

Hairplugs cause Alzheimers.

Sorry Joe, you and O gotta GO!


The economy under Bush was great for the first 6 years, until the Pelosi crowd took over congress.

Remember, it is congress that controls the purse strings, and Pelosi has been robbing America's treasure for 4 years now, pulling the economy into a downward spiral.


Right Direction? Please!!


The VP is an idiot, that's pretty much an understood point, LOL.

So if SickJoe says something, think the opposite. The man's a confirmed flake, idiot and a goofball.

Hope dat helps any liberals who hope Joe will take dem home to the promise land, LOFL at idiot liberals


Actually, many of us are becoming "nostalgic" for the Bush administration. At least we had a good man in office.Now we have either an absolute fool or an absolute traitor in office - I suspect the latter.

We could measure the debt in billions up to when Obama took over and now we measure the debt in trillions.

I never thought I'd say this but I do miss Bush or even Clinton. We might have had our differences and disagreements but we didn't have communists running the country. We sure do now.

Yes, run against Bush and we'll compare a man we knew loved his country vs the Obama regime and the anti-American ilk from the '60's on a mission to destroy the country. What was it Obama said in the book Ayer's wrote for him? Something like if things went to hell he'd side with the Islam nations against American.....Well, mission accomplished.

Obama is truly the leader of the radical Muslims on their Jihad on America. I'm sure we'll be hearing "Allahu Akbar" from the traitor one day soon.


What Biden truly does not understand any better than his over-ego-ed boss (because neither one of them has ever paid a bill or needed to make a payroll) is that the Wall Street tax cut revocation WILL effect SMALL GUYS. The small guys all live off the PURCHASE ORDERS coming down from bigger businesses! It's really hard to believe that they don't KNOW this universal truth. I guess they must have been too absorbed in LAW (Weasel) SCHOOL -- "Principles of Lying - 101"


Keep in mind that Obama and his administration have spent us into the poor house, have denied business the stability to plan for the future and are creating a draconian economy that taxes everything, including the watts you use in electricity. Every man, woman and child in the US has a debt over his head of $40,000 and that doesn't take into consideration the interest that will have to be paid to our creditors. Obama - Biden, you are socialists and have no place in the America we know as fair, prudent and constitutional. More than ever we will have to be shielded by the Constitution to remain a free people. But your people want to get rid of it!.


This clown is less credible than his boss, the Liar In Chief. This stupid a--hole is just that. An a--hole.


Yes, Joe, we've seen this movie before. It was called "The Carter Administration." The only good thing that came of that was eight years of Reagan.


You have got to be kidding me! Who does this man think he is? He is nuts! Except for the last eight months when the Dems kept shouting, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" and caused it to actually fall so that they could say, "it's the economy, stupid" we were doing great. I want "W" back.


Joe Biden is the guy at a James Taylor concert yelling, "Margaritaville! MARGARITAVILLE!!"
wait for it... wait for it...


We are here because the dems wanted everyone to own a house. They didnt care if they could afford it or not. Let wall street be on the hook for the defaults or actually the government in freddie and fannie. Dems where in bed (literaly with those institutions.)Bush and McCain raised issues with these institutions. Franklin was questioned and the black caucus once again played the race card. They said it was a political lynching. The questions went away. Then the people that could not afford the house at 0 down and very little income defaulted the system fell apart. The gvt that was run by the dems over regulated and sent this economy into a death spiral. You can go to you tube and type in the phrase housing or any other words to get to a lot of c-span coverage about this unless they already deleted it. The info is out there if you really want to know what happend. Otherwise stick your head up your crack and blame Bush and the GOP.


P L E A S E! Joe must think we don't know he and Barry were in Congress. Doesn't Joe know that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are Democrats? They've been the people, as Barry is so fond of saying, that were driving that car into the ditch. See, when you control both Houses of Congress, you have to man up and take responsibility for the bills voted into law. Um, Joe does know that spending bills come from Congress, right? Then in 2009, we got a "Democrat"(or some party we're not to say out load, in the White House (Joe and Barry). So, just who exactly is driving that car??? Somebody needs to check the driver's license and find out who is at the wheel and what they're drinking and smoking.



Biden is right. We are heading in the direction that he and the administration - and all the rest of the socialists - want us to go. No, he is not content with how fast it is going, he would like to see the public option health insurance, no secret balloting in unions, and the complete nanny state - along with the destruction of the US economy. But they are heading in that direction. Come on, people, take him at his word - he really doesn't lie nearly as often as his boss.


Biden is ever the LIAR. The man doesn't have a clue anyway. He's dumber than Dan Quayle, in fact he's dumber than a box of rocks.

He ought to get beat with a clue bat. The entire White House have done nothing but lie since January 2009 and the Great Recession started six months have the Demoncrats took over Congress on January 2007. They can blame Bush, aided and abetted by the national socialist media, but in large part they OWN this recession with their Keynesian idiocies.


If Obama had taken that $787 billion and divided it by 300 million citizens roughly each person in America would have gotten $2600.00 HMMMM myself with a family of 5 I could have done alot of direct stimulus to the economy too bad they used it instead to study ants and build turtle bridges I wish that the 65 million idiots in this country who voted these morons into office were the only ones who would have to pay back this complete waste of money


Somewhere in Hell, Joe Stalin, Walter Ulbricht, and the other dead leaders of the former Soviet European satellites are giving old Slo Joe a standing ovation for his grand rewrite of history.


PRESEDENTIAL TRIVIA: Where does the President's first name come from ?

ANSWER: Our president is named after the prophet Mohammads horse. If you dont belive me look it up yourself ! :-)

Pass it on !


This guy could have been President, but attack dogs are hard to control and usually not very stable.


Two questions:

Where are the jobs?

Who has had the majority in Congress for the past four years.

Man up boys, you sound like a bunch of out of control children that have been asked who did it and get "I don't know" or "it was him not me". Sorry boys, it isn't going to work this time. Again, stand up for a change we can belive in!

Dumbasses, we're on to you and your band of cons.


Biden is a clueless buffoon. He'll still be whistling happy tunes when the stock market dips below 5,000, and WORKING mens' home are next to worthless. He's the #2 cheerleader for Cloward-Piven.


I miss George Bush


President Bush gained jobs, kept unemployment at less than 5% and kept us safe for 9+ years (bho is still using some of the policies put in place by President Bush and VP Cheney). President Bush and Vice President Cheney did all this while enduring a takeover of the house by queen pelosi and senate by harry “land deal” reid for the last 2 years of his 2nd term. The unemployment went up the day bho was elected. Bho and his sycophants are going to make us uncomfortable, unsafe, unhealthy, poor and stupid.


JOE n O gotta GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You notice that AP-obama doesn't put "the failed economic policies of the Bush administration" in quotations. Journalism is dead and AP-obama is leading the way. Joe foot-in-mouth is a joke to all but the brain dead and the committed marxists...


Biden, give me the old Bush movie any day, remember, 4.3% unemployment, housing up, ditto the stock market.
Memo to self and other like minded people: toss out the uneducated trash like Biden, Waters, Wrangel,Pelosi, Retard, Conyers and anyone else with an IQ of under 10! Ooooops, I just noticed every 2nd person might have to leave the Senate or House.
Anyone who has not read or understood the Constitution of the USA need not apply for a government job!


PUKE to the point of being RETARDED! If he told you to cross the road for him would you! This man is garbage and uses the stupid for his own gains!! They have one agenda and that is to have two classes of people in this country, the Rich and the Poor and no middle class!! Do you see you house values going down and do you see unemployment going down and the Government Growing! That is what they call Communism!! Thank the Democrats because you will all be eating out of Garbage cans soon!!

Liberalism is a mental disorder...

And a cancer in the fabric of American society. Eliminate the neo-Socialist liberals from America, and all of our problems will melt away into history...


Amazing...Bush's failed policies? Correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't there been a Democratic Congress since '06?


Gotta chime in. In spite of a recession, 9/11, and two wars the federal tax receipts under Bush grew to quarter century highs. Things started going south in 2006. Let's see. What happened in 2006??
.
Hey Joe - how much value has your house lost in the past 18 months? How many more people are out of work than there were under Bush? How many people are getting killed, raped, robbed, and terrorized in the border states? I kept writing my Democratic Congressman asking for some bailout assistance for my wife's business but he never responded to multiple inquiries. And, she had to close her store front because of the economy. Did the unions do OK under the Big 0?? Need some accounting clarification here.
.
Hey Joe - if everything is so good, why am I having a hard time seeing the positive effects of your policies? Probably because I am one of those who cling to God and guns. Finally, grow a set and stop blaming someone else for your failed policies.


Biden is becoming mentally challenged - again....OH - He is also completely "Off His Trolley", and needs to take his *MEDS* on a regular basis...I wouldn't put him in charge of cleaning my pool!!!


Just like a ponzi schene the entitlement programs are folding.
Ask Illinios teachers, they just liquidated 10% of the pension to pay for one year of benefits.
Socialism bankrupts everytime.


...they keep telling us sheeple that everything is fine and everything is ok. That tells me that this is all being done on purpose. God help us, we've been duped again!


It is so sad to see people defending both parties. They both caused huge deficit spending. They both passed the 19th amendment to allow taxing citizens. Both parties blow! We need a revolution, a voting revolution where no one votes for a donkey or republican. Just one time outa do it!


How do you spell "moron"?

B I D E N.

Is this the only guy in the nation who doesn't understand he was picked because Zerobama needed an old fat white guy with no brains on the ticket?

If we EVER have had a dumber person at this level of government I am unaware of it. Coupled with Barbara "dim bulb" boxer and Nancy "9% approval" Pelosi, I will NEVER understand why seemingly intelligent Americans put these room-temp-IQs in positions of power....


the Vice Pres. reminds me of Baghdad Bob, the Iraqi "Information" Minister who stood before the TV extoling the victories of the Red Gaurd and the destruction the enemy while Baghdad was falling to U.S. troops.


Joe "Bite Me" Biden doesn't know what DAY it is.


First factual error, Joe: You and the Democrats have controlled Congress for the past 4 years. But I guess you were too busy double-crossing Bush on Iraq to worry about the economy, eh?


Joe Biden ...The Village Idiot!


The consummate token white man. CBS would do well to launch another fall-season comedy sitcom called "$h*! Joe Biden Says"


I will quote BECK "I have never worked for a poor person" I happen to be in the 5% bracket-own my own business-need extra employees but decided to WORK an extra approx. 30 hours a week to keep from hiring anyone else because small business owners are scared to death of what this administration will do next. Obama WILL NEVER CREATE POSITIVE JOB GROWTH ON HIS WATCH!!!!!!!! Thats right, I SAID IT Work 90 hours a week now and had to terminate 25 employees and 5 families over his economic policies. 2 had to file bankruptcy. Either me or them.Just Darwin's "survival of the fittest" and they were hard-hard working people & it broke my heart to do it. THIS ADMINISTRATION IS BAD FOR BUSINESS and a GD MFN JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Joe Biden is such an AIRHEAD! Just another one the the lying democrats, But Joe holds another distinction--He is incompetent!


Once again "Bite me" sounds a little too shell shocked...As far as failure goes, who had to settle as Vice camel testicle after his failed run for Head Comizar.
I'm waiting for him to start pizzing on himself.


Wow....earth to Biden....either you think we are REALLY stupid...or else YOU are really stupid. Since i have more education and real world experience than you, I will go with the assumption that YOU are the idiot here.


I will gladly take the 5% unemployment, my house worth 20% more, stock prices 20% higher, and home sales back to reasonalble levels back in 2006 BEFORE the DUMOCRATS TOOK OVER CONGRESS. Yes that is when things went south. JOE BIDEN you are the DUMBEST VP we have EVER had.


Spending 9% of GDP (the deficit) to get us 2% growth in the GDP ! You’re a big f'..ing deal genius Joe. Stand up and take a bow. You’re one of a kind….you even beat a broken clock ……you’re always wrong.


The only problem with Republicans is when they get stupid and try to 'reach across the aisle' to work WITH Democrats, and thus become too much like them. Republicans are supposed to be constitutional conservatives who know and understand that our founders gave us a republic - NOT a democracy. That's the first order of business for the wackos screaming bloody murder here about what Republicans have done. Look at the country's founding and the constitution, and you'll notice that most of what the federal government does, it DOES NOT have the authority to do. And the wackos scream about the government defending our country, when that IS what they're empowered to do by the Constitution. The Democrats have been waging war against our founding for for about 70 years now, instituting entitlement programs and engineering a wealth redistribution program, cleverly dubbed the 'progressive income tax', in order to steal from those who work and save and look after their future - in order to give it away to those who don't or won't work. If you want to live in a socialist country, which is what the Dems are trying to implement, please move somewhere else. Those of us who love the republic and the freedoms that it provides have nowhere else to go if this one is destroyed by Obama and his vast team of incompetents (yes, you Joe, are included), carrying on the 'liberal', or 'progressive', or 'Democrat' (translation, please: anti-freedom, anti-American, anti-Constitution, lawless, unethical, anti-business, anti-free market, divisive, racist, bigoted, hypocrytical, lying, elitist) agenda. And oh, yeah - a bit fiscally irresponsible. Even if you agree with what the Dems are doing, in stark opposition to the will of the American people, because you somehow stand to gain at this juncture, you SHOULD be deathly afraid of a government that has the will and the power to operate that way. Sooner or later, you're not going to like it when you discover that the engine of American spirit has been destroyed, and there's no engine to pull the gravy train. When you overthrow the foundings that made us great, and elect a bunch of incompetents that destroy it all, who's going to mail out your Welfare checks, food stamps, unemployment benefits, social security checks, farm subsidies, and all the other goodies? Only idiots continue to blame Bush and/or Republicans, because they can't see the forest for the trees. Wake up and vote out all the Dems/Libs, and force politicians to follow the Constitution!!


that this bumblef.k was elected in the first place indicates what kind of state the country is in. Hey Joe....shut up.


The VP thinks that the stock market heading down, along with home prices and sales, is the "right direction?" With skyrocketing debts, stagnant unemployment hovering around 10% and coming tax hikes?

What a horse's a**.


Yep Joe, please keep moving in that direction starting in Nov 2010 right thru 2012, right out the back door with all your progressive nutbags in tow. Will be glad when your gone and it can't come too soon. Adios you lousy dirtbag!


This guy is a MORON


Obama is the worst human being, not just President , in the history of the USA. Biden is just an A** hole

TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND 10% UNEMPLOYMENT. FOLLOW THE MONEY. MISERABLE THEIVES BELONG IN PRISION.


I love it when kindergarten is let out and the mainstays of the Republican-Libertarian-T.Bagger gang let our nation know what they can look forward to if these selfish, mean-spirited fear-mongers, regain, even a toe-hold on any seats won, in the up-coming election. If you think America is in trouble now, wait until the likes of Bush&Cheney get back in power, there will be soup kitchens and a very angry citizenry. There will be trouble in America. We the People will not take too kindly, of having , foreign or domestic, Corporations, stealing our democracy, with bribes, kick-backs slush funds.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.


Joe you should head the Ministry of Truth for this Administration. Your "Dont Worry Be Happy" vote Democratic this November is mind boggeling just like Obama selecting you as his VP. Voters pay attention and listen to what these politicians say and then hold them to their promises. Unless we have high expectations for these politicians we will continue to get mediocre ones who only have their self serving interests at heart. Vote out of office all incumbants, wipe the slate clean and lets start over again with a new team. If we keep electing these people back into office they won't change a thing. The Democrats promised Hope and Change and all we have gotten so far is; Disappointment and Disallusionment.


Your problem and my problen is not joe biden, its the two party system that is destroying America, each party blameing the other while the people of the country, the workers are the ones who suffering. There should only be one party, the AMERICAN party and those elected officials who choose not to be a AMERICAN and defend her borders from any and all transgressions should be hanged by the neck until dead. Other than that, alls fine around here.


Forget global warming, this summer has been hot because of that blazin' economic activity here in Recovery Summer!!!


Let's see; Moving in the right direction...Stock market flat; house sales falling; debt at an all time high and unsustainable; Stimulus package measure if "lives touched"; Iran has a nuke; effective unemployment is at 17%. Now, which planet was Biden speaking from. Tip: Presiden Bush hasn't been in office for two years. It's time to start accepting responsibility for continuous claims that this administration has "brought the ecconomy back from the brink". We're wise to you Biden.

Joe, Joe,

At least now you get the story line straight from the White House. No need to plagiarize any thing any more. Someone else will do all your thinking.

Life is so easy now!


Joe Biden looks like a Muppet character.

BEFORE THE OBAMA REGIME PEOPLE THAT WANTED JOBS HAD THEM. PEOPLE THAT HAD HOMES COULD AFFORD TO KEEP THEM. PEOPLE WITH SAVINGS AND STOCKS WERE INVESTING FOR THEIR FUTURE AND THEIR CHILDREN'S FUTURE.

THE COUNTRY WAS DOING MUCH BETTER BEFORE THE SOROS SOCK-PUPPETS TOOK CONTROL OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS IN 2007 AND THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2009.


Biden and his immediate family will live in luxury for the rest of their lives. I cannot believe that the American people think that's OK - that this fox deserves more than the families of our fallen soldiers.


HAHAHAHAHAHAH IF THE RIGHT DIRECTION IS STRAIGHT DOWN OVER THE CLIFF AT 100 MPH THEN WERE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION...HEY ALL YOU AMERICA HATERS IN WASHINGTON...HERES AN IDEA...THERE ARE APPROX. 25 MILLION CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS CURRENTLY STEALING ABOUT 20 MILLION AMERICAN JOBS, INSTEAD OF THOSE HONEST HARD WORKING TAX PAYING AMERICANS BEING ON UNEMPLOYMENT, WELFARE, OR HAVE GIVEN UP LOOKING FOR WORK ALTOGETHER, THE JOBS BEING STOLEN BY THESE CRIMINAL ILLEGALS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE AMERICANS RIGHT NOW. MAKE THE TRAITORS IN WASHINGTON ENFORCE E-VERIFY AND DEMAND EVERY EMPLOYER CHECK EVERY CURRENT AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO VERIFY IF ITS STOLEN OR FAKE, AND DO THIS WITH HARSH PUNISHMENT IN THE FORM OF A FELONY CONVICTION FOR ANY EMPLOYER WHO CIRCUMVENTS THE LAW. OH BUT WAIT, YOU WOULD ONLY DO THAT IF YOU WANT TO "HELP" AMERICA NOT DESTROY IT...NEVER MIND


Whats chu been drinkin', Joe? Ya soundin' thick in the tongue! Sober up and try it again!


For months I have struggled with the question of why, would anyone choose a buffoon like Joe Biden as his VP. It's a real poser to me, though a republican I am. Had God given me the power to choose his running mate, I would have chosen most anyone over this gaffe mouthed maroon. Then recently it dawned on me. No self respecting wacko nut job would dare harm a hair on Barrack's pointed head knowing that Biden would be the successor. Kudos Mr. Soros! Nice choice!


Dear Mr Vice President,
So once more, a short civics lesson.


Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.


For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.


And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: (below)




If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.


In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.


There's another movie you might want to see, Joe.
It's called "Clueless in D.C."


Biden, the dumbest VP ever to serve, is spouting the absurd party line. We are moving 'in the right direction' only in reference to Obama's anti-American agenda, which seeks to bring us to third-world status. Bush presided over 52 months of economic growth, fueled by the Bush tax cuts. When Obummer lets them expire, it will plunge this nation into depression, which is exactly his intended purpose. Obama is the most anti-American President ever to serve.


Joe looks "shovel ready".


Joe if this is the right direction you should work for a Dollar a year as you are leading good people in this country to a cliff. As a economic student this not the right direction and I challenge U to show me what you mean by that statement or quit making goofy statements which show how stupid you are. Im not from either party but common sense


No wonder they call this guy Joe 'Bite Me"...
Everybody knows that before the Dems took control of congress in 2007 there was 4.5% unemployment, housing values were up and taxes were down, there was 58 straight months of job creation along with record after record of all time highs on the Dow...
Guess your boss never got your memo about that "3 letter word": J-O-B-S...idiot!
Two words for you Joe: "Bite Me"...


The only hope for America is to elect true conservatives of good character - regardless of party or label.


Well, let's see. The Dems were in control of the Congress for the last two years of the Bush Administration, and we can thank Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for the real estate meltdown. They've been in charge for the last 19 months and the deficit is numbers we can't comprehend, debt is numbers larger than that, unemployment is in double digits (don't believe that 9.5% crap they're giving us, it doesn't include people who no longer qualify or who have just flat out given up). Foreclosures are through the roof, home values are down. GM is failing (note please that Ford is doing really well and they DIDN'T take the government stimulus), doctors are refusing Medicare patients because they aren't getting paid, the stock market is headed south, illegal (note please that illegal means AGAINST THE LAW) immigrants are ruining the economy of many of the states....but we're headed in the right direction? Mr. Biden, I suggest you take your head out of your shoes and go buy a new compass because you have no idea what the right direction is if you think we're headed there right now. Slow recovery? Not going as fast as you'd like? It's not going anywhere. There is no recovery. You are a moron and a liar.


Hey Joe, most of us have money invested and want Wall Street to do well. Stop the B.S. "I'm playing to Main St." pitch. It's getting tired and you should be supporting business, not bashing it.


Muslim,taxes,no jobs,blame everyone,give money to everyone,falling housing market,911 temples,oil in the ocean,lots of vacations,birth certificate, and on and on..... Enough! Your out of here very soon. Elections are good for something.


OBAMA = One Big Ass Mistake America


"failed economic policies of the Bush administration." Does Joe really think we're that stupid? For arguments sake, let's blame Bush. Why the hell is this administration doing the same damn thing, but exponentially?


Bush Texan....

Well, now, HHH/Rob, IF I were to take a 21mm socket and remove the Goodyears on my Sebring, slice up those four Goodyears into bite-size morsels, cook them in bacon grease for three days, add some A-1 steak sauce, some pepper, a whole lot of salt, then possibly me, or my dog, may consider this to be a fine dining experience. It’s all in how you prepare it, I have so been told. There is NO way that there has been ANY good that has come from the socialists that run the democrat party over the last 20 months.


Django was actually trying to channel Bill O’Reilly when Dj gave them only 50.1% of the blame. Isn’t it a great piece of political theater when Laura Ingraham or Glenn Beck are arguing with Bill O’Reilly and O’Reilly thinks that he is showing “fair and balanced” by obstinately NOT seeing the light of the LI / GB argument? That Laura Ingraham. That Glenn Beck. I was obviously trying to be like O’Reilly.


Now, allow me to unchannel O’Reilly~ The Socialists and Marxists of the democrat party are 99% RESPONSIBLE for this disaster movie. The goal should be to put something favorable in place for a business to be a business, so that they will have a REASON to expand, to do what they are in a LEGAL practice to do, to project a NEED to HIRE somebody, to put CAPITAL AT RISK with a reasonable expectation that it will earn a RETURN ON INVESTMENT in a REASONABLE time frame, to be an ON-GOING entity.


Dude, I can’t teach you Leftists Economics 101 and 102 in a damn swamp. You need to locate a bookstore somewhere and try to understand what it is that makes folks fall out of bed 5 days a week at the ungodly hour of 4 am. and 5 a.m., to go somewhere strange that isn’t always a nice bed of roses.


IF the damn Socialists of the damn democrat party did NOTHING at all, this recession would eventually come to an end, but they are too IDEOLOGICALLY driven to even just let it be and allow it to correct itself. The Socialist democrats ARE 99% responsible for this disaster movie.


If there were no Texas, there would be a deep 20 month and counting, 49 state recession. Give ye up ALL “hope” at that point. This is the “transformative hope and change” that the job-killing democrat party has imposed on America. I am not amused.



Biden, TAX CUTS arent supposed to cost anything...its our money...stop spending it!!!


All economic indicators are getting worse and he says we are going in the right direction. Biden is delusional and he should seek professional help.

Joe, what tune will you be singing when we come to take your pension away?


If by "moving in the right direction" you mean off the radar screen and into oblivian I would agree.

You can rely on Joe Bit Me to say the right thing.


He is delirious, nothing but a talking head with a recording mounted on the back. Same talking points for all those democrats.


Biden is not as good as Bill Clinton and Obama at telling the big lie...But He is really great comic relief.


Socialism has never worked before, but it just may work this time... Shall we try once again for the Nobel Peace prize whiner?


Biden and Obama are traitors to this country. He believes that socialism, the path to his permanent position is the proper place to be. Time for him and the president to be fired, get your crap in a box. You've got your 2 weeks you worthless bastard.


Hey Mr. Biden, you must have forgotten, your dumbocrat party ran the House and Senate for two years before you and Barry Obama hijacked the White House. So that means your socialist party has been running the country for nearly 4 years!!


Wow!
Doesn't this JOKE ever get tired of looking like a total dipsh!7 ???

I am SO read for November!


Hey Mr. Biden, you make excuses like your socialist boss. How about stop talking and start taking some positive action? After two years and nothing but more debt to show for it. It is time to admit defeat and you and Barry resign.


Looked up moron in the dictionary, it has an alternate spelling, "Biden".


You're right Joe - we've seen this horror flick before. It was called The Carter Administration - one screening was enough to last for years. Unfortunately this sequel is much worse than the original...


The old 'tax cuts for the rich' is a nice, simple, little chant that morons can remember, if they write it on the back of their hands.

According to Obama's White House Budget, Bush's tax cuts for the rich out preformed Clintons in generating federal tax revenue. Personal income tax revenue rose 34.55% and Corporate income tax revenue rose 42.78% compared to Clinton.

If you look at the National Debt Democrats created $9.84 trillion and Republicans created $3.92 trillion. Democrats also created a $107 trillion in unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and Mediaid, and Obama has committed us to an added $9.7 trillion in taxpayer debt.

Look at every state, and major city owned by Democrats. They are broke.

Listening to Democrats complain about Republican economic policy is like listening to germ complain about disease.


Why doesn't someone ask Biden who was in control of Congress the last two years of the Bush presidency?? That would shut him up real fast. It was the dems in control of Congress, ALL of Congress. Congress either says "yay" or "nay" to every penny spent and every law. And now, the economy is at it's worst ever, since the dems have taken control of the White House and Congress. That's a fact!!!


Here's a real stimulus plan. Read carefully and check this out for yourself.
A loan originator, predatory lender, bank, etc... made you a loan for your house. Just before the ink was dry, they've already sold it to a servicer or brokered it to Wall Street. Servicers run what's called "bankrupt remote" organizations, or they exist on their own, but these organizations always take the loan from the lender and package them, with several thousand other loans, and "securitize" them with Wall Street. What this means is, the Banks "SOLD" the loans with the deeds (for cash technically), to Wall Street investment portfolios. Legally, this rout creates cash back (liquidity) for the banks to loan more money and we have a booming economy. It's a good thing for the economy, but not if there are fraudulent loan companies. Recorded as a "True Sale" to Wall Street, the lenders no longer own the note; they can't legally foreclose if they don't own the note. It's called Beneficial Interest, the banks will replace the word lender with Investor. Lenders usually keep the note, (the old days) but investor means it's SOLD and lost to the lender; look up MERS Mortgage Electronic Registration System. Okay, now that you have this real situation in your head, lets add some more crap, and then the stimulus plan.
Defaults by borrowers on their notes triggered a payoff by AIG, the insurance company with a paid up policies by Wall Street investors to guarantee your payments from default. Get it? So far the banks were paid by the investors, and the deed moves up the chain, then AIG pays off on the defaults to investors. Say TARP Troubled Asset Relief Program. We know that TARP paid AIG off for the defaulting loans, and TARP is TAX Payer dollars! Technically we taxpayers own the homes. So my plan is, we don't pay back TARP through our Taxes, just give us our house back. Obama wants to redistribute wealth to the middle class, so here's his chance. No One lost money on our homes except we little home owners.
The next Fraud you will come to see is in the FORECLOSURE. If the Banks don't own the notes, how can they possibly foreclose on a home? There are about 62 million homes in this situation. It's out there, look it up. Some smart lawyers are figuring out that the banks can't prove beneficial interest. The Substitute Trustee (usually the foreclosure lawyer) tries to show up in court, on behalf of the "lender" who gave the lawyer power to sue you with foreclosure sale, but they don't have the note with all the signatures and assignments, notarized, and recorded to prove they have standing in the home. Can you say FRAUD? Many foreclosures in some courts are getting thrown out by judges who are tired of the crap. Some are throwing them out with prejudice, meaning "don't come back" and they give the home to the borrower. Some judges are telling the lawyers/banks to get out, stopping the foreclosure and please come back when you have the note. These people just stay in their homes without paying a mortgage. Look it up, it's for real!
Banks are trying to use blank endorsements (fraud) given to them by the loan originators early on, so they can pull out these blank endorsements when we default. The endorsement is supposed to prove a chain of title to the house, except they already sold it. They (banks) want to grab the house back to try and re-instate their accounting in the home, so they can resell it, securitize it, profit on it, and do the whole thing all over again.
STIMULUS: Since TARP paid off the defaults, we should just let the homes stay with the owners free and clear. The IRS will want the "gift" tax, but gee whiz, that's cheap. At that point, we need to take out a loan on our homes, with piles of equity, to pay off the IRS. Money starts moving again, we get our jobs back, home inventories are instantly gone, building starts come back, etc...
Cheers!!!


Let me say that Joe bite me is one of the dumbest people on this Earth, and I have no idea how he has gotten as far as he has; must be a classic case of, " not what you know...".
Let me give all of you here a simple lesson in physics, not that you need it, but to simply pass on. It is called the Economic Law of the Universe.
Anything in the universe MUST
obey this law, it applies to all things Newtonian, and then after that it applies also to the mmetaphysic and the allegorical.
The law simply states; 'Where ever the time , materials, and coincedences are right for matter to occur in the universe, then matter will occur there.'
This means that anywhere in the universe, the pieces are there for matter to occur, then it will happen. Once you understand this LAW, then you can replace the word matter, for any word you like;
water, cities, good govt., war, girraffes, insects, love, hate, business, retail, money, economic growth, etc. Consequently, because of this law, 2 more laws can be written.
the 2nd law then states, that you do not need extra anything, no more ingredients needed; just enough, and boom!;; matter will occur there.
Thus the 3rd law states that,
' if you take away any of the materials, timing or circumstances, then matter will not occur.
Democrats just do not understand any of these laws, since most of them have never worked in the private sector, and that last one, just really makes them scratch their head.
So let me ' splain ' it to you Dems, if you make it harder for Economics, business, money , tax revenue to occur, because you put more onerous regulations and taxes on businesses, then economics, business, tax revenue will not occur.'
See?... get it?


Joe I got news for you.
WE ARE BROKE.


We can see that it really doesn't matter what party is in office. The global elites are very good at watching what ever puppet is in DC. What most people don't know is the government is the tool of the globalists for the financial raping of countries. Your SS# is the bank of which the future profits are extracted. However, with barry soetero hooked up to the string pullers
he really fulfills the liar-in-chief title quite well.


You stole my thunder, Independent Thinker. I'm also nostalgic for the Bush years, when my wife and I were able to buy our first home, when we were able to buy a new car, had good paying jobs and were able to take a vacation now and then (but not like Obama who seems to take a vacation every other week). Since 2009, we have lost our jobs and we are barely able to pay our mortage which is only $1,400 a month. We are draining our savings. Life in America was better before the Democrats took over Congress in 2007 and it was a hell of a lot better better before Obozo/Biden came along and gave us $1.6 trillion in debt.


It doesn't matter who you elect to office. The US government needs to lower wages/taxes/standards of living in order to create a competitive environment. Welcome to the answer for off-shoring jobs. Don't get caught up in the little things... Look at the big picture and stop being ignorant.


Guy's a chump. And a stupid one to boot!!!


November. We can stop this. November. We can change the tide. November. We can act responsibly. November. We can have our voices heard.

Create jobs. Exercise fiscal responsibility. Reward hard work and ingenuity. Reject socialism. VOTE these morons out of power.


Who let Crazy Joe out of the attic?


When they were drilling the holes for the hir plugs they mut have let what was left of Joe's brain out. He is a total fool. Both Joe and Barry O opposed the surge and now take credit for it and than hands off dont manage it. When it goes south because of their neglect they will blame bush


Dear friends
Who pays all the taxes in the USA?
The working man and it doesn't matter which income bracket you are in.
We pay them at the Check Out every time we purchase anything.
There is a 23% cost in every item at the check out for the cost of doing business in the USA.
The fair tax is the way to go. No more filling taxes. Everyone pays even those here illegally and the drug dealers get to pay too. how novel.
With a 23% sales tax which pays for even SSI and Medicare we would have more revenue to pay our bills. everyone gets a pre-rebate at the first of every month to off set yours taxes so you can use it anyway you want to but when that specific amount is gone you are on your own. the good news is the illegals will not get a pre-rebate so they will have to pay the full 23% for everything they purchase. WQe3 can even work for cash because there is no more INCOME TAX. Oh! I know our leaders won't like that no more control and lying every election year about who is going raise or lower our taxes.
Than comes the PRICE WAR since there is already 23% hidden cost of doing business in the USA in every item sold, the Businesses will begin to cut prices like in a Gas War K-mart knocks off 5% on a TV and Wal-Mart knocks off 7% and Sears knocks off 10% and and so on and so on we go the commodities War is on.
Another Good thing is it is only on NEW ITEMS I love to shop at garage sales and flea markets so we can really decide how much tax we want to send to Washington.
Never heard of Fair Tax go to Google Fair Tax and Read for yourself.
Now what i want to know is are Americans too slow in understanding that they believe something is FREE. My daddy always told me you don't get anything for nothing. Who is going to pay fpr all these so called free bees ? Right the Consumer the Working Man and it doesn't matter which income bracket your in.
Lets quit using this class envy and start using good common sense.
Oh! by the way my income has gone down since I retired so my wife and I are charging up our kids future. LOL That is what our leaders in Washington have done lets hold there feet to the fire this Fall. Henry


Biden has two jobs.
1-Walk the 1st dog and picking up its poop.
2- Make sure the tarp money was not wasted.
He has poop on his fingers so he has the dog walking down.


Looks like the Koch Bros. have hired on a whole slew of scriviners. Roxanne/LillyMae/Gertrude whatever, the pseudonyms are coming out of the Hurricane Name Index on this particular day.


So, here's back atcha:


Kochs and their pals, upper 1 % in income, own about 80% of all assets, a/k/a wealth.


They need to be taxed at a much higher marginal rate. And that's what their financing of the Teabag brigades is all about.

Bush tax cuts for wealthy are about to expire, and won't be back for quite a while. Next up: higher capital gains tax rates and higher marginal rates on Scaife, Olin, the Koch Bros., etc.

Teabag is just a front for Koch, Olin, Mellon Scaife and their pals. Pure self interest. Hired provocateurs, nothing more. It's all about fending off the coming tax increases. Actually, I'm surprised Barack didn't raise their taxes as one of the first orders of business. He should have.


That "Dems have been in power since..." dog won't hunt.

Dems have had majority in Congress only since Jan 2007.

Barack was inaugurated Jan 20, 2009, 19 months ago.

Reps had congress for 12 years before that, and Bush/Cheney 2001 to 2009.

They are responsible for the depression, not the Dems.


Biden has two jobs.
1-Walk the 1st dog and picking up its poop.
2- Make sure the tarp money was not wasted.
He has poop on his fingers so he has the dog walking down.


I find it incredible that the measure of Obama's success is to say, it could of been worst. Any administration throughout history could of said, it could of been worst if it wasn't for their policies. That is like a basketball coach who just had his team blown out by 40 points say it could of been worst if it wasn't for his coaching.


Folks, wake up! It isn't either political party, it is both political parties and their career politicians. CLEAN HOUSE . . . AND THE SENATE. GET RID OF ALL INCUMBENTS.


When in doubt, blame Bush. Hey, at least they stopped blaming Reagan.


Biden sucks and is a friggin liar.

Obama is unqualified to be president.

Our economy sucks and as long as we have inept socialists in gov't we are screwed.

I hate Dems


The only jobs we've been getting from Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer and the OhBummer Wrecking Crew are hand jobs. They've been jerking us off and blowing smoke up our whizbangs since before they took office.


Here we go again with the same old mantra.. how the Bush tax cuts weren't paid for, or increased the deficit. How stupid can some people be?

That line of thinking only works if you believe that all the money is the government's to begin with, and thus you have to pay the Government back for lowering the tax rates on individuals and business. But it isn't Government's money at all -- income belongs to the people who work and provide a service for a wage. When individuals and families have a larger percentage of their own income to spend as they choose, they will make the best decisions for themselves. And then, once the basic needs of the family are met, and if they have disposable income left over, they will return some of that income back into the economy by purchasing goods and services from others, starting or expanding business, etc.

Every day, men and women all over American make tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of transactions, in our economy. Far too many than a centralized government could ever manage.

Note.. our Government could not organize a piss-up in a brewery, but I digress.

For almost every transaction made in America the Federal and State Governments take a percentage. In a sane world, Government would budget current and future expenditures not to exceed rational income expectations of the budgeting period.

So when an economy is growing, and people are working, there are more and more transactions made every day from which Government receives their revenue. A growing economy = growing revenue to Government.

Thus, there is no need to "pay" for a tax cut because as we've seen in the 20s, 50s, 60s, 80s, and 00s, when tax rates have decreased, revenue to the US Treasury has increased. Coincidence? I think not.

On the flip side, look at the states with the largest budget deficits. These are states with some of the most punitive taxes in the nation. Following the "logic" of economists like Paul Krugman and other Keynesian supporters, higher tax rates, and more government spending will drive the economy forward. Yet there is no empirical evidence to show that any society has ever taxed and spent its way to prosperity. None. Not a single example. Remember Rome? Nero?

Yet Biden, and others from his side of the aisle, along with a number of useless RINOs, prefer to play politics by pitting groups against each other instead of actually solving a problem.

Note #2: have you ever taken a look at how poorly many members of Congress have done in the private sector over the years? Based on the number of bankruptcies, failure to pay taxes, etc. I wouldn't give most of the a vote of confidence to run a lemonade stand.

The best thing Government can do is to provide a stable and consistent set of tax policies that are fair for individuals and businesses, and to ensure that tax rates not be confiscatory. Once those are in place, and business can predict where the economic winds in the U.S. will be blowing, and that they can conduct business without the fear of retribution or retaliation by Government because they don't like your particular line of business, and are assured that standard business practices such as bankruptcy, etc. will be followed (and not overturned by an Administration in favor of their political contributors) then the economic engine of the US will take off and right most of the problems that presently exist today.

People will have jobs, business will be able to expand, and we'll be able to restart the economic engine that is the US economy.

BTW, you can look up all the numbers yourself using published materials from the Congressional Budget Office.


A post by "Rob"
"Republican Economic Policy = Unfunded, Deficit Producing Tax Cuts For The Rich"

What is a Unfunded, Deficit Producing Tax Cut?

A) Please explain how a tax cut can produce a deficit

B) Please explain what a unfunded tax cut is.

I'm sure your long gone from this forum but I'm very interested to see if you have some way to explain that statement.


Sorry,Tex: You have to be accurate to score successful points.

The CBO estimates that the Iraq War has cost about $709 million - not a trillion dollars like Obama's failed stimulus package.

And, one can make a case that the CIA Director, Democrat George Tenet, was instrumental in persuading Bush that Iraq had WMD's.

As for the cause of the economic meltdown, that developed over time and was the fault of BOTH Republicans and Democrats.

The fact is that, despite what Biden says, America is not moving forward now.


Uncle Joe reminds me of Capt. Smith a little after twelve midnight, on April 15th 1912, just before retiring he said : "We are going in the right direction."


There once was a fellow named Joe

A Dem who liked other folk's dough

He'd spread it around

(Ah that Joe! What a clown)

He's gonna get voted out, though!


Hi. My name is Joe Biden! And I'm the VP of the Worst President in US History!


biden taking orders from obama liar to malign and lie about the real Americans that have had to put up with the last 4 years of democrat/obama/biden terrorism against America


Biden's hair plugs are eating into his already under-developed brain. "recovery summer" is a complete oxymoron propounded by two morons, one of which is now thankfully not ruining the economy further because he's messing up on Martha's Vineyard! Joe Biden continues to stretch our basic concept of just how stupid and ridiculous a politician can be---Dodo Joe makes me pine for Cheney, who at least didn't make me wince at his total empty-headed witlessness.


never a mention that like Cheney Biden is a FIVE time draft dodger/ who dies in Vietnam for Biden?

BIden's father Joe Biden, Sr evaded military service in WWII by working as a salesman for AMOCO oil company.

guess what that business later became? BP.

so Biden's daddy was a draft dodger and a BP employee!


We are on the right direction... so was the Titantic..
Right direction?? Between Joe Bite-me aand Nasty Nancy PelOUSY who has the worst botox job?


President Bush has more talent, more smarts, more know-how, more concern for America and Americans, more patriotism, more executive material, more common sense, more honesty, more morality, more level-headedness, more sincerity, more guts, more desire, more wisdom in his little pinky than joe or barack do combined! One need only listen to their words, watch their deeds and monitor the health of our country's economy, and despite what negatives you can conjure up about President Bush, they do not come close to comparing to the negatives of obama/biden in just the short time they have been in office. And let us not forget that the press made certain that we were reminded of Bush's every negative over and over again, while obama's negatives are off limits as far as the press is concerned. Just imagine for a moment if the press treated obama the same way they treated Bush. It is nearly impossible to imagine. Every possible obama negative has been buried, hidden or killed. Every Bush negative was proclaimed and exclaimed endlessly! With obama's negatives outpacing Bush's by at least 5 to 1 (and that is without ANY help from the press -- imagine the ratio if the press were unbiased?!?), obama would have a popularity rating of minus 10 if the press were even partially unbiased! He would seem to be the most evil person since Mao Tse-tung. And it would be the truth. But obama has been treated like the messiah he thinks he is -- yes, he really thinks he is something very special to the point that we are not fit to lay down in the mud so he can walk on us to keep from dirtying his shoes. What the press has done is without precedent! They took a truly caring, honest, hard working man and turned him into a demon in our eyes. They have taken a demon and made him appear to be the messiah! The most bass ackwards mess and frame-up in world history. The most unfair treatment of a president in America's history. And now when the bad things are TRUE about a president, the press' silence is truly deafening!! Just imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. Dems/libs would be screaming and crying foul and gnashing their teeth about the unfair treatment of their man. Welcome to the life of a conservative 365/24/7!! If the dems/libs did NOT own the press, their party would have died years ago. I would literally not exist today. It's the TRUTH and you know it! The ONLY thing that keeps the dems/libs from going under for their third and final time is that THE PRESS IS THERE 24/7 THROWING THEM LIFE PRESERVERS, MANNING THE LIFEBOATS, PILOTING THE RESCUE SHIPS AND COPTERS, with an endless supply of warm blankets, hot coffee and cocoa, along with dry clothes, new shoes and fully-lined jackets!! To the conservatives, they would throw an endless supply of anvils!!


Both the Democrats and the Republicans have sold the American People out in every way possible. If you aren't sick of this game then you haven't been paying attention!

Along with the UN, and Federal Reserve the Two party "system" has got to go!!!!!


Remain calm! All is well! LOL! Way to go Joe. You're always good for a laugh.


PUKE to the point of being RETARDED! If he told you to cross the road for him would you! This man is garbage and uses the stupid for his own gains!! They have one agenda and that is to have two classes of people in this country, the Rich and the Poor and no middle class!! Do you see you house values going down and do you see unemployment going down and the Government Growing! That is what they call Communism!! Thank the Democrats because you will all be eating out of Garbage cans soon!!


The comments here are eyeopening: Like it or not the rich hire people and create jobs...Who has taught you that you shouldn't like it?


I am really drawn back by the class envy we have in the US today. What is wrong with you? Don't you know that Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie ( yes Carnegie Hall), JP Morgan, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Teslor, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, even Warren Buffet are all rich, rich men, or were. Would you really want to kill their efforts?


Really. You would have killed millions of jobs and billions of dollars that were generated and benefited everyone in the US. That's what happens under socialism. There is no incentive to succeed. I know the media loves the idea, because they are so mediocre. Lazy, fat reporters that don't give a darn.


Joey
Right direction? Home sales down, job losses increasing, consumer confidence dropping. I guess your boss Stinky (BO) has an approval rating going in the right direction too.
By the way Joe....Bite me


President Bush has more talent, more smarts, more know-how, more concern for America and Americans, more patriotism, more executive material, more common sense, more honesty, more morality, more level-headedness, more sincerity, more guts, more desire, more wisdom in his little pinky than joe or barack do combined!

And let us not forget that the press made certain that we were reminded of Bush's every negative over and over again, while obama's negatives are off limits as far as the press is concerned. Just imagine for a moment if the press treated obama the same way they treated Bush. It is nearly impossible to imagine. Every possible obama negative has been buried, hidden or killed. Every Bush negative was proclaimed and exclaimed endlessly! With obama's negatives outpacing Bush's by at least 5 to 1 (and that is without ANY help from the press -- imagine the ratio if the press were unbiased?!?), obama would have a popularity rating of minus 10 if the press were even partially unbiased! He would seem to be the most evil person since Mao Tse-tung. And it would be the truth. But obama has been treated like the messiah he thinks he is -- yes, he really thinks he is something very special to the point that we are not fit to lay down in the mud so he can walk on us to keep from dirtying his shoes. What the press has done is without precedent! They took a truly caring, honest, hard working man and turned him into a demon in our eyes. They have taken a demon and made him appear to be the messiah! The most bass ackwards mess and frame-up in world history. The most unfair treatment of a president in America's history. And now when the bad things are TRUE about a president, the press' silence is truly deafening!! Just imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. Dems/libs would be screaming and crying foul and gnashing their teeth about the unfair treatment of their man. Welcome to the life of a conservative 365/24/7!! If the dems/libs did NOT own the press, their party would have died years ago. I would literally not exist today. It's the TRUTH and you know it! The ONLY thing that keeps the dems/libs from going under for their third and final time is that THE PRESS IS THERE 24/7 THROWING THEM LIFE PRESERVERS, MANNING THE LIFEBOATS, PILOTING THE RESCUE SHIPS AND COPTERS, with an endless supply of warm blankets, hot coffee and cocoa, along with dry clothes, new shoes and fully-lined jackets!! To the conservatives, they would throw an endless supply of anvils!!


As many here have stated, the Democrats gained majority control of both the House and the Senate in the 2006 midterms - almost 2 years before the economy went belly up.
Go check out the youtube videos of Barney Frank and his democratic cohorts in congressional hearings on fannie mae, contemptuously accusing regulators of being racist - for the awful crime of pointing out the risks of a "loans for everyone" mentality which went against all rational lending practices, and which put fannie and freddie and the American taxpayer at risk.

It must feel very strange to be selected for a position of such great importance because you are such an incompetant bafoon.


Republicans across the country should just have a commercial showing Biden saying, "there's no doubt we're moving in the right direction."

Then, show the 80% who think that Biden and Obama are out of touch with reality.

The GOP wave is coming, folks. Obama and Biden and the rest of the Democrats will be stunned by its intensity.


Stand up Chuck! 69 days.


Hey Biden... the movie that you and your slick buddy obammer are starring in is a porno film... in this case decent hardworking Americans are getting screwed.

Quit being such a blowhard for a change.


The "failed economic policies of the Bush era" were the SAME THING as the economic policies of the Obama era, his are just on speed. We aren't being nostalgic about Bush, we're talking about the economic policies of Reagen.


Let's be realistic, Capitalism has failed.

We are now on the path to recovery with a Communist Light type govt and it will soon gain traction and we will soon flourish like China and Cuba.


Democrats have controlled House and Senate for nearly 4 years. These are the worst 4 years in America since the great Depression.


Now I know why I have never been Vice President. I am not a babbling fool. Dan Quayle, Al Gore and now Joe Biden all had the qualification of opening their mouths so that the stupidity could escape.


Funny, I thought we had a Democratic House for 4 years of Bush's administration, and a Democratic Senate for the last 2. Why do they not share some of the economic blame, Joe? And if it's so easy, why are your administration's policies NOT WORKING, Joe? In fact, things are unquestionably getting WORSE! The buck stops here, Joe - can't blame this on Bush anymore.


Joe "Gaff-a-minute" Biden, THE Village Idiot.


Joe,
Don't piss down my neck, and tell me its raining.


@John M....I'd say ALL 4 on your quiz!! Let's go November!!!


Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin wouldn't be better than this dope as VP is clearly insane.


@John M....I'd say ALL 4 on your quiz!! Let's go November!!!


@John M....I'd say ALL 4 on your quiz!! Let's go November!!!


This VP makes Sarah Palin look like an &%#$! Einstein!


There they go again....now they send the dumb VP out to beg for our confidence and support....They MUST be truly desperate.


"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, this wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time. [Michael: We'll get there, pop. We'll get there.]"

It looks like they're there~


The man has the IQ of a sedimentary Rock!


The Sage of Delaware seems to have crystalized the worry that Botox robs the brain of critical thinking capabilities.

From some of the other brain dead comments posted here it's evident that the Botox use hasn't been limited to inside the Inner and Outer Loops.

November is coming soon. Dems are history. Thank God.


This is wild. America is more awake than I could have imagined.


Vice President Biden, you need to see THIS movie.


Excuse me Mr. VP, but what planet are you living on??


Hey Rob, get a job you freakin moron. Hey Rob, who controlled congress in the last 2 yrs of the bush admin. Hey Rob, what was the unemployment rate. Hey Rob did you give back your rebate you got. I bet not you ass !!!!!


Slow Joe Biden a.k.a. Curly Biden as in (Curly, Larry and Moe) is a boob of Homeric proportions. Silence this idiot. We've heard enough of the lies. Change the Congress in November and start repealing all this crap the Dems have put in place over the last two years. Let American business lead the recovery. Time to re-read your history on the Great Depression and know that Government did NOTHING then and they are doing nothing NOW but mucking it all up. http://fee.org/articles/great-myths-of-the-great-depression/.

BAM and the Dems are killing the golden goose of the American economic engine - gotta take the keys away from this bunch before they crash the car and kill us all (economically speaking).


You BET I'm nostalgic! I'm nostalgic for the house I used to own, my husband being employed, and money in our savings account. Gee, how silly of me to think I was SO much better off then. I had no idea that the "new" American Dream was to live in an apartment, be unemployed and penniless! Welcome to Obama's meaning of "change"!


Watching the antics of the neoCommunist junta in Washington DC these days, one might as well be watching an episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE!
Why in the world would the REGIME send out someone with as little credibility as Joe Bite.me to attack a President who is long gone? Dems took over Congress in Jan 2007 and the USA has been going downhill ever since. As independent thinker said earlier, I would gladly take the pre-Democrat Congress Bush days back in an instant. Home worth much more, unemployment 4.7 % and I had work.


It the right's fault, not it's the left's fault... Oh wait they both suck. Congress is a group of treasonous criminals and the media is complicit. It's a shame that so many Americans are little sheeple and vote for whatever name they hear the most on the useless TV rather than think for one minute. Stop asking the government to create jobs for us, unless you want to end up like Greece. Trust me, it can happen. Our economy is a shell and this IS a depression. We were in the eye of the storm so brace yourselves, for the worst has yet to come. Now everyone attack me for being a conspiracy theorist like Keith Olberman would do. If you listen to idiots like him, you are part of the problem. Do us all a favor and move to Greece!


Joe needs to go! We are not headed in the right direction. The economy is sinking like the Titanic. Unemployment continues to soar. The Tarp funds were kick-backs and bribes to the unions and the democrats have legislated us into trillions more debt that is unsustainable. The health-care fiasco will kill millions of senior citizens as these "demon"crats deny coverage to them and claim it was all in the legislation. The bailouts of the banks did not resolve what the demo"rats" created in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and it will take trillions more to keep these crooks afloat. So Joe, "say it ain't so" - stop your duplicity and resing before we vote you into permanent unemployment. All the democrats want is to raise taxes on everybody and spend more money irresponsibly. Joe Biden is not our friend and "we the people" must rise up and tell all these hypocrites to get out of town and do not come back.


"Don't be afraid to see what you see" Ronald Reagan. Joe, you are full of sh*t, and if you really believe what you are saying, you are unfit to be VP.


Joe, I knew you would not let us down. Earlier today I predicted you would wake up from a mult-months long slumber and like the blitering idiot you are tell us all is well.

YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY JOE.

Where are the jobs?

Why are you still spending us into deficit?

Now that you have bailed out your rich buddies on Wall Street and the Banks when might you do something for regular Americans?


O'Biden's "SUMMER of RECOVERY" is soon to be followed by Obama's "FALL of ECONOMIC GROWTH".


Rob, please explain your claim of "unfunded tax cuts for the rich". All tax money belongs to the CITIZENS of the United States, until the Government takes it. A tax cut means I keep more of MY money, not the Governments money, MY MONEY.
You can't collect enough taxes to get us out of the current mess. It is not possible. Perhaps the DEMS should cut SPENDING, just like my family has to do when income is less than expenses. More taxes ain't the answer; reduced spending IS.


Republican Patriotism was abandoned when McCain lost

They oppose everything President Obama does, including things they wanted to do when Bush was President.

With BP, they took the side of the leaking company over the US President, and apologized to it for getting our sand all over it's oil.

They say that President Obama did a 'hit job' on Toyota for exposing Toyota's coverup of it's brake problems - here another company kills Americans through negligence and the Republicans want President Obama to allow business as usual = keep selling deadly cars.

Meanwhile, Japan, Korea, Germany, and China (set to start selling cars here next year) heavily subsidize their auto makers, enabling them to take over big parts of the US market - but when President Obama fights fire with fire Republicans hoot "socialism" and say they will buy BMWs with their tax cuts rather than GM.

Look at all the Republicans crying "socialism" while driving their BMWs - hey German auto-workers get free medical care, free education, 6 weeks of vacation, all mandated by their government - things Tea Partiers would fall quivering into a incoherently sputtering heap if the UAW asked for, apparently "socialists" can make great cars & its ok for foreign workers to get free medical and retirement, so long as they are not Americans

Next we saw the Republicans leader Steele say that now that Obama is President, it's time to call the war started after 9/11, with the goal of getting and punishing the perps "Obama's war".

Now we see Republicans leaders like Coulter openly taking the side of the Taleban, falling right into the Taleban and Islamic Fundamentalist propaganda trap in the process - they failed to get Osama, stop Al Qaeda, and defeat the Taleban when they were in office, and now they just want to go and forget the whole thing.

Sheesh, if the current Republicans had been around in WWII, no doubt they would have been apologizing to the Japanese for letting our ships get in the way of their bombs!

The Republican Party is clearly the most anti-American party that exists in America, it's no wonder the Tea Partiers want to start their own thing...

Our economy crashed because of skyrocketing fuel prices driven by OPEC - while our 'leader' preached blind faith in tax cuts and the free market, OPEC drove up the price of oil from $10 a barrel in 1999 to $140 in 2008, while republicans did nothing but argue over drilling what little oil we have left faster - as if with 3% of world reserves drilling was any answer to our energy issues. Meanwhile, efficiency and alternatives languished, putting us a the mercy of states that hate us, a slow motion Pearl Harbor the Republican's STILL don't see happening - while the Suadi's and other OPEC nations pour hundreds of millions into funding Islamic Terror to attack us!

Our best weapons against this are alternatives and increasing efficiency - these 'smart weapons' don't kill civilians, but they do clamp down hard on the terrorists funding sources - Saudi's facing the choice between a luxurious lifestyle and funding terror will choose luxury.

President Obama has been quietly leading the charge in this area, with shots like the Tesla Loan, Cash for Clunkers, and making sure GM will release the 230 MPG Chevy Volt - one of our very best counterattacks striking directly at Islamic Terror and the Islamic fundamentalists who attack us.

Meanwhile, Republicans try to show their 'patriotism' by yelling about mosque building in New York and pasting American flags on their 10 MPG 'grocery haulers'. Clearly Republicans are not Patriots- they care only about their personal bottom lines, and only take a stand when it won't cost them anything, and in the case of the NY Mosque, won't do a thing to hurt Al Qaeda - who is just laughing at us for focusing on this rather than on cutting their funding sources...


Joe,

We no longer care what Bush did or how you compare to him. We are worried about our families, our jobs, and the state of our country.

PLEASE tell us how YOUR programs are doing and any changes you are making in response to adversity. Can you please speak once without blaming President Bush? Do you feel you have any accountability to the country?

Are you really going to let the tax cuts expire for small business owners? Can you not think of a faster way to kill off the last of the green shoots?


Wow, we're moving in the right direction, Joe?

How did someone with an IQ lower than room temperature get the VP spot? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Right direction?

1) Economy tanking.
2) Unemployment rising.
3) Wages stagnating.
4) Taxes rising.

Just wtF do you think is GOOD about the direction we're headed, JOE?

If he's serious, he needs to be brought up on treason charges, this scumbag.


FACTS TO PROVE BIDEN IS A BALD FACE LIAR LIKE HIS INCOMPETANT LYING BOSS:

Incomes for families have dropped 3.2% since Obama came into office.

Under Bush, incomes of families dropped 0.4% during his first 15 months, but increased to 12.7% in Bush's 8 years of office.

Obama campaigned - "American families since George Bush has been in office, have seen average family incomes go down $2,000," Obama stated in a September 2008 speech on the economy in Green Bay, Wis. Yet, again, Obama lied.

On, January 3, 2007 the day Congress was taken over by the Depressioncrats as a result of the November 2006 election, the DOW had reached 12,621 and the GDP hit 3.5% and the U3 unemployment was 4.6% thanks to Bush.

Since that day, the Reid/Pelosi lead Depressioncrat Congress has destroyed our economy and our country and like Biden, they lie, lie, lie, lie every day blaming our situation on Bush's 8 years. The true facts are otherwise my fellow Americans.

Under Bush, my company had 135 employees. Under Pelosi/Reid/Obama, I now have 9. That and these facts should tell you all you need to understand. Grab your torch and pitch fork and meet me on November 2.

The only thing Joe Biden has a clear vision of is his colon!


Posted by Rob:
"Republican Economic Policy = Unfunded, Deficit Producing Tax Cuts For The Rich".


Rob, try going to your employer and tell them that you need a bigger paycheck -not because you deserve it, but because you maxed-out your credit cards. That's what congress is doing to the taxpayer.


Saying that a tax-cut isn't funded proposes that the federal budget is pre-spent and whatever it takes to raise the funds, after the fact, is justified.


Insanity!


The reason the economy fell apart is Washington's insistance on redistributing wealth. Congress has power of the purse, they have no money in that purse unless they take it away from people who WORK, pay taxes, employ others, make something others wish to buy. What happened is NOT a democratic or republican issue, it is about POLITICIANS who have never generated wealth pitting race and class against one another for their own personal gain and redistribution of people's hard work to retain and gain power.

Capitalism fails EVERY time a politician injects themselves into business in the name of equality. We have bail outs because WASHINGTON thinks everyone should own a home and have credit and pushed the banks to provid it, Clinton pushed the Tech market and it was nothing but a BS money game that pushed us into a recession, now we have healthcare for ALL, paid in full by a few, who chose to make good decisions. IT WILL BLOW up the NUMBERS don't work and it REWARDS people who choose to do less and bails out UNIONS that made promisses they can't keep and punishes those that do more. POLITICIANS and UNIONS are scum, ALL OF THEM and that is what you have to understand. TERM LIMTS are the only ANSWER, 2 rounds of golf and your gone.

Most Americans have a 401K and pay 20 - 30% of their healthcare, this is the group that pay the taxes in this country. Who doesn't? Politicians, government employees and unions and they are the ones that are consistantly after the average AMerican, redefining wealth and running up tabs they can't pay.

Look at Biden his MOTHER gave him everything he has ... what a joke of a human.


Well, I'm glad to see the end of "partisan politics" that O promised.

/sarcasm


Car salesman indeed...


Yes, Joe, we HAVE seen this movie before. As I recall, it came out about the same time as the original Star Wars: 1977 or so? It was called "Mr. Carter Goes to Washington", and boy, was it a bomb.


Yes, we have seen this movie before: Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan!


Why is it lost on the Dems that they were running congress when the ship stated taking on water and that it was their policies, i.e. the loose money housing bubble that resulted in its actual sinking.

Would any sane person actually take financial advice from Joe (duh, this is f'n big) Biden? Everyone knows he hasn't had an original idea dating back to his college paper writing days.


Do you Libs know how really dumb you sound. Bush was for the rich!!! Tax cuts for the rich!!! What did he do for the middle class??? Now you say you want to let the tax cuts for the "rich" to expire and keep the "middle" class tax cuts in place. Don't you see how dumb that sounds. I thought Bush only gave tax cuts to the "rich?" Bush gave nothing to the workers the Libs have been crying for years. How can the tax cuts for the middle class stay when you Libs say he never gave any? DUH!!!


As I read somewhere else, "the Inspector Clouseau" of the White House speaks again!


Here we go again - "Whose money is it anyway?" Quit whining about tax cuts for the wealthy - go create your own opportunities..... quit being a leach, and add some value.


Why aren't Bankers & Pols associated with sub-prime mortgages in JAIL!!!

Why is Fannie & Freddie still in existence???


What a moron. He is correct in that things are moving in the right direction, if you like more Government Control of Everthing, High Unemployment, and Socialistic Programs to make sure everyone is under their thumb. Fact is, we are being ruled by one party that knows EXACTLY where they are taking us, and it is where they want US to be. And its not just the democrats who are taking us there, there are some in the GOP who are in on this too. For your Children's sake, VOTE THEM OUT in November, so we can stop this dead in its tracks.


I wonder if all of you moroons are potty-trained. I hope so. You sure now how to throw that kid s**t around, making absolutely no sense, but that's the point. Just smear and scare and you're failing in that department, as well!! Keep up, the incompetent posts, they sure show America what cloned sheep look and think like!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.


Joe if you were headed in the right direction, you'd be packed, resigned and headed home.


Joe seems to forget that it is congress that has caused the problems, Presidents come and go but congress stays the same. Lets see who was in Congress spending our money, Obama, Biden, Snowe, Collins, McCain, Pelosi...


Right direction for certain defeat. Owebama and his economic Marxists will be sent scurrying back beneath the rocks from which they came. There's no defending this administration or their soft tyranny approach to controlling and redistribution hidden in policy. Owebama has screwed the economy, (you'll read about it in the history books). Hilarious that the sissy-mary Owebama supporters are STILL trying to pin this one on the evil Republicans and the diabolical Bush. Democrats did this to America, and to themselves. Good luck in November.


IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN AND YOU DONT NET 100,000 + A YEAR YOUR A F'N MORON. IF YOU HAVE A GOV JOB AND YOUR A REPUBLICAN YOU LIT SHOULD KILL YOURSELF. WAKE UP BOTH PARTYS ARE BS BUT DEM IS BETTER FOR THE POOR. (I WANT A THREE PARTY SYSTEM... I DREAM OF A TIMOCRACY"


If I remember right Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama were both in the senate when they say the Repubs were running the economy into the ground. Where were the warnings then (except for election drible)? However, we are where we are. How to fix the problem is the real question. The economy seems to be getting worse and Joe says we are moving in the right direction. The country needs jobs Joe. Just one last question: How can the Repubs block anything? You still have your Majorities Joe.


The only thing wrong with the Bush-Cheney administration was that they were too liberal. The dems think that the answer is even mroe socialism. Joe Biden is a consummate bafoon.


LOL, liberals are such morons! LOL. Thank you Hussein Obama for showing us how moronic you people really are. LOL, LOL.


Are Roger Morris and Don Fitzgerald sock puppets?


Term limits. Pre-election debates with ALL candidates. Full disclosure of campaign contributions. Mandatory voting by the electorate. Country service for scholarships. Stricter slander and libel standards for shock jocks of all stripes...

Just a few ideas to take the politics out of government. Too much hate. Not enough thought.


Yes I have seen the movie Armegeddon Joe; Thanks for giving America the heads up on where Obama's policies are leading us!!


Ahhh...those wacky, kooky liberals propagandists. If anyone thinks Don Fitzgerald (1st post) and Roger Morris (5th post) aren't the same DNC opperative sitting in a cube somewhare and paid to propagandize on the internet, I have a free subsciption to PRAVDA for you.


Mr. Biden is correct in his analysis, but he is refering to their political agenda,as opposed to the country.


TO: All
RE: You People....


....calling VP Biden "moron", "bumblef.k", "village idiot", etc., etc., etc.


Have never really studied what we in the Army call Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB). It's a methodology that helps US try to figure out what the enemy is doing when they don't want US to know it.


If you had studied such, you'd recognize a distinct pattern of behavior on the part of Biden, Obama, Pelosi and Reid. A pattern that points to a specific goal.


Three guesses as to what that goal is. First two don't count.


No. These people are not 'stupid'. The REALLY 'stupid' people are the useful fools who put them in power. [Note: And I thank the vaunted American public education system for turning out such 'stupid' people.]

Regards,


Chuck(le)
[Stupid, adj., Ignorant and proud of it.]


Nostalgic? You mean the good old days when home values were increasing? The good old days when unemployment was at 5.5%? The good old days when we could have some confidence that our children might be able to work for a better standard of living than we enjoyed? THOSE good old days? Yeah .. that would really suck, joe.


Yes, according to the plans set up by Uncle George Soros and enacted by Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, the UN, and the Democrat foot soldiers, we ARE going in the right direction. That is, the destruction of free enterprise, the Constitution and all of the freedoms we enjoy in America. These worms must be stopped in November or we are destined to be a repeat of the Iron Curtain countries.


Is Biden related to Baghdad Bob ? Say it and it's so !!! The people are too stupid to see for themselves.
Tell everyone it's Bushes fault while the dems ruled the purse strings for FOUR years now, the folks won't see that the dems are running the U,S, into the ground and do every time they have control. I'll take Bush ANY day over this bunch of goons in control.Please, Please Nov. come soon. They all remind me of the keystone cops.


"We're moving in the right direction."
What direction is that Joe, hell?


Yep Joe, a tax cut that cuts the income tax rate for the poorest citizens from 18% to 10% and 28% to 15% for the lower middle class is a tax cut that only benefitted the rich. Yeah!!!!! I'll remember that one.


Failed economic policies of the Bush administration? That's a laugh. What about the failed economic policies of the now defunct Soviet Union, which ruined that country and which the Obama administration has been working furiously to inpliment here... like Clinton before him.


Democrats controlled Congress since 2006.

Barney Frank has said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should were solid and blocked any effort to regulate them when it was necessary.

Obama care was going to lower costs. Now the CBO says it is going to raise costs.

Unless we pass the stimulus unemployment is going to go above 8.5%

Yes, it is all the Repubs and fault. Even though Democrats have controlled Congress FOR 4 YEARS!!!!


Can we please stop? I've had it that our leaders do nothing but blame each other and blow smoke up our backsides.

Nothing is being done to improve our nation except for "We're going to... and we're going to..."

WHEN????


Correct me if I am worn but didn't the Dems run the House and Senate during the Bush years? Didn't they refuse to regulate Fanny and Freddy against Republican suggestion? Didn't they enact the Fair Housing laws that allowed people that couldn't afford loans to get into houses? Didn't they hold the Majority when they voted for both wars? The President is the Executive Branch. The House and Senate make the laws. The only way the President can screw things up is if his party controls it all. Hmmmmm


C'mon Joe - are you ignorant? YES!

Obama and his supporters are akin to the 9/11 terrorists - they want to fly the nation, just not land it safely!

Think about it!


The "failed" economic policies under Bush were approved by the Democrat run House and Senate...


You LIE!


Letterman Knocks Obama For Latest Vacation

T-shirts reading ‘I vacationed with Obama, Martha’s Vineyard ’10′ are displayed at a store in Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, on August 24, 2010. The First Family is vacationing on the island until August 29. (credit: JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)

From jcap17

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) — A storm that curtailed outdoor activities for much of President Barack Obama’s vacation was forecast to end Wednesday, but he said he’s been able to fight off cabin fever.

Not only has he been able to sneak in two rounds of golf, but he told reporters Tuesday he’s “doing a lot of reading” at the farm compound he’s rented for the first family. “I’m having a great time,” he said.

The president made the remarks, his first in public since heading out on vacation last week, as he escorted first lady Michelle Obama from the State Road restaurant.

Obama has faced some criticism for his latest vacation, his sixth since taking office. At a time when painful unemployment numbers continue to bear down on the tattered economy, many are frustrated that the nation’s leader is enjoying another luxurious trip. On CBS’ “The Late Show” Tuesday night, David Letterman took a jab at the president, saying: “He’ll have plenty of time for vacations after his one term is up.”

The couple dined out for the second consecutive night, this time with Washington power broker Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, as well as Chicago friends Eric and Cheryl Whitaker. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also joined the group.

Fellow diners cheered the president and clapped as he left the restaurant. Obama paused for pictures and signed autographs. While Mrs. Obama wore a colorful print dress with contrasting sleeves, the president looked more subdued in khakis, a striped dress shirt and blue outdoor jacket.

Strong thunderstorms have lashed the island off Massachusetts since Sunday, causing power outages, curtailing air transportation and forcing ferry cancellations. They also triggered traffic jams and long lines at movie theaters, restaurants and other indoor venues.

The Obamas are scheduled to remain on vacation until Sunday, when the president heads to New Orleans to check on the gulf oil spill cleanup and to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Isn’t that nice, arch-leftist and Bush hater Letterman is beginning to see what a disaster this Obama really is.

Letterman is an idiot! American got exactly what she paid for with the Obama administration. If you expected anything different, then you are either completely ignorant, or you are of extemely low intellect.

I live on Martha’s Vineyard, where I operate a small business.

Obama is not only a a weak fop & a fraud, he is our worst President in American history, and his policies are a threat to my family’s & my Liberty and Prosperity.

We deserve & demand better. It is not enough for us to wait until 2012 for this corrupt chimera to get broomed out of office: Impeach him or force him to resign now.

Everyone should know that Martha’s Vineyard is a beautiful, safe place to vacation with your family (AND the Hot Dogs are AWESOME, if you know where to go ), but even we know that this Obama is our first anti-American President, and a threat to all of our futures.

Get out, Barry, and take your scowling shrew beard with you.

The 1st year as Prez, Bush took 69 days vacation playing the redneck on his dirt ranch in TX…Obama had 26. Obama needs a little rest after working to solve the many problems inherited: health insurance reform, wall street reforms, economic stability, strategic nuclear arms reduction with Russia, etc…The GOP wants to sit back and do nothing but hope for failure…they only represent Big Biz, the rich and the right wing wackos that are racists.

– Love is never having to say I’m Sorry. I AM sorry I voted for him. We knew he was inexperienced. We did NOT know he was incompetent. We learned the hard way and now we are paying the price.


Joe, the only thing I have seen before that I don't like is you and Obama lying to the American public. Me thinks you lie to yourselves as well. Surely you do not believe the crap that you are trying to sell.


Trying to decide where the dems are in the greiving process of their failed policies. Joe is still in denial and occasionally flips in to anger. Have yet to see dems bargain on anything and suspect depression and acceptance will come after Nov election.


>>> "For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,"

Ya know, if we have to live through boom and bust economic cycles (and we do), don't curse the boom when you're in the bust.

The Bush years were a time of great prosperity. People enjoyed luxuries as never before.

Yeah, you're geting stuck with the hangover. But let's not forget that it was a GREAT party.


Joe Biden this is fu---g important. You need to say all of those crazy things to keep your job.


Seriously? The Democrats have held the majority in BOTH houses of Congress since the 2006 elections!!!! That mean Plugs and the radical poser president were BOTH in the car that was driven into the ditch. The George Soros hand puppets drove us into the ditch. Now we have the radical Muslim Arab communist poser president and front conman for the Jihad on America driving us off a cliff.

IF WE HAD A MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY THEY WOULD BE REPORTING ON OBAMA'S TIES TO ENEMIES OF AMERICA! WE HAVE THE ENEMY WITH IN!


No question, Joe like the others in the white house is delusional. It's a feeble spin that only his fellow delusionals will buy into.

This administration can blame Bush till the cows come home, but they have had nearly two years to make things better and they have MADE THINGS A LOT WORSE and they are only getting started.

Communism is bad for humans. Vote these pigs out.


While the Obama's frolic with the rich and famous at Martha's Vineyard : our economy tanks; Iran builds nukes; our Southern border goes unsecure; the American people suffer under repeated displays of arrogant contempt for their expressed will; employers remain reluctant to hire in response to the unprecedented on-slaught of onerous new taxes and regulatory millstones; we're forced to witness the continuous denigration of our Judeo/Christian heritage; America's energy sector is being willfully destroyed; our military force structure is being slowly but surely denuded to fulfill Obama's pledge: "I will cut tens-of-billions from Defense spending; halt the U.S. military's development of advanced weapons systems; reduce our military to a point that would not be viewed as a threat to our Middle-East adversaries; and, terminate America's ballistic missile defense program."; the American flags that previously flanked Presidents at their WH press conferences have been replaced with a Muslim tapestry; and, the Muslims build a Cordova Victory mosque over Ground Zero; but, whatever you do don't let these comparatively insignificant items interfere with the Obama's vacation plans. We can only pray that the Obama in-your-face "joyride" on the taxpayer dime and the concurrent American "nightmare" will end with soon to be initiated impeachment proceedings of this most radical left-wing extremist that we unwittingly elevated to the presidency of the United States. Greg Neubeck


Our economy didn't start going bad until the Dems took over congress in 2006. Since then it's only gotten worse and they still want to blame Bush. Do what you've got to do to divert the attention away from the problems created by your agenda. How pathetic!


Yes we are moving in the RIGHT direction. Farther and farther away from these fools.


It looks like everything is going according to plan Joe. You and Barry and Nancy,Harry and Barney, are systematically tearing down the very fabric of this country so that you can rebuild it in the failed model of socialist/communist dictatorships. You people aontinue to allow the high tech industry and manufacturing the very back bone of this country and this economy to be moved off shore and you wonder why we keep loosing jobs. Your green job inititive creating new jobs is a farce. In Massachusetts there was a company who had a revolutionary why to manufacture solar panels and was touted as so by Deuval Patrick (governor of Massachusetts) as the wave of the future. Last fall this company anounced that it was shutting down its Massachusetts based operations and moveing to the industrial friendly climate of China, just like all of our other jobs. You Saul Alinski model does not work in this day and age, neither does the Keynesian model which your boss tries to follow. The Keynesian didn't work for FDR, WW2 got this country out of the depression. What we are seeing is the failed socialist utopian dream of the hippie generation from the 1960's (look at the age of your elected officials for proof of this). In 1968 these ideas under a drug induced stupor may have seen good for all but in practice in 2010 they are not only a failure they have made things worse not just for our country but for the world in general. Time to vote these blame America/ hate America first types out of office and elect people who want to make this country great again, these bunch of loosers we have now only want to turn us into a third world nation.


Democrats controlled Congress since 2006.

Barney Frank has said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should were solid and blocked any effort to regulate them when it was necessary.

Obama care was going to lower costs. Now the CBO says it is going to raise costs.

Unless we pass the stimulus unemployment is going to go above 8.5%

Yes, it is all the Repubs and fault. Even though Democrats have controlled Congress FOR 4 YEARS!!!!


it is so funny to hear demos say the tax cuts are the blame but dont mention fannie and freddie... and then say repubs are in bed with wall street, uh, how may goldman sachs guys is uhbama hiring, and the wall street reform bill, seriously if you think that has teeth you are as dumb as you accuse us of being. hey, numbers dont lie and the numbers are that uhbama is killing this country...


Does Joe Bite-Me have to be threatened or drugged by Obama to make such stupid statements? The worst part is Obama doesn't even care how bad he has made the US. Obama is in lala land, where socialism always works and the government is always right. Can't have a press conference now, time for another 72 holes of golf and then another 30 day vacation. Gotta have a 30 day vacation every month..


I agree with Biden, we are moving in the right direction...for a socialist state!


Somewhere, former VP Dan Quayle is smiling!


Yeah Joe, we are going in the right direction according to your boss and the west coast loonies. A dictatorial socialist government ripe for takeover by Muslim extremists. We are urinating on the graves of our founding fathers.


Yeah Joe, we are headed in the right direction according to your boss and the west coast loonies who would create a dictatorial socialist government ripe for takeover by Muslim extremists. We are urinating on the graves of our founding fathers.

Gelatin Joe will doubtless do a lot better once he figures out which end of the bat you're supposed to grip.

Kennedy would build up our defenses that were starved by the republicans, Carter would fix the distrust of gov’t, Clinton would have the cleanest administration in history, Bush would not do “nation-building” and Obama would be “post-partisan”.


Interesting the dems have had the majority in the senate and congress for last 4 years. Recession started 3.5 years ago and because of the poor policies of the current administration, many economists now say we are in a depression. Unemployment is highest on record in 14 states. 28 states are in financial ruin. Housing sales lowest on record. Auto sales lowest on record. Hard pressed to find any economists that do not say it will get worse. Yet the democratic party still blames the GOP. The GOP has not had the ability to control anything for 4 years. I am not defending the GOP policies they had there shot under Bush and blew it. But reality is the dems made a bad situation worse. 4x the national debt, Obamas stimulus alone cost more than 6 years of the wars in iraq and afghan. Obama still has not pulled troops out and ended the wars like he ran on and promised. Now he wants to take credit for the victory there. Really you can't be sane and honest with yourself and say the dems are doing a good job. 20% approval rating for dem controlled congress, was as low as 10% previously.


Yeah we are moving in the RIGHT direction ...right of you Obama and his destroying socialist agenda...folks lets get rid of these idiots they don't have a clue and we will not recognoze our country if we leave it to the democrats


Unemployment is increasing, people are losing their houses, bankruptcies, deficits are skyrocketing, states are paying their bills with I.O.U.'s, and the stock markets are tanking. Is that "the right direction", Joe? Because that's the direction we are moving. No Doubt.


Hahahahahahahaha! Clueless Ol' Joe -- always good for a laugh or two!


" Jim ", if you are going to act like an adult, than present your argument like an adult. First of all, neither of our Houses of Congress voted on any wars, in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'll leave you to do your own research. Secondly, here is an official record as to who, controlled what, in terms of our Senate:

107th Congress (2001-2003)
Majority Party (Jan 3-20, 2001): Democrat (50 seats)
Minority Party: Republican (50 seats)
Other Parties: 0
Total Seats: 100
________
Majority Party (Jan 20-June 6, 2001): Republican (50 seats)
Minority Party: Democrat (50 seats)
Other Parties: 0
Total Seats: 100
______
Majority Party (June 6, 2001-November 12, 2002 --): Democrat (50 seats)
Minority Party: Republican (49 seats)
Other Parties: 1
Total Seats: 100
_____
Majority Party (November 12, 2002 - January 3, 2003): Republican (50 seats)
Minority Party: Democrat (48 seats)
Other Parties: 2
Total Seats: 100
Note: From January 3 to January 20, 2001, with the Senate divided evenly between the two parties, the Democrats held the majority due to the deciding vote of outgoing Democratic Vice President Al Gore. Senator Thomas A. Daschle served as majority leader at that time. Beginning on January 20, 2001, Republican Vice President Richard Cheney held the deciding vote, giving the majority to the Republicans. Senator Trent Lott resumed his position as majority leader on that date. On May 24, 2001, Senator James Jeffords of Vermont announced his switch from Republican to Independent status, effective June 6, 2001. Jeffords announced that he would caucus with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a one-seat advantage, changing control of the Senate from the Republicans back to the Democrats. Senator Thomas A. Daschle again became majority leader on June 6, 2001. Senator Paul D. Wellstone (D-MN) died on October 25, 2002, and Independent Dean Barkley was appointed to fill the vacancy. The November 5, 2002 election brought to office elected Senator James Talent (R-MO), replacing appointed Senator Jean Carnahan (D-MO), shifting balance once again to the Republicans -- but no reorganization was completed at that time since the Senate was out of session.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
108th Congress (2003-2005)
Majority Party: Republican (51 seats)
Minority Party: Democrat (48 seats)

Other Parties: 1Independent; 1 Independent Democrat
Total Seats: 100
Note:Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut was reelected in 2006 as an independent candidate, and became an Independent Democrat. Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont was elected as an Independent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
111th Congress (2009-2011)
Majority Party: Democrat (57 seats)
Minority Party: Republican (41 seats)
Other Parties: 1 Independent; 1 Independent Democrat
Total Seats: 100
Note: Senator Arlen Specter was reelected in 2004 as a Republican, and became a Democrat on April 30, 2009. Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut was reelected in 2006 as an independent candidate, and became an Independent Democrat. Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont was elected in 2006 as an Independent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, as you can plainly see, in the 108th and 109th Senate, the Republicans held the Majority Party. In the following Senates, while the Majority Party was the Democrats, the Republicans, the Minority Party, decided to thwart the prerogatives of the duly elected Democratic majority, so they proceeded to filibuster, almost every bill the Majority Party presented, even when it was in the best interests of the American people. I believed the Republicans filibustered over 100 times in the last 2 years, even against helping the unemployed, with the unemployment benefit's extension bill. If you call that Democratic control, then you haven't a clue as to the operations of our government, which tells me, you aren't thinking for yourself, you're mouthing ideology, in place of reasonable debate. So, in the end, your comments are a waste of everybody's time, including your own!! I suggest you start doing your own thinking, and leave the ventriloquism to the entertainers!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.


Why do they keep allowing this guy to mingle with normal people. Lock his mentally-challenged ass up in a room somewhere, and stop this chaos. Why do I truly believe that if someone didn't tie this morons shoes, he'd trip? Please, Barack, if you will shut this brain-dead, useless waste of skin's mouth, I swear I will vote for you in 2012. Just shut his ass up at all cost. Pull a Clinton on his ass and have him murdered if need be, but please, please shut him up.


Since those of us that are unemployed are paying Bite Me's salary, what does he care about jobs? He has one! It is a typical liberal response to a nation suffering....I have mine, too bad for you! A pox on all their houses! Can't wait for November!!!!!


Ooooo.....I can feel the smoke being blown up my rear end, Bite Me.
If we're "heading in the right direction", then we must be running as fast as we can away from this sham of an administration. You'll see what direction we're heading in come November. Enjoy your last two years in office, Bite Me.....you'll be as big a joke as Dan Quayle was.


Let's agree that the Bush years offered 2 major economic actions: tax cuts and huge entitlement spending increases. If the Bush years were bad and things are even worse now, then how about we agree to end the Bush Tax cuts, the Prescription Drug Program, Obamacare, the $1 TRILLION "stimulus" package, the financial "overhaul" bill, etc. It's sad to see such bitter partisanship when in fact we should all be extremely cautious about ALL politicians and the power we grant them over our lives.


Obama & Biden - Living proof that boobs come in pairs....


"We're Moving In Right Direction"
Really, whose right direction?

The only hope is for people to quickly figure out that long serving DEM & REP politicians are not the answer!


Hey Joe, we KNOW how big of an idiot that you are... stop trying already.


Is this blog called 'The Swamp' b/c of all the bottom feeders on here who want to blame Bush for everything?

They should remember, it was CLINTON who repealed Glass/Steagall that led to the excesses and the meltdown of the banks....

and lest we not forget that it was Obama who spent close to a TRILLION dollars w/ the 'stimulus' that stimulated nothing (except for maybe Nancy Pelosi who hadn't been stimulated in decades!)


Obama & Biden - Living proof that boobs come in pairs....


Neither Democrats nor Republicans have any clue, how to turn this economy around. Republicans only know to give tax cuts to rich and connected and big corporations CEO's and help the white collar criminals who robbed the nation and put us in this mess and start new wars and bully the world. Dems on the other hand only know how to spend, spend and spend tax payers money on the worthless projects. The only possible way this can work is they need moderate leaders from both parties to come together to solve these problems. There is no other solution. They will not allow a third party to succeed. That's just a dream. That's been tried several times before and never succeeded. If there are any Democrats and Republicans leaders left who actually love this nation and wish to save it, then and only then they need to work together to move forward together.


I'm so tired of the Democrats talking about "the last 8 years" the republicans ran the ecomony into the ground, when they were in charge of the house and senate for a good portion of that time. Bush could not get done what they themselves did not approve.


Hey Joe, I think it is about time for another taxpayers paid redo on your hair plugs, facelift and porcelain caps. They are beginning to show their age.


What planet is he from?


With all the rhetoric and confusion, everyone blaming everyone else, we're missing what's REALLY going on. The support of the Dems is based largely on those with nothing to lose. They possess no 401k's, if they had homes, they're probably gone by now, and they're either un or underemployed. What Rahm and his assistant Obama are hoping for, is an even larger number of people falling into their laps after they get done ruining what's left of America. Never let a crisis go to waste. They have, in a very short time, erased the identity of the US. We've apologized and bowed to even the most twisted of leaders. The US has been reshaped into a weak, wussy, nondescript form of what it used to be. This sure is a big change!


Anyone notice, besides the president being on vacation as 1) Iran activated their nuclear reactor 2) Iran test-launched 4 ballistic missiles 3) the U.S. jobs numbers report revealed a half-million jobless claims filed (up 50,000 in the report issued slightly before. 4) U.S. home sales sink to their lowest rate in 15 years. And our president is chillin' on the links on the acreage of the 20 million dollar estate on Martha's Vineyard, while telling us we, the American people, need to 'put some skin in the game.' Interesting though, that the larger part of the media is not doing its job in respect to these issues, but focusing on the tailored distraction that the mosque controversy has become?! Why else would he inject himself where he didn't belong a week ago?!


This guy is in la la land and dont have a clue.

In the corporate world, he would have been fired right after that speech just to be polite.


The biggest a$$ in the Democrat party, next to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the "anointed one". This guys is so out of touch with reality, no psychotropic drug is going to bring him back.


Compared to the direction the Bush&Cheney has us going in, you betcha!! Right on, President Obama and Vice-President Biden, keep us heading away from those tremendous job-loss numbers the Incompetent Duo, aka, the Bush&Cheney, had us in, even on the day of President Obama's Inauguration!! Thank God, those Incompetents, Bush&Cheney, snuck out of town and their reign of errors is over !! Unfortunately, President Obama and Vice-President Biden have been doing all of the heavy lifting, in order to get America out of that economic crater, those Doofuses left us!! Keep on, keeping on, President Obama and Vice-President Biden!! America appreciates your honest efforts.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.


Some of those posting seem to be off their meds. Others are clearly mindless sycophants. The Dem's are resorting to their base electoral strategy - blamer others, pull the race card, foster class warfare and distract. It ain't working as well these days, though. It took some doing, but by trashing the economy, attacking America (and Americans), and making the world safe for terrorists has awakend the electorate. A lot of Dems better start polishing their resumes - they're gonna have to compete for what few jobs are left outside of government.

waytago "bite me " Joe
now we all know KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS is a GANGBUSTER SUCCESS. Now we know you have 6 million jobs you saved and a few million more you created so let the out now!!!


Poor bastard wouldn't know right from wrong when it comes to direction of the country. If trying to convert the nation into mindless cretins, muslim terrorists, or nanny seeking Democrats, I will pass on that and would like to pass on the last 20 months as well! So just keep drinking the Kool-aid and checking you bank balance and you will find how well the country is doing in what Biden calls the"right direction".


“Going in the right direction” I’m sorry but the only direction Mr. Biden should be taking is a long walk off short pier facing South.


the only thing transparent in this administration are the lies


Poor Joe, if he weren't so pathetic I could laugh at his gaffs. I think his hair plugs have rooted into his brain. He'd do anything to kiss up to the wrong side, when I think he really knows better. That's an example of not standing up for what you truly believe in. If you can't stand up for truth, you'll fall for anything.


Biden is dilusional! What an idiot! Dems have had congress for the past 6 years! Chris Dodd and Barney Frank destroyed the financial markets with their mismanagement of the housing markets, and Obama, Pelosi and Reid have done more to destroy our Country than any administration in history! Just a bunch of Socialist Morons that don't have a clue. Except they do know how to take vacations! Wait till November! Clean house and throw away the trash. Then work on impeaching our Muslim President.


How would he know the right way? He's been going the wrong way all his life!


Dems and libs are liers! They just spew all kinds of false garbage so they can keep doing away with OUR constitution. We all know the truth! No jobs, home prices lower than the past 25 yrs, and no border security along with the decimation of our national security! Dems / libs are losers!


So 47% of working adults ALREADY pay ZERO in federal taxes. What happens when at least 51% of the country start relying on the other 49%? It's called REVOLT. Here's an idea.....how about EVERYONE pay something! I bet if the non-taxpayers had to pay $100 in fed taxes, they would then give a CRAP about how THEIR money is being spent. Just sayin.....


Yes Mr. Biden we are moving in the right direction IF you are aiming to bring down the United States, creating a major catastrophe (witch you can take major advantage of) and recreating it in the Progressives image - NO THANKS! We will be replacing you soon!! Count on it!


So let me get this straight...The Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress for the past three years AND the White House for the past two years....But the current dreadful economy, historically high national debt load, historically high government spending levels, brutally high current unemployment, increasingly poor race/religious relations and looming nuclear Iran are Bush and the republican's fault? Spare me ! Every major initiative by Obama and the Democrats has been unpopular by all polling accounts. Where is the leadership? Clearly Obamanation is not the nation most Americans want or need right now. Thank goodness.


Deranged, Demented and Delusional are now ways to go thru life, hey Joe???!!!


D.C. pretends to knows best while our Veterans lose their homes: http://www.prlog.org/10883983-short-sales-causing-economic-turmoil.html


Stop depending on the government for everything. It is not the government's job to "create jobs" or to "stimulate the economy."

You are not entitled to anything except the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Life is unfair and America's bill has come due plus interest. This in not Bush's or Obama's fault. It is the fault of 90 years + of horrible economic policy led by the Federal Reserve.

Stop relying on anyone but yourself, your family, and your community. The government is useless and should not be "taking care" of people from cradle to grave.

Do what your grandparents did... get off your butt and DO IT YOURSELF!


Deranged, Demented and Delusional are no ways to go thru life, hey Joe???!!!


Joe, you blithering idiot. If we're going in the right direction then going over Niagra falls in a leaky canoe full of razor blades ought to be an amusement ride. As for all of you bed wetting liberals still fixating with your BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrone), get over it clowns. Your boy is the one destroying America with unbridled passon. Stupid Obots.


Biden makes democratic senate nominee Alvin Greene of South Carolina look like a genius!

Anyone that voted for this administration should admit their ignorance and ask for the forgiveness of the American people....or at the very least put a plastic bag over their head.


Biden is so far from reality he lacks the credibility to comment on matters of importance. To think this small minded man is just a heart beat away from the Presidency is truly frightening. Is he saying if you need a job; just apply to a poor person, you know they are the ones investing in the economy and creating jobs.
Vote them all out in November.


What does taxing the rich get us? I would think letting them keep their earnings would be better for the economy. When I was in third grade, I laughed when a girl in my class who dressed better than the rest of us got beat up. Today, I am horrified at the memory. Maybe something like that is what drives the left to want to see the rich pay lots more to the government?


The VPOTUS is delusional and completely out of touch with reality

Tough Guy Wannabe,


It was your Wingnut heroes who tanked our economy in the first place, you moron.


It's amazing the way the dumber than a brick low-middle income Teabagger Republican base nuts (you) continue to vote against your own self-interests. If you're still stupid enough to continue to vote for a Republican party that doesn't give a damn about anyone but the Wall Street robber barons, Billionaires, Mega-Corporations and Big Oil - then you deserve everything you're getting right, clown.

***********************************

Clearly Rob has not made his gracious exit out of the false left/right paradigm. Like many of those who's eyes welled up with tears on that fateful day, dreaming of their precious savior and the day he would arrive down their chimneys with a free check addressed to their morgage holders or the issuers of their auto loans, heck better yet, just plain old cash, Rob has been disillusioned. Rob doesn't understand that he's been played for a fool. In fact, like many of the hopey/changey folks out there he may just ENJOY being played for a fool. Its a sickness really. Its their desire to be scammed, robbed, cheated, bamboozled, etc. They just can't get enough of it.

You're the quintessential blood bag for the global elite, Rob. They feed you a line about how its an "us against them world" and you go for it hook, line and sinker. The entire time they're working the system against you and you foolishly think you're on the winning side. You've been made busy with fighting against the Republicans because in your mind, that's all there is, Republicans vs. Democrats. In addition you joyously pay them your taxes so they can continue to spend it on your specially designed wonderland experience.

Instead of playing video games all day, jerking off in your salad and calling it dressing, why don't you pick up a book or two and open your mind to what's really going on? Start with "The Creature from Jekyll Island" or "The Art of War" which contains a fascinating few lines on the divide and conquer strategy. You may find it interesting, or, maybe not.

If you're not into reading much, try watching a documentary or two. Start with one called "The Obama Deception". From there, move on to "The Money Masters". Next, "Fall of the Republic". Then, one of my all-time favorites, "America: Freedom to Fascism". And for entertainment purposes watch the film "1984". I'm sure that one will show you some frightening parallels to the world you're currently living in. Hopefully you'll pick up on them.

My desire is that you take serious the information I have provided you and partake in deep study therein. If you so choose to ignore these suggestions then I wish the best for and bid you farewell that I might forget ye were my countryman.


Whenever the Vice Distractor, Joe Biden says something definitive, you know that he is not to be believed.


The Democrats took over congress 2006.

Before 2006, we had prosperity.
The economy took a nose dive after 2006....

I wonder what that means...

hmmmm.....


It’s a 4 step process to fix this
1. Take back the House and Senate
2. Impeach Obama (fast track 1 Month: Socialist and incompetent)
3. Impeach Biden (Fast track 1 month: incompetent)
4. Place new Republican House speaker in presidency


I am nostalgic for the old days too. You democrats ran the economy into the ground. You've held congress and the senate for the last 6. It's YOUR policies that have done us in. I long for Bush's economy, Under 5% unemployment, stock market up, housing market up, and people working. What's wrong with that picture? You Dems will fall for the sake of the country. Your liberal "make the rich man pay" policy does not and has never worked you bafoon. I've never gotten a job from a poor person. What are you worth mister vp?


Yeah Joe were headed in the right direction? You must be deluded cause were headed into a DEPRESSION! Your master might as well get his tax payer funded jet set vacations in since he won't be able to after 2012! You Lib Dems are wrecking this country with your deficit spending and unsustainable social programs! We will be lucky not to go bankrupt and end up in a second civil war before all is said and done? You Libs are as useful as tits on a boar! Thank God November is just around the corner! Wish it was November of 2012 already! No more Libs!


"No doubt we're moving in the right direction."
"Smokin' (dope) Joe" Biden

If going straight to Hell is moving in the right direction, then I guess Biden is correct.


Wow. I read the Japanese think Americans are simpletons, and after reading these posts, I'm inclined to agree. Let's see if you liberal nitwits can grasp these concepts. Without big oil, fuel is NOT produced or delivered. Therefore, the price of gas, if there is any, skyrockets and people drive less. When people drive less, they buy less, and the economy slows. Second, without "mega-corporations" or big businesses in general, jobs quickly disappear. You see, that's where the really good jobs come from. Also, lots of jobs are created by small businesses. Many of these small businesses bring in over 250k of revenue and file taxes as individuals. The owner doesn't MAKE 250k, that's what the business generates before expenses are deducted. Understand so far? This revenue makes them "rich" in Obamaworld, and Obama, along with most of you, want to tax the rich. Guess what happens when businesses get taxed more. They quit hiring. Ta-da! So now you have very little hiring by any job producing entity. Remember, the government does not produce jobs. They don't produce ANYTHING. Third, without a robust wall street, the economy grinds to a screeching halt. This trifecta of economy inhibitors will quickly transform any country to a third world country. And while this administration pushes the country to the brink of ruination, millions of people will stand defiantly, with their hands held out, for more government largess. Why? Because they exist and they know in their heart of hearts that they are entitled to everything that someone else has worked for. I know I've wasted my time writing this post, but it had to be said. Producers, creators, and innovators have started to go Galt, and not a moment too soon in my opinion.


This idiot would have said the same thing if he had been on the Titanic.


JOE n BO gotta GO !


All I can say is www.zazzle.com/ciaoobama


Don Fitzgerald ... your comment was truly great, earning you a place along side the illustrious President Obama and his VP gofer, Joe "the mouth" Biden.

Go ahead, stand next to them as they sink further in the quicksand of history ... i'm sure they appreciate the loyalty from at least one Demoid.


Joe Biden, the Inspector Clouseau of the White House


Biden is a really bad novelty. A true talking head who makes no sense and reads his own press clippings. He, Pelousy, and that dumbo Reid should be relegated to the dumpster! What a bunch of idiots!


A demo congress has always meant spend, spend, spend on demo special interest groups, vote buying to stay in office. Would term limits end that? Or, better yet, an amendment to constitution stopping congress from giving benefits to their special interest groups.


And people say Sarah Palin was the dumb one in the VP race.


Is this guy from another Planet? How can anyone take Biden seriously? He's like the court jester. Good for a laugh or two but nothing else. I wonder if at night, all alone, he really believes all the Obama propaganda he spews out of his mouth. If he does, he's a total fool. If he doesn't then he's a liar.


If by down the sh@tter, then, yes, Mr. Biden, we are headed in the right direction.


Joe Biden - the best thing that ever happened to the GOP! That is, next to you other moronic Leftists!


Selective memory there, Joe, just keep hiding how the Democrats blocked regulation and oversight into illegal accounting at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which led to this crash... they lied about what they were selling to Wall St. People can see clips of the hearing yourselves on youtube if you weren't conscious when it went down. Search "shocking Democrats Fannie Mae" no need to spin anything out for you, it's all there, along with who did what. Obama acts like he just flew in on a cloud... "Doh, I inherited this." Right, and if you weren't up to the job you should have stayed out of it. #fail


Let's get real here. V.P Joe Biden is the "Curly" to Pres. Barack Obama's "Moe" of Three Stooges fame. The "Larry" of the group is Turbo Tim Giethner and "Shemp" can be adequately played by Beltway Bob Gibbs.


People, People, People...Biden is not lying. This is the direction the Demoncrats want to take the country...down, down, down. So...it is a correct statement. The plan is working, that's all he is saying.


The Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee also wrote a bill to get regulation and oversight over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, John McCain was a co-sponsor, but they couldn't get enough votes from Democrats to pass it. Joe Biden was there, weren't you, buddy? Tell them how it went down, Joe. Tell them what Bush tried to do about it. And Clinton at the end of his term. And why Fannie/Freddie were left out of this latest Financial Regulation bill, too. Hello? Hello? Did Biden go out to lunch and forget to come back?


If eBay and Paypal would release the millions they have improperly frozen in millions of accounts people would have extra money to spend! www .paypalfreeze.squarespace.com


Is this idiot for real?? Has joey not noticed that awakening going on in this country? Nobody is buying D.C. rhetoric any more.


All I have to say is I havent seen state propaganda this bad since the Russian Leonoid Breshnev era......


I remember the horrible Bush years, when every storefront had a "help wanted" sign in the window and stocks were exorbitantly expensive. Now under our Dear Obama's leadership the employers have all of the employees that the need and I can afford to buy stocks again! Even real estate is becoming a good deal. Listen to Joe Biden's wisdom.

What was that about movies, Joe? See for yourselves.


Is it me or is VP Biden beginning to sound like "Comical Ali", Mohammad Said Sahhaf, the former Iraqi propaganda minister who sent out broadcasts from Baghdad between the American bombing runs to announce that Iraq was dealing a death blow to the infidels in the mother of all wars? Yeah, "Comical Joe-y", AKA VP Biden, is so stuck on his propaganda high horse he can not hear the economy bombing all around him.


50 years of liberal / progressive / social / democrat policies have left us bankrupt and our grandchildren holding the bag.

$13 trillion deficit is peanuts compared with the estimated $190 trillion (per the CBO) in unfunded entitlement liabilities for social security, medicare and medicaid... And this doesn't even include the cost of the new healthcare "reform" entitlements or the cumulative state deficits...

Pretty much game over for us... Too bad we didn't learn sooner that you can't have something for nothing...


Joe Biden is right you guys. We are heading in the right direction! Come 2012 we're gonna show Joe the "Exit Stage Left" door!


If reverse is the right direction, then you ARE correct.


How did Democrats win claiming Bush was the dumb one?


He's an embarrassment along with the vacationing 'Bama.


Biden is the poster boy of the democratic party...ignorant, uninformed, out of touch and believes the American public as a whole has an IQ of 65.

It's a shame his parents allowed him to peel the lead based paint from his crib and eat the chips.


Mr. Spartan, you are spot on....was thinking the same when I read Joe BiteMe's comments....I now know why this man-boy, puppet, & clown got bounced so fast from the couple of DemonRat Presidential primaries (1988....yes, he lost to Dukakis....that tells you ALL you need to know + 2008)
++++++++++++++++++

Actually Mr. Biden,

The Republicans were running the last 6 years of the Clinton term, the best 6 of his presidency, then they ran the first 6 of Mr. Bush's - his 6 best. It was the last 2 when Democrats ran things into the ground and they continue to do so presently....at least until the next Republican congress is sworn in next January.

Posted by: The Spartan | August 24, 2010 5:14 PM


Biden's still perfect 100% wrong on everything he does and says.


Joe you don't know diddly sqwat. Rich folks create all the jobs, Rich folks pay ninety percent of all taxes, Rich folks make the economic engine grow. Political fools criple, steal, lie, and kill everything and everyone they touch. Dem/Progressives are cancer on America. Vote out the bums start the revolution at the ballot box.


Obama and Biden - Is this a remake of Dumb and Dumber?


From the theft of trillions to the treasonous aiding and abetting our enemies these incompetent imbeciles really belong in jail or prison or hanging upside down in a public square or tarred and feathered....

Where's the money Joe and WHERE ARE THE JOBS? Miserable bunch of robbers, looters, liars and cons.

Joe - Oh Joe, resign and retire, you are such a pathetic stupid drunken fool of a joke. Go back to the Villages and have another drink.

Barry - Resign before you're impeached and imprisoned. Go back to one of your 57 Islam States and get out of the United States. You hate this country? Right back at you despicable sorry excuse to the office most of us respect. Some of us know your history and the rest are about to find out about your communist roots. They might even wonder about those three week trip to Pakistan when you and your Muslim roommates went to the tribal regions where only Muslims were allowed. Hm, three weeks is the norm for terrorist training. They might even find out who paid for your college expenses. Might even find out the our American terrorist, Bill Ayers not only wrote your two books but launched your political career in Chicago. Who knows, people might get a look a the birth certificate that you spent millions to hide (we already know it shows you as a Arab Muslim so save our money and release it).


Joe, Obama and the Democrats continue to point the finger but fail to admit they have been in control of the economy for almost 4 years. Back during those years of so-called Bush/Republican policies, we had lower unemployment (5.4% for 8 years) lower bankruptcy rates; lower foreclosure rates and a lower number of Americans on Food Stamps. All these number have hit record highs under the 4 years of Democrats control of the economy. These numbers on top of the housing numbers prove Biden/Obama/Democrats are bold-faced liars. Their numbers are called "recovery" when these numbers are worse than those of "Bush's failed policies." How is that hope and change working for you America?


Psst! Pass it on! The democrat party knows Obama is a one term president. They are going to tell him after the mid-terms are over. Think Hillary. That's the new game it town. Watch, wait, see.


Hey Plugs - I thought you weren't allowed out in public unaccompanied by four attendants in little white coats?


O.K. So this experiment with Obama and the Chicago mob
didn't go so well. Get over it. We have other tricks up our sleeves. Stay tuned and continue to support your national democrat party until we can figure something else out. We are going to make it top priority right after everyone gets back from their August vacation.


Of course things are right on track. More people are becoming dependent on the govt, responsible hard working people are being punished and labor unions are being greased by taxpayer money. What's the problem?


Since when is "going to hell in an handbasket" the right direction?


The right direction is double digit unemployment as the new norm? Wow, you set your goals low and aimed lower. Must be nice to be stupid


Evidently his plugs are growing backwards and clogging his brain.


Okay, all of you little boys and girls of the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers, you better get home, now and change your dippies. There is a distinked oder about your posts and it certainly isn't your intelligence!! Maybe, while you're there, mommy or daddy can give you an idea or two, so you can run to your 'puter and post. So, this way it looks like you are using your head and not on that which you're sitting !! Go, President Obama and Vice-President Biden, we are heading in the right direction, to a more prosperous America. The auto industry seems to be turning it around. Thank God, we were able to reverse that job-loss flow, that the previous administrations had begun, 4 or 5 years!!

Watching V.P. Bite Me waxing eloquent reminds me of that Baghdad info-clown who daily insisted Saddam's army was brutally overwhelming the American Army at every turn.


Kill yourself Joe, it's the right thing to do you nob head.


Yawn. What did gentle Joe say that was of any importance? The great economist that he is, he certainly has the tail of the jackass firmly in hand. "Right direction"? Going in the "right" direction means the opposite with these guys, i.e., we are heading in the wrong direction. That is like telling the traffic cop that has pulled one over for speeding that you were really accelerating so you could slow down more effectively. Say what? Joe needs to remain the VP just for the laughs.


I think we should thing less of this party and that party. We should listen to Glen Beck and understand that both parties are in the wrong, but understand that the Dems are driving us all to the worst depression we will ever see. The fact is we need to rely on the founders and the knowlege that made this country what it was and not bickering back and forth while the country is imploding behind the scenes. God Bless everyone...


Oh, I see all the boys and girls of the Republican-Libertarian-T.Bagger's knitting circle are back, seated at their computers, using their best feature, in which case, I hope all of those chairs are cushioned. Now that you have had your diappies changed, I'm sure we can count on some more smelly volleys of your specialty, babys##t, all over this blog. Oh, well, thank God, you don't drop by, sorry about that, too often. We couldn't stand the stink of your childish posts. So, have a good time, clean up your mess before you head home and by all means, thank your moms and dads, for allowing you to spread your incredible stink!! Especially since, your stinking posts have a tendency to put a reader to sleep. So, fortunately for me, I don't waste my time on such childish effusions. Have fun, kids!!

I love it when the Swamp gets a broader audiance and PFUTZ ,and all the flatliners in general, get to show their stupidity to a broader audiance.


Thanks, " Terry ", I really needed that encouragement. After all, you being the chief swamp-rat, its insignificance is underwhelming. I hope one day, to match your witless observations and reach that pinnacle of confusion, that you have achieved!! In the meantime, I suggest you get over to CVS, dictionaries on sale.

PFUTZ,

Thanks for being my spellchecker. Be all you can be. I have forgotten more about most subjects than you and your CPS educated mind will ever know.
