Dear Editor,
Obamanomics 101. Let’s look at the facts: At Obama’s Inauguration, the price of gas was $1.83. It has more than doubled since and heading higher. The official U.S. unemployment is back up to 9 percent, but it is 15.9 percent when factoring in those who have quit looking and those who took part time jobs (Bureau of Labor Statistics). According to Zillow, home prices have plummeted at their fastest rate since the Lehman collapse and an all time record 16.3 million families owe more than their homes are worth. A study by New America Foundation shows 8.5 million people receiving unemployment checks and over 40 million receiving food stamps. Wal-Mart’s CEO says its customers are running out of money and purchases will be falling off by end of the month even more than last year. The Wall Street Journal says the dollar today is lower than at any time since major currencies began floating in 1973. It’s 13 percent lower than 30 years ago and 28 percent below its peak in 2002. Standard and Poors downgraded the outlook for the US to negative from stable on its credit. All of this is a recipe for disaster, which we all see fast approaching. The Lame-Stream Media will never tell the truth about the failed economic record of this failed administration. I would suggest that folks stop relying on the LSM to get real news. Start checking into fact-based journalism by The Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, RedState, League of American Voters, National Review, Civitas, and yes, Fox News. No slant, just facts. They are stubborn things, aren’t they?

My question for you is: "do you really believe all this garbage you post?"
In a 1999 New York Times editorial observed: "Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Bill Clinton administration to expand mortgage loans among low-and moderate-income people and felt pressure to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits."
You need to brush up on history. This nation was founded on small government and individual freedom. Both principles have been violated by both Clinton and Obama, however, Obama is not to blame for the housing crisis - Clinton is.
Each time government increases our freedoms decrease. Nothing is as despicable is depriving one of his wages to give to someone else.
Tell, do you speak like you post - without thinking thinking it through?
Not a good post to prove the point you are trying to make.
I am still waiting on the jobs promised if only Congress extended the tax cuts to the rich, they were extended. Where are the jobs?
Tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend. They have exhausted all their avenues of revenue, so now they want to demonize the successful and seize their gold so they buy votes with their giveaways.

In the event that we cannot locate Murray, we have decided to seek an alternative person of the same type and that is Mrs. Chuck Sauls, she also is due a well prepared meal of Crow and to deny us Repubs our just revenge is indeed outragous.
Please join me in my quest to locate and demand their return to the scene of their crimes.

Our people need jobs, any jobs not just show place positions, we need income, not handouts, we need wages not unemployment checks and most of all, we need leadership from our leaders and they are capable of providing it if they quit trying so hard to agree on everything and use their ideas even if the others disagree with them, so County Commissioners, step-up do the job we thought you could when we elected you,
louis, you know who .
Using your logic, if all Democrats must be atheist or at least it's prefered,
Then all Republicans take a wide stance in airport toilet stalls, or all Republicans are stalking young boys.
Of course that is NOT true. Everyone with half a brain knows that.
Anyone with a half a brain would know that all Democrats aren't atheists.
So what's your story? Are you just stirring the pot or do you half less than half a brain? I'm voting pot stirrer.

Obamanomics is the opposite extreme of Reaganomics.Obviously....you libs really messed up.You know it too.How can you not?How can you deny it?I mean, rrrrreally?
Political debates are fun,advantageous to those out of the loop, but I fear liberalism has gone far,far left in our time.Too bad.I thought Carter was bad but this is an atrocity.Obama is too smart for his own good and politically atrocious.His policies are a bladent disregard of American Capitalism,the American way in total.
Or "leading from behind" as this administration is apt to do on every foreign policy issue that has come before them.
Intolerant? Just read your own, hate-filled, cringe-inducing, name-calling posts. That is a fine definition of intolerance...and petulance, if you allow me to add.
And Danny...if you care about saving this nation - you better be ready to fight. You tell me where to find acceptable compromise with an ideology that permits the murder of unborn babies, that refuses to accept the fiscal reality of a nation well on its way to insolvency, that considers it moral and fair to "re-distribute" money from one group to give to another group. Our Founding Fathers would have called that what it is - theft. How do you begin those negotiations?
