That's been the dhimmicrat plan since the early 1900's. It's in it's final destructive phase.

fmadsen • 10 years ago

...but how can that be???: unemployment went down to 7.4%, our economy grew at an annualized 1.6%, and Obama and his Complicit, Fawning, Lying Left-Wing, Progressive Democrat Loving Media Whores say the economy is wonderful and growing like gang-busters.

After 5 years, almost $1T in stimulus, and presently over $80B/mo. of additional stimulus we should be growing at 4-5% and have unemployment at 5%. The media has made Obama the Teflon Prince and the Useful Idiot voters buy into the media lie.

Guest • 10 years ago

Only a few weeks ago we beheld the truth behind the illusion of Wall Street when the possible end of Quantitative Easing Infinity was announced. Panic hit, and the Fed's quickly turned around.

The stimulus is an artificial crutch, an illusion of prosperity which will cause a total collapse of the market when it ends.

Unemployment is down to 7.4% based on cooked books, and the fact so many people are no longer looking for work. Real numbers needed to begin to regain the 9 million jobs permanently lost under Obama would be 500K per month.

As for the annualized 1.6% economic growth, again the books have been cooked and they restructured the means for determining growth. True growth is a sustained 3.5-5% annual, not the artificial numbers from DC.

The Democratic voters wanted a King and prosperity; all they got was a madman and destruction, and they cannot even see the truth of their own choices.

America is at our LOWEST, EVER! This marxist-muslim-maggot, obama is DESTROYING US every single day he remains in office! WE, the PEOPLE must take to the streets and RID US of a DICTATOR !

I know exactly who those "Home Affordable Refinance Program" were only few Cherry picked people qualified. I filed 4 times for this program and after being treated like shit , having nobody call me back and waiting 6 months to hear once again I didn't qualify. Take your "Home Affordable Refinance Program" and shove it up your ass. Its designed to help people who don't need help. I think about how many people out on the streets because of this useless program.

Atlantean • 10 years ago

The Government cares about you and I as much as it cares about the Cherokee, Comanche or Sioux.

They don't, it's all lip service to fool the foolish and keep the mob pacified.

I lost my home in the tech crash of 2000, have been renting since. saving my money to buy some land outright and build my home on it, no loan, no mortgage, no debt, no excuses.

Things will get better. Banks are drooling to make loans to the hordes of part-time workers.

cunov2 • 10 years ago

Excellent.

Johannes • 10 years ago

The more Americans who become broke and are thrown out of their homes and onto the street, forced onto social services, the more obama can claim credit for "fixing income disparity."

Just like in the former Soviet Union, when everyone is broke and working for the govenrment, there will be total income redistribution. But in a free country with a Constitution that directly threatens total dictatorship, the First, Second and Fourth Amendments have to be overcome before any of it can happen.

Are ya beginning to see our future?

Guest • 10 years ago

I remember the soviet union( I refuse to use capital letters), I don't want to live the way those people did. They were governed like worthless animals with no value except what value the state placed on them.

Atlantean • 10 years ago

Which were at best, assets to be used by the State, otherwise things to be absolutely controlled.

Guest • 10 years ago

And these young,college attending, low-info sponges have no clue of what they have voted twice for. I won't live like that, I'll take my chances with Mother Nature than motherf^^ker russia.

Guest • 10 years ago

Exactly!

Paulytical • 10 years ago

Well, 0bama can explain this to you. It's all the fault of rich people. Yep, rich people are the reason there are poor people. So, 0bamaLogic requires that we do away with the rich people. Then, the poor people won't be poor anymore. See? It's easy.

Eileen_For_Freedom_Liberty • 10 years ago

Since coming into office...America...the 'massa' in the big house and his henchmen in our Congress have been working diligently to take America down within...one piece at a time...one bill at a time.

The auto industry, the oil industry, the coal industry, the fishing industry, the real estate industry, the investment industry, the banking industry, the healthcare industry, the insurance agency, the space industry and taken down our military to be nothing but 'toy' soldiers being used as pawns to help his BFF...the Muslim Brotherhood!

AMERICA...THIS FRAUD SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED (5) YEARS AGO...FOR EVEN ONE OF THESE TAKEDOWNS...BUT BECAUSE HE AND HIS EVIL DEMOCRATZI 'LOONS' OWN THE SENATE...WE ARE AT THEIR MERCY.

WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN...AMERICA!

We took back the House...and now it is time to take back the Senate...so we can save America...and stop this destruction.

OBAMA PUSHED OBAMACARE...BECAUSE OBAMA DOESN'T CARE!

We can work to stop them NOW...by signing the petition of two Senators fighting for us...Lee and Cruz...who are merely asking us to support their efforts to support us...by signing the petition to say we want to stop Obamacare...and if the only way to do it...is to DEFUND IT...than we are in it for the win!

http://www.dontfundobamacar...

DO NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING...AMERICA...OUR FOREFATHERS, OUR FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERS ALSO EXPERIENCED HARD TIMES...BUT THEY OVERCAME IT BY UNITING TOGETHER TO FIGHT IT...AND WE WILL TOO!

BP310 • 10 years ago

Wait.... wait just a minute!!! You can't afford a $600,000 house and make $35,000 a year? Clinton and his cronies really poured on that falsehood..... We are seeing the results yet again. The end game of course is the libs won't be happy until they ban private property.

indy2281 • 10 years ago

Clinton? did you miss this above? In addition, President George W. Bush in 2002 "set a goal of allowing
5.5 million low-to-moderate-income and minority families to buy a home.
As big banks rubber-stamped risky loans, government-backed Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac bought up more of them to meet the targets set,

TheLineIsDrawn • 10 years ago

You'll find plenty here who share criticisms of President Bush...although he is no longer president. Neither did he start CRA, and his attempts to reign in FNM were thrwarted by the Dems in Congress who went on to write the massive Dodd-Frank bill under obama, which may yet rival obamacare in its national destructiveness.

Guest • 10 years ago

Back in 06 and 07, Komwade Fwank was saying he didn't see any problems with Freddie mac and fannie mae and was singing the praises of Franklin Rains.

Let's Fire This Slob! • 10 years ago

HARP, HAMP, HUMP, DUMP. Whatever. None of it did my sister any good, because the bank took her badly-underwater house last year anyway. But then, her lack of melanin disqualified her from receiving just about any form of government assistance in this here Age of Uuhhhbama.

Atlantean • 10 years ago

LOL!!!! Melanin-impaired?!!!

Thanks for the best laugh of the day!

Whatever they call all those vile programs, We the People definitely got Harpooned, Hampered, HUMPed, and DUMPed on.

What was then is back again, change anybody?

President Carter speaks to Americans about the "crisis of confidence" in American government, values, and way of life, as the public expresses doubt in a better future for their own children. Carter challenges citizens to unite and address the problems in America by first addressing the energy shortage. July 15th, 1979

Similarities, yes, but obama is far worse than Carter.

We now have an openly lawless socialist, authoritarian-minded president who is deliberately steering the country to financial calamity, harrassing political opposition and stirring up racial divisions in advance of it. Not the sort of person you want to possess some fig leaf pretext for declaring martial law at some point.

We were warned by Ben back in the day!

Guest • 10 years ago

Crisis in confidence of th government: today we have an even better example, for no one should be confident in the government other than to rob, cheat, lie and corrupt the nation completely into communism if Obama and the left have their way (add into that the blatant actions of the RINO's)

cunov2 • 10 years ago

Don't believe what you see and hear about your co-workers or neighbors having a difficult time, listen to Obama and his media and enjoy our fifth summer of recovery.

TheLineIsDrawn • 10 years ago

I see those damn banks went back to their evil policy of only lending to people who can pay it back, which is a rapidly dwindling number in the obama economy. Never fear, it won't be long until there are obamahomes in which people can use their obamaphones and otherwise spend their obamamoney.

bjedwards • 10 years ago

Yup, the Obama depression continues with no end in sight.

Yuccaman • 10 years ago

Yeah Obama should seize them force companies to hire more people.

savhcheshire-Truth prevails • 10 years ago

Oh no, don't let obama near a company. Most of the ones he has invested We the People's money in have gone belly up.

Mr. H • 10 years ago

HARP, and every other government program that stirs in the economy, just to see statistics change, should never have been proposed, or passed, or signed into law. The legislative branch of governance is prone to being something of a spendthrift, and liberal progressive controlled legislative branches of government are extreme cases of extreme overspending income. Just because a liberal progressive wants to help someone does not mean they should be able to get a law passed to waste money on their good intention that will have horribly awful undesirable consequences, that we will have to suffer through for years to come.

sisterdo • 10 years ago

I can't believe they have good intentions. They are self serving. The ones who hate whites rile up stories designed to pit minorities like dogs against them.
It just hurts everyone in the end, and it's just because of their hate.
The ones who who hate their wealthier neighbors use class resentment to try to stir up us "riff raff" against "the rich" in hopes of briging their wealthier, more successful neighbors down a peg.
Meanwhile, us "riff raff" end up being told that we can't achieve and being pushed downward.
The ones who want to use "funds" for this and that always take a six figure salary for themself.
It's self serving hate. That's all the Left is. They hate themselves, hate most everyone else and then pit people against each other in hopes of getting a higher, more significant place in the world for themself.
There is very little heart or goodness in the whole scheme.

Mr. H • 10 years ago

Well, they say they have good intentions. The trouble is their ideology get in the way, and all we get is is a pile of fresh cow pies to wade through that the liberal progressives ever so kindly renew every day.

Liberal progressives just plain flat do not understand nature has laws, and thus violate those laws frequently and often on a daily basis.

It's not nice to mess with mother nature! She wins every time.

Guest • 10 years ago

It's all going to the plan the CFR has laid out for prez Ogina. One of the main planks of the communist manifesto is the abolishment of private property and property ownership. What part of Fundamental Transformation didn't you understand?
