Obama's Economy

OMG, that Barack Obama is ruining the economy!

One year after U.S stocks hit their post-financial-crisis low on March 9, 2009, the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 Index has risen more than 68 percent, and it’s up more than 41 percent since Obama took office. Credit spreads have narrowed. Commodity prices have surged. Housing prices have stabilized. 

“We’ve had a phenomenal run in asset classes across the board,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist for Miller Tabak & Co. in New York. “If he was a Republican, we would hear a never-ending drumbeat of news stories about markets voting in favor of the president.” 

If this is what a Democratic President can do, America needs a lot more of it.  And don't forget, he's done this with no help whatsoever from Republicans in Congress, who have voted NO on every single economic initiative, hoping Obama's failure would help them return to power.  Not happening, dudes.

Yes! Thanks for posting this. (4.00 / 1)
Our attitude and how we talk about things is contagious. We must show HOPE to others and talk about the good parts. No one is claiming that the jobs situation is good, but compared to how it could have been I think our President has done a GREAT job.

Yes we can (4.00 / 1)
and Yes we are!

What's that you say? (4.00 / 1)

That black, I mean Barack Obama had the audacity to turn the economy around?  Shock and shame!

 Psst gop!   Keep on running on being the party of NO. 

Here's a free ad for you;

Vote for me because I've voted not just NO but HELL NO to health care reform, the stiumuls, equal pay for women and any other issue that might help improve the quality of your lives and make our country a better place because I hate Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Obama more than I love my country.  I will play into your worst fears and sterotypes and squash your hopes and dreams.

Party First!

Oh BTW,  I don't know what polling pollsters the goppers are polling, but according to an AP/ Gfk poll the majority of the American people want health care reform.



The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.~Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D. MA)



Good news to our economy (0.00 / 0)

The rising of the economy is just a sign of how Obama is doing a good job at the presidency.

Our GDP will  grow 3.0 percent this year compared to last year's percentage which will only strengthen our economy.  

This is a great step in pushing the economy to the levels that once existed.
