I am the president.

Maybe this will be the market correction that has been thirty years in the making. Long term, that could actually be OK for the country.

I feel sorry for everyone with home equity that had other plans for it.

That last part can be personally devastating.

Navin R. Johnson's economic advisors from the movie The Jerk now work for the White House.  Here is a transcript of their last meeting with Obama:

Econ Whiz 1:    If your initial investment is a half a trillion dollars and your dealerships and banks are up in March, you should have "X" amount of dollars rolling in by the end of this year.

President Obama:   Ah, "X" amount. That's very good isn't it?

Econ Whiz 2:   Not only that, you can depreciate the entire company for the full amount!

President Obama:  Depreciate!  Hum, very good.  I like that.

Out, damned sock.

Solid B+

It would have been an A, but CASH FOR CLUNKERS cost $24,000.00 per car.

To review.  It cost $19,500 for each car that we subsidized.

The customer got $4,500, GOVERNMENT COSTS WERE $19,500 @ CAR.

Lets have GOVERMENT DO...HEALTH CARE FOR CLUNKERS!!!

It will REDUCE THE DEFICIT!!!!!  RIGHT??

We have a lot of suffering to do untill November.  And even then the joy will be short lived. 

Sigh, I'm trusting that Republicans will have the strength to thwart this sustained attack against our country?

What a fucking mess.

Has anyone read the communist manifesto for kicks?

You'll puke.  What is happening right now is exactly what Marx details needs to happen during the 'prolitariate revolution'..  He even explains that during the overthrow of the upper class system (uhh.. the people who run our economy and keep us out of the dark ages), the economic times will seem unreasonable or unsustainable.

Obama is using Marx as a manual.  no shit my friends.

Scary thing is, even marx didn't quite understand what exactly would replace the economic engine that it was trying to destroy.   This mans writings have caused the deaths of near 100 million.  He's no doubt the most overrated person ever.  A phoney intelectual who couldn't hold a job himself.  Even Marx in his lifetime denounced french workers parties using his writings... calling them 'mindless sloganeers'.  I doubt even he could fathom entire countries following him.

It truley is the underwear gnomes system.

1. Destroy our current society

2. ????

3. Utopia!!

Obama is a mindless marxist and is our enemy.

The only double dippin' I'm doing is on this upcoming November 2 nd at about 10 PM when Brian Williams says we threw a tantrum. 

The government spent decades trying to make housing affordable, which made the housing market unaffordable.  Now that the market is trying to make housing affordable, the government is trying desperately to keep it unaffordable.

Interesting news.  I so hate interesting news these days...

So, soon it will be campaign season.  It is possible that after campaign season we could find the R's presiding over this mess, at least in the legislative branch.  My question is, aside from taking advantage of the fact that the D's have gone full-retard, what are our guys proposing to support private industry/business and spur job growth?  Do any of the leaders have an alternate program that makes any sense?  Or are they planning to watch in silent horror, maintaining some kind of status quo, as things continue to swirl down the toilet? 

Deficit reduction is vital, and I hope they can manage it, but it is NOT a cure all.  It doesn't bring companies back to the US, and while it will slow the destruction of American business, it will not automatically start to restore it.

Do they have any clear plans to destroy the idea of cap and trade, and expand energy production?  Do they plan to remove barriers to manufacturing production?  Rein in the EPA?  What about the currency manipulation and export subsidies of our so-called trade partners?  How about sealing the borders and exporting our illegal excess low-skill labor capacity back to its point of origin?  How about slowing remittances by foreigners working in the US, which drains our economy of 30 billion+ dollars per year plus the loss of the multiplier effect of those billions? 

In short, do our guys have a plan?  Or will they go back to their standard tactic of sitting around with their thumbs up their asses?

50 I call BS on that Slaughter threat.  Most whack jobs are not going to say "we are deploying snipers".  They are more likely to say I have a rifle and I am going to shoot you.

Agreed.  If she got an e-mail or voice mail with that threat, let her produce it.  It wouldn't be hard to fake either, but since she didn't produce the evidence of this threat with her initial claim, than I call BS too.

Or say nothing at all and just do it.  Like they say - watch out for the dog that doesn't bark.  I'm not going to endorse lawbreaking, but in cases like this I'm not going to go out of my way to watch and report, either.  I have no pity for traitors, nor any enmity toward those who bring traitors down.

Just got a contract on my house this am - WOOT!  

I have equity, which is going into gun, gold, and seeds!

Or she's been playing an RTS game where there's a command to "deploy snipers".

Nope, the media narrative is those evil Republicans are delaying the fixes to the Health Care bill and denying poor kids a chance at a overpriced college education.  Nevermind that social security is in the red THIS YEAR but let's go ahead with this health care bill.

You won't get within miles of his little preplanned photo op rally I'm quite certain.  No, they'll do this the same way they've handled all of these little trips of late, the only people there will be there on an invite only basis.

If your not a Democratic party supporter or an SEIU member they bussed in from the 6th circle of Hell (or whereever it is they seem to bus these people in from) then your not getting anywhere near this rally, and even if you do get an extremely sizeable protest you won't get an ounce of news coverage for it, because as the lame stream media will tell you everyone who matters just loves ObamaCare and anyone who doesn't is just a racist malcontent.

The only way you can truly celebrate is if they are paying cash.  Otherwise, if they need a mortgage then you need to worry about the appraisal and if they can get a mortgage.  The rules of the game have changed.  Know lots of people with good credit who would have gotten a mortgage two years ago who are having enormous trouble getting a mortgage now.

Sex offenders get Viaga under this health care plan. DemonRATS defeated Coburn's attempt to repeal  this inclusion.

Question: Why do Democrats want sex offenders to have Viaga?

Yeah, I'm sweating my appraisal right now.  Day 3 of waiting for the results.  Good news is my neighbor sold his a few houses down from me and it sold for more per sqaure feet than mine did.

They don't want to be the only ones committing rape-rape

James Cameron said he wants to shoot global-warming deniers in the street.

Won't gunning down millions of people in the street cause a lot of harmful carbon dioxide to be released into the air and just exacerbate the problem?  ROTFL..  man, what an idiot this guy is.  Maybe he should head down to Venezuela and hang out with Chavez and Sean Penn.

That way he could actually make buddies with Chavez, who I'm sure would be more than happy to execute a few guys for him for denying global warming, just as he's been more than happy to execute reporters who point out he's a thug and a dictator rather than a democratically elected leader of anything.

If they didn't pass no viagra, I can't figure out what they would pass.

I could use one- the Sears catalog in the outhouse is almost gone.

Yet I don't remember any laws saying you couldn't criticize them and my friend is saying there are new laws saying you can criticize them or take their pictures.

Yeah, a new law. We borrowed the language from the soviets er chinese er north koreans

Well, there was that whole McCain-Feingold thing that made it illegal for non-LSM folk to criticize McCain and his friends (other incumbents) 60 days from an election.  To be fair, though, I don't think they used fabricated death threats as a reason to get that passed.  They just didn't like criticism from the unwashed if it could hurt their re-election chances.

Comrades all is well with the economy

March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Initial jobless claims fell to the lowest level in six weeks as the rebound in the economy encourages companies to make fewer cuts in payrolls.

First-time jobless applications declined by 14,000 to 442,000 in the week ended March 20, lower than anticipated, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The number of people receiving unemployment increase decreased, and those getting extended benefits also fell.

See comrades, there are less of you to lay off and more of you have run out of benefits so all is well with the economy all thanks to Comrade Chairman Obama.

Let me guess, the bra and panty pages are the ones that are left!

Probably the banks know if they can forclose they can sell it for more than what is owed when inflation kicks in. It's not much of a gamble when you factor in the B+rry Bucks. Plus, the banksters can sit on the loans while they get TARP money....a program that is now permanent. Crony capitalism at its finest. Bush had nothing on these people.

1) Less disposable income

2) This kind of a big fucking deal.

3) New house!

Dummy? Are you really back? My favorite troll punching bag!

With people paying less for healthcare and being more productive at work because they're not sick and money going into their pockets instead of fat cat bankers dont you think affordable housing with be within reach of all??!??!

Rotflmao - Ok, where do you even start with this lunacy?  Well, first of all this monstrosity will most definately not have people paying less for healthcare.  When you increase taxes on medical equipment that means hospital costs go up, no down.  If hospital costs go up, they in turn charge more for their services, not less.  If hospitals charge more, they pass that cost along to the insurance companies, who in turn raise their rates.

It's simple math their genius.  Now add to that the fact that insurance companies will have to start issuing polices to people after they find out that they already have a huge, costly, expensive medical condition and guess what, insurance prices go up even more. 

And blaming the "fat cat bankers" for the housing crisis is astoundingly ignorant.  Think about it einstien.  If you own a bank, would you loan money to someone who you were pretty sure wouldn't be able to pay it back?  Of course not, that would be stupid.  So, the only way you'd loan somebody like that money is if the government forced you to, citing some idiotic notion of social justice.

Now that your stuck with all this bad paper, you can either eat the cost yourself or try to sell it off.  Most decided to try to sell it off and minimize their losses.  Shazam.. a few years of this nonsense and you have the housing crisis, thanks almost entirely to Barney Frank and his fellow Dem's providing all sorts of cover for Freddie and Fanny and their ridiculously dangerous business practices.

So, do the world a favor, pull your head out of your ass, move out of your mom's basement and get a real job.  Then after a few years of paying outrageous amounts of the tax burden you might actually be somewhat qualified to speak on the subject.

If your that worried about someone else's healthcare or housing situation then crack open your own wallet and give them your own money for a change.  Keep your filthy mitts off of mine.

Double dips....

we are talking about O-bow-ma and Plugs, right...?

Ace,

You're missing the discussion about the upcoming peak in Alt-A and Option ARM loan rate resets that are going to cause a new peak in foreclosures like the sub-prime rate resets did.  These two loans are similar to subprimes and take advantage of people with poor income and credit.  If you're interested here is an article talking about it.
