KEEPING COUNT: 150 AND CLIMBING !

I have never defended Boehner; you are the kool aid drinkers, not me.

Again, why did Obama not include any GOP ideas ?

Like getting rid of the Medical Device Tax ? A tax that Sen. Reid called "stupid".....

my ruling:

fuck em.

Translation:

You can't defend the indefensible........I understand.

Now ask yourself, why would Obama be so intransigent on this single issue; a tax that destroys well paying jobs for Americans.

The following represents the total performance of the Dow Jones Industrial under Obama's watch:

November 11, 2013 the Dow closed at 15,783.10.

Inauguration Day 2009, the Dow opened at 8279.63.

That is a difference of 7503.47. (In case JD Idiot's twin brother IB has not been paying attention the difference is very close to the total value of the Dow on the day Obama took office.)

It appears to me that the Dow has done quite well since Obama first took office!

Of special note: On November 11, 2013 the Dow "Rises 21.32 to close at 15,783.10, this is the historical DJIA closing high." Originally Posted by bigtex

Again, what you are stating is 100% irrelevant to me. Obama was not in office in 2007. Bush was and the market crashed under him. When Obama took office I had "x" dollars in my 401k. Today I have "2x" dollars in my 401k, not counting additional contributions I have made to the 401k. Whether or not you give Obama credit for that is also irrelevant to me. My personal financial situation has improved dramatically since Obama took office. That is of primary importance to me. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

As of today, President Obama has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in, .... . Originally Posted by timpage

I guess, it depends on how one defines "vacation" ....

.... Obaminable's "vacation" began when he was sworn in 2009....and it just continues.

If it weren't for Joe Biden, I would recommend early retirement. That's his best insurance.

Again, that is irrelevant. You are right in that my 401k took a huge hit in 2008 when GWB was in office. The question is how your investments have done since Obama took office in 2009? I doubt my success story is singular. Anyone who had money invested in the stock market when Obama took office should be MUCH better off today than back then.

The House members are doing what their voters told them to do;

Go to Washington and fight Obamacare, fight big government, fight spending we can't afford, fight the Obama war on the middle class !

Gridlock is good if the alternative is Obama implementing radical transformation of America - as he told us he would do.

Which explains why Obama wants a tax on medical devices that kill well paying manufacturing jobs for the American Middle Class. A tax that even Harry Reid thinks is "stupid".

What does that tell you ?

Sure....

But answer my question: Why is Obama being so intransigent on a medical device tax that kills manufacturing jobs in the US ? A tax that even Harry Reid says is stupid.

FACT JACK

Of course it is; and you don't think higher taxes on an industry effects the employees in that industry ?

But don't take my word for it idiot; read what Democrat Evan Bayh think...

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...12281306687070

But in summary he says:

"Congress must move quickly to redress the harm from this tax before it becomes irreversible."

But Obama (and Reid) won't reverse it......

Again, why is Obama waging war against manufacturing and medical technology jobs in America ?

CBJ7 is incapable of thought that runs critical of Obama. Every time he has a thought that is not 100% the Obama line, the big Obamatron in Chicago sends out a pulse that shocks him, and corrects the thought.

FACT JACK!
