#1 As for criticism that his policies are anti-business, Obama said they've helped businesses be profitable, and stabilized financial markets.

Banks can borrow money to by T-Bills; great, just great. Dead is stable too.

#2 He said that "the most important thing we can do right now is grow our economy."

And the 4-6 million new or saved jobs that you spoke about nearly two years ago..... where might they be Mr. President?

Deleveraging with a twist

he should know, he's the main cause, and NOT helping.

#6 You know, no one believes anything the BHO says anymore. He talks too much and does nothing. The economists who said the recession is over come across as being in the government pocket. They ought to demand the money back which they spent becoming "experts" and find another line of work.

#9 Obama repeated that the current economic difficulty is the result of the previous administration

Didn't this imperialistic POS say something just last month that the time for blame was past and it was a whole new ball game?

Or some other such bullsh!t?

I get sooooo tired of listening to his constant whine; it's like tinitius that comes from an outside source.

#10 The Economy started going south the day the Democratic Congress took over in 06 and refused to enact any sort of housing (Freddie / Fanny) regulation.

#12 Wait now...previous administration, 8 years, is at fault but this has been 10 years in the making?

I like it when he scolds the press corpse about what programs to cut. The easy answers would be pork projects and not expanding the health care wing of government, but how can we know since the Democrats failed to make a budget. And his down with the middle class struggle talk he gave when he faked reading note cards in between teleprompter volleys. Soo cool.

And the hair, wonderfult. Like a just for men commercial. "This look says I'm young and down with the struggle." "Well this look says I'm wise and can solve the Middle East."

Sounds petty when someone else does it, eh? At least he didn't say teabagger or flip the bird.

#14 Obama says U.S. economy "still hurting"

What the man really meant to say is "Damn, it's not dead yet?" How can they put in place total central state planning and programming while there is still life in the sucker?

#15 "The hole was so deep that a lot of people out there are still hurting"

Hole? I thought it was a ditch.

Or is a ditch a really-long hole?

#16 ION TOPIX/RENSE > {News.com.au] US GOVT. HIDING AMOUNT OF DEBT["ENRON Accounting", US GOP-DEM = USG ESTABLISHMENT LOVE OF EXCESSIVE OR OVER-&&& SPENDING REGARDLESS OF THE MERITS/LOSSES].

Aka US GOVT. LOVE TO "SPEND-FOR-SPENDING'S-SAKE"???

ARTIC > To wit,
* US CBO Figures = US Debt in 1980 was US$909.0BILYUHN or roughly 33% of USGDP at that time.

* Come YEAR 2012 [2016] = US Debt anticipated to rise to US$16.4TRILYUHN of US GDP or 100% of US GDP.

* BOSTON UNIVERSITY'S LAURENCE KOTLIKOFF > believes TRUE US DEBT is as highas US$200.0TRILYUHN [all causes].

COMPARED TO

PERT ANDREW MOYLAN > believes TRUE US debt is US$60.0TRILYUHN.

BOTH PERTS AGREE THAT ALREADY DIRE US SPENDING HABITS WILL ONLY GET WORSE [IIUC, likely due to USGovt's = Politician's inability to stop themselves].

ALL TOGETHER NOW, WID FEELING > D **** NGED 2013 = SOLAR FLARES!
