Thanks for keeping all the members of a horse racing board informed joeydb...you do a great job. Can't wait for more threads...knowledge is power.

You are one of those RepbliFUKs that enjoy peoples misery in this economy just so you can bash Obama. Boo on you Joey.

Hey, if you want to contact someone CREATING the misery, call the White House switchboard.

Hello,this is the White House.




How we may we fucl< you today?

Wait till labor day when he announces he's going all in on construction jobs and unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits to save the country on Labor Day! :tro:

Not a dime will go towards paying down the debt or even partially funding Social Security. Ponzi don't play that game. With economic prowess like that just ignore the creditors calls and letters and our credit rating.

But in all fairness isn't this poll akin to 'Do you approve of the methods John Wayne Gacy used to killed his victims?' ;)

Post the numbers for Congress, Joey ;)

26%. Since when has 26% of the population been black? Check out Water's comments this week?

^^^^ Another reason why Velvet should have opted to remain silent---and let others parse doubt.

Oh, they are of course terrible too. And have been. At one point a couple of years ago, Congress' approval was 9%.

But they don't all get elected at the same time (2/3 of the Senate is safe) and a national poll on the Congress as a whole doesn't make a good predictor for any particular congressman or senator in their district or state, respectively.

So, bottom line, the approval/disapproval poll is a better predictor for the president (in any year) than the Congress. His office is national, just like the poll, and there's only one of him.

The Maxine Waters clip made me think of this...

Hasn't the problem all along been his unwillingness to leave the bull rightfully slaughtered?

If anything -- since day #1 -- he should be shown watching the bull fed and injected with every steroid you can think of.

The stock market Index's have all surged incredibly higher since he took office ... where was the dow at on his inaug day -- 7K? Where is it now -- like 11K?

Sometimes accepting some severe short-term pain is the best thing for the long run.

The patient needs open heart surgery -- it needs to feel the deep and depressing pain. It needs to hurt. It needs to suffer. It needs misery. But it will be better off for it.

It doesn't need daily injections of pain killers, other feel good drugs, and steroids.

Just let it suffer and get out of its way. If it means innocent people have to suffer along with it --- and suffer worse than those who caused the problem --- that's perfect.

Good Post Drugs (or who ever it is that hacked in to your Nerdy Trail account).

For what it's worth you are right about the market, but the feeling is, that it's a lot of foreign money that's come in and have brought/supported it to it's current levels.

As far as your open heart surgery analagy, I think that's what's currently happening with the economy. The president has tried his injections, steriods and so on and it really hasn't worked. He needs to find a medicine that stimulates job growth. Unfortunately, many people that are suffering are the middle class types working more than one job, trying to keep up on a mortgage that is probably under water. These people do not get any type of relief from the government and are suffering.

For the record, I just posted the picture because I thought it was funny. But I look at the bull representing more of the overall economy than just the stock market. I understand that it's not all his fault and even though his was dealt a crummy hand, I think he hasn't played those cards very well.

As my brother Dave always tells the strippers when we go to Partners ... "hey, he's got about $200,000" ... can't keep it all in 0.50% bank accounts - or stashed away in the back pages of old American Racing Manuels from the 1970's. Have to try and micro manage away.





For the record, I liked the Obama Kidnap Plot better...
