Is Obama already working on his concession speech for 2012?

Yep, Obama can fix the economy/country singled handed ... :
The USA is a belligerant country ... War is their heart ... and drives their soul ...But the GOP-dominated chamber will soon resume its budget-slashing ways as it kicks off debate Tuesday on a food and farm spending bill that cuts aid for low-income pregnant women and their children and slashes a key overseas food aid program by about one-third below this year?s funding.
At the same time, the Appropriations Committee is set to approve a $649 billion measure that slightly boosts the Pentagon?s operating budget [...]
Once money is added for programs like defense, veterans and homeland security, spending on domestic programs like food aid for the poor, education, health care and housing subsidies falls to levels where lawmakers are going to find it difficult. After a $17 billion increase for the Pentagon is factored in, domestic agencies and foreign aid programs would absorb cuts of $47 billion that would translate into cuts averaging about 10 percent.
Obama has not kept his promises , but I doubt there was any chances of keeping them ... Now the republicans are grand-standing on the 'wars ' ... but where were they near 10 years and 8 years ago ?I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

Keep up the good work. When you wake up and actually have something to say, let me knowCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

First, none of that would spark job growth... not a single bit of it.
Second, it's NOT $538 BILLION, at all... Notice the dates above are 2005, 4, 6, etc.. some of those budgets over lap as well.
Then, if you want illegals out of Medicare and Welfare, it means MORE Gov regulations and people, by 10,000's of people. So maybe it would grow jobs, but not in the area you want... ie: more gov!
Then if you want Obama to remove them from the schools and prisons, he will need to over step the power of the States, basically step on the Constitution.
Finally, most of what you listed Obama can't do shit about anyway, so it's simply pointless to include, again like the Prisons.
And that's before the FACT that Illegals also generate income, taxes, don't all take from the system, many business owners, with legal employees, others that work to become legal, etc... you take out the bad, you remove the plenty of good that comes with them as well.
So basically more stimulus projects to force job growth? Who's going to replace the buying power that illegals consume? Our tax dollars?Last edited by TheDoc; 06-14-2011, 03:07 PM.

Doesn't fed jobs include military growth?Originally posted by Jesus H ChristI'm sure he's going win again, but he'll never fix the economy. He simply does not have the skill set because he's never ran a business or held a serious job in his life or anyone else in his cabinet for that matter. He simply can not lead or fix our financial problems solely with an academic background, period. WTS, even if he ran a fortune 500 company he still couldn't fix our problems because we are too far gone.
He's too worried about losing votes as tough decisions were desperately needed to fix our financial problems in the early stages. In short, he wasted his time on healthcare rather then getting investor and financial confidence back. I understand that presidents can walk and chew gum at the same time, but he's made too many stupid mistakes.
Like what most Americans haven't a clue about.
Private sector jobs -9%
State & Feds Jobs +3%
In short, anyone who runs a business would know you'd never increase your overhead when you're running so deeply in the red.
I know State wise, very little Obama can do other than suggest ideas, force of hand wise, he has no power.
America has never ran like an actual business, it's not setup anything like a business, at any point. Which is why a president doesn't need to have a business background to successful run things.

Then we've been at war with Pakistan for like, 8 years now then? You know, someone should probably tell Pakistan, they might be interesting in knowing we're at war with THEM.

Well they can't go into schools or hospitals and take them out, Obama can't overstep Congress.
When they break the law, they normally do get sent back home. They enforce the law all over, more under Obama than any President in history, related to illegals.
Constitution..... Schools and Prisons are State controlled. Obama has no power over them.
Fed wise, they're federal controlled, corporate or state owned.
So killing money flow in a down economy isn't relevant? What about all the LEGAL Mexican Americans that send home countless millions?
I bet in the State of NY they send almost nothing compared to Arizona. I bet even less in Oklahoma where it's criminal to hire illegals and the economy has dumped to complete shit because they can't get legal Americans to take the jobs.
Did you ask them how many where legal Americans vs. illegals sending to Mexico? I don't care if every American sent them money... but I'm a 100% sure no WU person knows if the person is legally here or not.Last edited by TheDoc; 06-14-2011, 03:41 PM.

The war machine makes profit for American corporations, not the Gov.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristWars are not profitable and why were in debt in the first place. Is Germany, Japan, or Vietnam, Iraq, Pakistan, paying any taxes into our system? No
Second, these are federal jobs NOT military jobs. Have you ever met a soldier or privatemilitary contractor who says they work directly for the Federal Government? In short, that's an allotted military budget, not counted in the Federal job increase statistics.
They get....wait for it... Federal tax dollars to support programs like homeland security etc.
You've said some crazy shit before but this is one of your best. Of course the US is setup and ran like a business otherwise, why the fuck would corporations and our populace pay State and federal income tax? Why would there be a Federal reserve? Why would we print dollars or issue TB with an interest rates? Why do you think we have embassies in other countries? - for lost tourists?
Military growth, I didn't say Military JOBS... our war machine is like 20x bigger than it was 8 years ago, the fed job growth is related to Military, they are private citizens that get hired.
Great example, Homeland security has grown like mad.
What corporations charges it's employees income tax and collects it and if they don't pay it, goes and collects it and then taxes them on the money they spend, move, etc? What corp has a banking system for employees to loan money on interest that can be loaned out to others? What corp prints money?
Oh how about this one... have you ever seen a corp never do it's books? Hello fed reserve.

I for one, would love to see an administration realize that we are not all clung to the governments tit, and do not need their assistance at every turn. Some of us have made their own way and do quite well, thank you.

Congress approved nothing. You keep ignoring that fact. Approving to be in the UN and NATO does not give the president the right to break the constitution.The House of Representatives took a majority vote against any further funding for U.S. involvement in Libya.
According to AFP, the numbers were 163 to 248 against.
The decision comes after President Obama both began the Libya campaign in March and prolonged it without congressional approval.
