Technically, Ryan, the housing market for existing homes resales started it’s uptick in January. New construction… a big indicator for housing recovery and growth… is still in the toilet.

When the housing market recovers, the economy also gets it’s boost. Obama had nothing to do with that… it was a natural cycle to occur. Now we wait for the big Congressional/Obama spending to start the inflation, which will trigger rate increases, which will again kill the housing market.

Having lived in Hawaii, I know how much those leis cost, at least $35 EACH. I wonder how many of the attendees received one on the taxpayers dime! Of course, that doesn’t include the shipping! My son ordered/paid for one for his friends Sweet 16 b-day luau. The lei was $36.50 and another $17 for Fedex shipping. Nice to see my hard earned dollars at work benefiting the good ‘ol USofA!

No Ryan. When Bush took office, he “inherited” a recession from Pres Clinton, pushed for tax cuts, and the recession went away. Then there was another recession after the 911 attacks (caused by those attacks), and another recession that started in 2007 when Democrats took Congress and made Bush a lame duck. Hope that helps

Scott said: “Six months into that recession, President Bush’s tax cuts had almost ended it. Six months into President Obama’s recession, his economic policies have statistically made things worse, and his efforts show absolutely ZERO hint of making things better”

I’ve never heard that before. So the recession was almost coming to an end and when Obama took office it started worsening again? Please give me some clarity. I am sorry if I had misconstrued what you were trying to get across, but this is what I am getting when I read the statement I quoted up above. Thanks.

“Help me out here, is an Obama voter dumber than the post or the hole?”

Trick question- the obvious answer is neither.

The voter, like the object of his worship, are both dumber than the dirt.

…. Yes, but he has just figured out that he can’t negotiate with Iranian leadership, so what else is there to do when you’re just, …. hmm…. happy.

Says he, ….. “There is no doubt that any direct dialogue or diplomacy with Iran is going to be affected by the events of the last several weeks.”

This is news to the White House and Hillary’s State Department? They thought they were going to negotiate with thugs?

……… sigh!

The Magic Half Kenyan throws one hell of a party, still campaigning, hasn’t learned to govern but spends tax payer bucks on his Partisan gatherings because nothing is too good for Mama Obama’s little boy.

Did he invite any unemployed folks or wounded Military from Walter Reed or Bethesda?
Hell no. They can’t serve the Agenda or contribute any enough cash.

Self Indulgent pretty much sums it up pdill. At least he hasn’t rented out the Lincoln Bedroom by the hour like a Louisiana cathouse yet…

Buying an ice cream for your kids what Fathers do. Nationalizing Banks, the Auto Industry, killing
Private Health Care, demanding resignation of Private Sector Executives, controlling pay for Private Industry Execs, firing Agency IGs and cutting missile defense is what America hating Socialists do.

Lets make Him unemployed and homeless in 2012. He can party on his tab then.

“…Obama Holds Luau”

Hey, he’s working. And if Porky Pelosi’s monster comes to life, it will do VASTLY more financial harm than our enemies did on 9/11.

Apart from being a bureaucratic nightmare, it will destroy the personal wealth of average Americans.
