    Secretary of Business let guess who the Head of this circle jerk would be? My first guess would be "One of the 21% Unemployed Black Dude"

    This is all I need another Goverment Dept. dedicated to increase my business potentional failure .... And to run this Dept of Clueless Bastard the Fed. will taxes any and all increase in sale above 2009 average.

    in a nutshell, a 2nd Obama term would be like Henry the VIII. 2nd verse -- same as the first

    So true. Too bad so many people blindly follow the economic flyweight in the WH.

    I think this thread only having a handful of posts tells us about Obama's 2nd term agenda. There really isn't anything to talk about.

    The majority of kool-aid drinkers on this board can't make a rational case to vote for Obama, so they drink-up all the BS attacks on Romney. It's easier to ignore Obama's record if you ignore what the other guy is really about. They will essentially believe anything negative about Romney so long as it enables them to avoid focusing on the abysmal failure that occupies the WH.

    From the looks of things, that describes the typical Obama voter. At least the ones that blindly check "Dem" don't need to justify their choice by slamming Romney.

    Obama is not an abysmal failure by almost any measure. It's not even worth the effort anymore because you just stomp your feet and so "dA guy in da white h0use is a fail."

    The small keynesian stimulus ended the recession and prevented a depression. Following Romney's advice under similar circumstances would've resulted in a deeper recession and we wouldn't even have the slow recovery we have now...just like Great Britain. If 2012 were at full employment, 63% of the population would be working but we have 58.6%. We have 58.2% of the population working in 2009 and would have 60% of the population working if the American Jobs Act had been passed...in addition to an extra percentage point of economic growth...bringing us back to the long term growth rate.

    Additionally, he passed Bob Dole's healthcare plan that gets 30 million more people insurance, has begun to stem the tide in healthcare cost inflation and prevents people from not being able to get health insurance because they got sick; oversaw >60% increase in the S&P, fought for incredible amounts of tax relief for middle income workers and set the stage for a green economy.

    Any republican who got that much done would be being considered for Sainthood.

    He's earned four more years on a reasonable metric and it's good to see more reasonable endorsements reflect this fact (i.e. economist, bloomberg, etc).

    Stem the cost of healthcare? Did you get your HR benefits summary this year? Mine went up 15%.

    BS that whole post reeks of your initials.

    So the first stimulus didn't work and was supposed to be a jobs act. Then he wants a second jobs act and you KNOW that one would have fixed the unemployment problem?

    Stop drinking the look aid, and last I checked health care costs are only getting worse after the ACA.

    Yes he has. Worst recovery on record in modern times. He came off a deep recession - finding good news should have been fish in a barrel. And it's certainly NOT because he couldn't spend enough money. That keynesian dog don't hunt.

    You keep defending him. And it's telling - just like I said - that you really can't defend the record and so of course you launch into some bs about what Romney hypothetically would do and how that hypothetically wouldn't be as effective (or I guess more ineffective, to be technical).

    It's comical. If Obama were a white Repub he's losing this election by 20 points.
