Has anyone in the history of life managed to eff something up so bad as that worthless rough ridin' halfbreed in the oval office? Amazing that someone can destroy everything in his path and even more amazing that stupid rough ridin' motherfuckers would vote for a worthless rough ridin' piece of crap like this and support him. No wonder we all deserve to die...a country supporting a rough ridin' worthless piece of rough ridin' crap that kills every freedom any citizen has and supports anything his fellow unemployed lazy rough ridin' nogs tells him

I don't believe this is a USA Today article, the font is too small.

Yeah, dead giveaway.

What story are you sluring about?

does anyone read this thing? it seems like anytime i have an opportunity to pick up a USA Today there is a WSJ or NYT nearby so i go with one of those instead.

USA Today caters to the lowest common denominator, so I would imagine it sells more copies nationally than any other newspaper.

Insider tip: USA Today is viewed as the paper of "the masses". Important as an indicator.

ah yes, of course. that makes sense with the colors and all. i've really never read the thing except off of the subway floor. also should be noted that it ranks the cats at 21 instead of 18.

i would like to think that most people only read the usa today when they stay in a hotel.

did bigwillie20 just call our president a "worthless rough ridin' halfbreed"? Can we get the "racist piece of crap" tag below his name already? =Mods?=

I like how people complain about all their freedoms being taken away when, in most cases, their day to day life is not effected at all

on the other hand, being very stupid affects the crap out of your day to day life. but it's hard for people to blame themselves, so they blame the halfbreed president. bigwillie20, you are very stupid.

If people are constantly complaining about a fictional loss of freedom, I find it hard to believe they don't notice and actual one going away.

i thought he was flagged as "racist piece of crap" at some point? maybe it was something else, maybe it's just my brain filling stuff in. i feel kinda let down now that i know it doesn't say anything.

I like Dougie and pike and heinzballz and even kstatefreak42. IRL I really appreciate people who have really thought out their beliefs. I don't agree with them and on a message board it is easy to flame, but I like that they have thought about it and they care. I prefer idealistic and wrong (imo) to ignorant. I dislike the tendency of people who disagree to call their opposites ignorant, though.

I feel like there are more conservitard posters around here than those mentioned above, but they tend to avoid the pit so as not to get PI'd back to the stone age by the hordes of vehement libtards here at gE.c

Has nothing to do with being racist, has to do with our president being the most worthless rough ridin' waste of rough ridin' crap in the White House in the history of life...single-handedly ran this country straight into the rough ridin' ground. :lol: at racist piece of crap...if he was white he would still be a rough ridin' worthless waste of life

you've said "rough ridin'" or "crap" 13 times in your last 4 posts. we can't help you with your depression/debt/relationship issues if we can't understand you.

But would he still be a half breed if he was white, that's the question.

He is what he is, black, white, green, purple...who gives a eff. Somebody please try to make an argument on anything he has done worth a crap other than running this country further into debt, yanking away what little freedoms we have left, and being an overall worthless rough ridin' piece of crap that contributes nothing but evil to the country

Just off the top of my head:
Ended the war in Iraq The timeline for troop withdraw was implemented by Bush during his last term.
Created national fuel emissions standards sounds good but CAFE standard were already 35mpg by 2020. He increased it to 35.5 by 2016.
Invested heavily in alternative energy Largely a failure that cost taxpayers millions in failed loans to cronies
Passed significant health care reform To be determined, so far costing ratepayers millions in higher premiums
Killed Osama bin Laden Thank you rendition
Ended Don't Ask Don't Tell OK
Set a timeline to end the war in Afghanistan To be determined. Should have ended it in 2009
Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act OK
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it more consumer friendly Not sure what this means
Created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau No effect
Extended Bush tax cuts for 99% of Americans Thank you GWB
Cut future spending by over a trillion dollars over the next ten years LOL
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court All appointments should be based on the record of following the constitution, not views on abortion, but whatever
Issued executive orders for gun reform OK
Signed a jobs bill for veterans OK
Expanded tax breaks for small businesses 18 times in his first term Most of these were extensions from previous administrations, and others have already expired.
Signed a free trade agreement with South Korea and a couple other countries OK
Saved the auto industry It would be more robust now if he had let them go through reorganization using existing laws. Screwed most bond holders.
Helped bring the country out of its worst recession since the Great Depression Still suffering
Signed Dodd Frank into law Doesn't work, same crap still going on
Became the first US President to support gay marriage He was against it before he was for it. Glad he saw the light (for votes).
Recently endorsed immigration reform LOL, wut?

Passed significant health care reform To be determined, so far costing ratepayers millions in higher premiums Up to 50 million people now will have access to health care. It's a huge accomplishment for millions of Americans.
Killed Osama bin Laden Thank you rendition Not sure what this means, but Obama gave our military the authority to raid bin Laden in Pakistan, something that McCain said he wouldn't do if he were President.
Ended Don't Ask Don't Tell OK
Set a timeline to end the war in Afghanistan To be determined. Should have ended it in 2009 No, the timeline is set for 2014. That's a fact.
Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act OK
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it more consumer friendly Not sure what this means Really? What was so confusing? http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/obama-signs-credit-card-law-1282.php (http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/obama-signs-credit-card-law-1282.php) The law limits when credit card interest rates can be increased on existing balances and allows consumers whose interest rates have been increased to reduce their annual percentage rates (APRs) to previous levels if they've been good and paid their bills on time for six months.
Created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau No effect Bullshit. Provide a link if you want to make that claim.
Extended Bush tax cuts for 99% of Americans Thank you GWB Obama is the one who extended the tax cuts. He wasn't required to do so.
Cut future spending by over a trillion dollars over the next ten years LOL Actually it's closer to 1.5 trillion. http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/budget/news/2013/01/08/49137/the-deficit-reduction-we-have-achieved-so-far/ (http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/budget/news/2013/01/08/49137/the-deficit-reduction-we-have-achieved-so-far/)
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court All appointments should be based on the record of following the constitution, not views on abortion, but whatever They were based on their record of following the Constitution. I just think it's good that we have two pro-choice justices on the Supreme Court to help protect women's rights.
Issued executive orders for gun reform OK
Signed a jobs bill for veterans OK
Expanded tax breaks for small businesses 18 times in his first term Most of these were extensions from previous administrations, and others have already expired. They didn't have to be extended. Facts are facts.
Signed a free trade agreement with South Korea and a couple other countries OK
Saved the auto industry It would be more robust now if he had let them go through reorganization using existing laws. Screwed most bond holders. Hindsight is 20/20. No one other than the government had the capital to support GM in a traditional bankruptcy. The entire financial sector was on the brink of collapse as well.
Helped bring the country out of its worst recession since the Great Depression Still suffering We're not losing 800,000 jobs a month like we were during the peak of the recession. The housing market has stabilized, the stock market is nearing record highs, and the unemployment rate is steady.
Signed Dodd Frank into law Doesn't work, same crap still going on At least someone has made an effort to reform Wall Street. Dodd Frank has its flaws, but progress is being made.
Became the first US President to support gay marriage He was against it before he was for it. Glad he saw the light (for votes). He changed his mind, and if anything, he most likely initially opposed gay marriage in order to win the '08 election. African-American voters are very anti-gay marriage.
Recently endorsed immigration reform LOL, wut?

Labor Force Participation is at or near record lows, underemployment is still very high, job growth is not keeping up with population growth.
One thing I do enjoy about the times we live in: During the previous administration every single problem this country had was laid at the feet of the Executive Branch. Under the current administration, all issues this country faces are either 1. Caused by the previous administration. 2. Caused by another branch of government. 3. Becaue of another political party. The current administration owns nothing nearly 5 years into their tenure.
It's even more interesting in light of the fact that Democrats controlled Congress from 2006 to 2010, and the acceleration of the bad during that time, far outweighed the good.
Given the current administrations extensive acceleration of the previous administrations quest for executive powers . . . it's not going too far out on a limb to say that this administration is the cause of the "new normal" unemployment rate of 8%, record numbers of disenfranchised workers/jobs seekers and near all time lows in labor force participation.

You try to pretend like you're this libertarian voice of hope and freedom, but you're really just anti-Obama. It's as transparent as the skin of Manti Teo's fake girlfriend. There are a number of reasons for the drop in the labor force participation rate, but it's a waste of time to get into it with you because you'll just accuse me of defending Obama and the Democrats, when in reality, the economy is complex and life in the United States is different today than it was back when all of you baby boomers started working.
-
good heavens beems doing work, citations and all.
i don't think some realize all of the factors that go into unemployment rate. it's nice to say that unemployment is rising/at record highs, but it's also nice to say that's not considering non-work-necessity citizens(ie handicapped or privileged), 'illegal' type work, some reports even dare to include students... small examples of how some reports are misleading.
or the fact that while the current rate around 8% is high, having unemployment in a country is a necessity. and one reason it's so high is because of structural changes, in manufacturing, design, etc. we're at a point where there's a threshold of workers who are too "invested" or too, old, if you will, to be retrained for work, and a younger, more appropriately trained generation is busting through, hence why engineering, math, and sciences related degrees are selling right now.

Only Beems would enter a thread to talk up how influential and effective the Pres is, then 180 and say he has no control over the economy. What a goon.
Also, LOL at the apologists, "the economy just got really complicated in 2009, there's nothing anyone could do". The economy has, and always will be too complex for them, at least until a republican is pres again.

Hey everybody, the economy is complex.
Okay, here's what's going on with the LFPR. The number of unemployed workers who are discouraged by their job search and drop out of the labor force has basically doubled since the start of the recession. Another important factor is an aging population. The baby boomers are aging, and as a result, the population is getting older and more people are retiring.

The aging of the population accounts for about half the decline in the LFPR over the past several years. This graph shows the current trend in LFPR by age group:

There has also been a fundamental change in the labor markets that will probably never change because of globalization and the outsourcing of certain industries.

Fyi bmw,
The old people are retiring talking point was destroyed in a thread a couple of months ago.
The manufactured excuses for Obama's failures are cute though. Keep em coming, skwawk. BaaaaKaaaw

The aging population data is empirical information. It's not disputable.

Actually the 55 and above age bracket is the only think keeping Labor Force Participation from shattering all time record lows.

A higher percentage of the population belongs to the baby boomers, so there are more people retiring even as the workforce ages.

55 and above work force participation has actually grown significantly, writing it off as simply retiree's is, dare I say, fool's gold.

I'm not writing anything off simply due to retirees. The empirical data shows that about 1.0% of the decrease in LFPR over the past several years can be attributed to more of the labor force retiring. Go back and look at the graphs I posted about five posts ago. They show exactly what we're talking about.

That's only about 1/3 of the nearly 3 point drop over the last decade, only about 1/2 of the drop since Obama took office, and as I said, if it weren't for increased Labor Force Particpation by those 55 and above, the decline would be even more significant.

You're basically agreeing with everything I've said. What's your point? The baby boomers make up a larger percentage of the labor force and the participation rate is dropping due to more people retiring. There is also a higher percentage of older workers because again, the baby boomers make up a higher percentage of the workforce. We actually need more to retire so that young people out of college have more jobs available.

You just don't seem to get the fact that it's the baby boomers re-entering the workforce that's keeping the labor particpation rate from shattering all time record lows.
You also don't seem to get that half or more of the people that the government by decree has moved out of labor force participation (thus absolving themselves of having to count them in the unemployment numbers) are NOT baby boomers.

This is a pretty great time to be young with a degree, really.

Only about a quarter of the workforce decrease is due to retirement. The numbers are really horrible beems, and it isn't getting better.

You are arguing with me just for the sake of arguing. You're so caught up in this false dichotomy between right and left that you don't even realize when you're agreeing with someone. I pointed out about a dozen posts ago that the LFPR drop is due to several factors, including an increase in retirees and an increase in discouraged unemployed workers who have left the labor force altogether. The change in the structure of the labor markets has also had a big effect.

BMW, I gave you an FYI that this talking point was a loser, yet here you are, loser.
