Better Off Under Bush

Whose story from the hill and again to -- on talk about the campaign I think I think it's going 18774694322. Democrats expressing buyer's remorse -- Obama's health kuril. An increasing number of Democrats are taking potshots at president Obama's health care law ahead of -- Supreme Court decision could overturn it. The public grievances of come from centrists and liberals and reflect rising anxiety ahead of November's elections. I think we -- all been -- -- our President Obama politically Democrats in congress politically in the nation would have been better off of we have dealt first with the financial system and the other related economic issues in the compact health care. -- it represented Brad Miller who's retiring at the end of this congress. The flip three seats in North Carolina by the way to the Republicans concede however Republican legislature. In their also fortifying themselves in the in the legislature so that the Democrats can't get back in for. In the number of years. The wave of misgivings from Democrats began with yes Barney Frank you read that story he said Democrats have paid a terrible price for health care. -- about the United States of America Barney about your constituents. -- Jeff corner in The Washington Times the -- fills in for savage sometimes Obama's disastrous war part about Afghanistan. You know what he uses the Q word quagmire. -- one of those words used to hear a lot when George Bush was Prez why I don't believe however the word quagmire in years maybe cents a George Bush was president. Most Americans no longer support the war why should they al-Qaeda has been smashed Osama bin Laden is -- the country is fracturing along tribal lines the government in Kabul as weak venal and co opt. President Karzai is an -- routinely -- US forces and or urges the quickest withdrawal possible. Afghanistan has revealed another lesson this is -- that are like this or this -- this part of its chrome. Liberalism has made America unable to win a challenging war policy makers are obsessed with international opinion and appeasing local sensitivities. The goal of victory has been trumped by multiculturalism. US soldiers have been fighting under strict rules of engagement in -- enabling the Taliban hide in civilian populated areas with impunity. American military leaders regularly apologized almost. For behavior common and every major war. The war US troops urinate on dead Taliban bodies copies of the Koran were deliberately burned to the US -- the latest scandal involved US picked. US soldiers posing for pictures with the body parts of that suicide bombers. Our leaders while they -- to immediately after the this is not who we are and it's certainly not a -- present. Said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta who really tell that to the greatest generation. Which crushing Nazi Germany and fascist Japan American forces -- to to smoke out Japanese kamikaze fighters -- and -- Many were burned alive others were severely disfigured his retired lieutenant colonel Ralph Peters has pointed out many GI sent Japanese skull has worked gifts to their girlfriends or wives back home. Also America -- -- has a love like -- skull a skull. There's an organized well I only wanna get and what he had what he said he would he would seen a guy from South Carolina have as a souvenir during world war through. Also America carpet bombed Dresden killing thousands of German civilians have we applied today's rules of engagement to World War II Hitler and tojo would have never been defeated. Once -- more Obama reverts to 2008 game plan blame bush. In pushing for a tax increase this week on millionaires mr. Obama's seven -- an unfair impact of tax cuts for the wealthy were enacted during the quote eight years before he took office. White House spokesman argued that mr. Bush's tax policies contributed to global economic -- Is pushed arrangements syndrome still an epidemic in this country apparently yeah Barack Obama thinks it is. Take a look at what happened between 2002008. Mr. Obama told an audience while this week. Instead of faster job growth we have the slowest rob -- and half a century. Really I just saw I just saw a a Chiron on Fox News Channel. You don't -- job manufacturing jobs have been lost since of Barack Obama became president. 1248000. Manufacturing jobs lost now. We may have it slowed job growth under George Bush but at least it was still growing wasn't at. All the people have been added to the disability rolls. All the people out of but dropped out of orbit we've gone from 65% of the adult population and Leo is in the workplace to 63%. That's the only reason the unemployment -- going down. In other -- may go up again. April is when the unemployment rate usually starts going down in the year and -- -- -- saying it megawatts are going up again. Okay meanwhile. Instead of faster job growth we have the slow -- broken half a century -- -- a broad based prosperity the typical American PM we saw their incomes fall by about 6%. -- -- You don't are you better or worse off than you were four years ago quote that could to quote continues. Outsourcing rampant phony financial profits all over the place. Phony financial profits all over the place I was on Wall Street where everybody supports Barack Obama did support Barack Obama. Until we turned on them. Instead of strengthening our economy the entire financial system almost collapsed collapsed we spent the last three and a half years cleaning up after that -- so -- theory did not work out so well. In The Washington Times says so the president is -- -- implicitly that he is fail to improve the economy during his term. A quinnipiac poll released yesterday show that 56% of respondents disapprove of mr. Obama's handling of the economy 38% approve. Another poll released yesterday New York Times CBS again take -- with a grain of salt. Whether they thought and Obama reelection would improve their financial situation 38% said it would have no effect 33% said it would make their situations worse. And 46% are on welfare. That's they said it would improve their economic status they're thinking -- -- gonna get more free Obama box with Perry BT cards. Housing market is depressing America. About this. Just this is from Rasmussen poll. Just 49% of homeowners in America now believe their home is worth more than they paid for. Rasmussen Reports is aspect question for years and it is never fallen below the 50% mark. This represents a sea change in personal finances the challenges or assumptions about the way our army works. Economist measurable lost equity and housing to be in the trillions of dollars but the impact on individual PM wages even greater consider this forty years ago. Then. Bush president. 80% of homeowners bought their home was worth more than they paid for that number fell to 62% last fall and 49%. Today. Adding to the sense of gloom homeowners don't think we hit rock bottom yet just 41% believe that their home will go up and value this year. While -- -- 5% expect further decline these are these good signs for Barack Obama. -- -- -- -- Mean I'm beginning to think he's got he's got a problem you know all these Democrats not running for re election there are all bailing on among keystone. There are all second guessing him on obamacare which you know Ali you know when it would've been helpful if they -- second guess communal before this. This monstrosity was passed and now were now now were -- him by bread. Whether or not gonna have idea continue to have a first world health care system in America or what Obama wants which is a third world health care system. 187746943221877469. 4322 do you think I -- potential combat for a minute epic there were an -- -- an apple about 18774694322. Mike your next with how we cargo ahead Mike. Yeah Ali you know is -- a few minutes ago. I get my vote on whether or not -- doing better it was yet or is to go yes. Or if I'm doing worse than I was. Worried is okay if I do in my car and I drive somewhere. How much it's costing. And what to blame for the increase. In gasoline are deeply in the one it's in the way -- now I don't blame George Bush. You but I mean this is how pathetic his his reelection campaign platform is all we could do was continue to blame George Bush even though. That most people have have moved bond. And then people showed up I mean when you go to the grocery store. Yes I mean I think is more expensive are less expensive. They're more expensive and they continue to grow -- -- every week. Now to one. Don't necessarily would do that would mean I am less. Than I did. We four years ago so I'm spending more. Earnings the last. Because I have less opportunities. I make about the same but again my expenses are higher now than they were four years ago. Right I mean the average person that they this I call this the Ronald Reagan rule. You know and he's -- perfectly and I heard say -- if you're doing better that where. Four years ago -- -- control for the person that's in the White House doing. Worst and you're four years ago is the one to blame he's the top dog now and it's time for a change the way speaking about it because it. Speaking of speaking of people's taxes going up and people who should be voting against Obama -- number four years ago when he was saying. No one I can guarantee you that no one under making under 250000. Dollars a year will have their taxes go up in an Obama administration not -- at nine. How long did it take Mike how would it take Obama raised -- federal tax on cigarettes. Always the key -- it is not -- it dime made -- -- the other two. Put up -- it guy. Well I guess I guess that's what he's gonna say he didn't raise it by at -- -- raised -- but I. It is like there's still 1520%. Of the pop adult population smokes they -- they lied to immediately and screwed immediately they got screwed balloon untapped crude. Before the at cherry blossoms even came out of Washington in 2009. Thanks for the call Mike. 1877469432218774694322. 978 says a -- drive 40000 miles a year for works like by 2000 gallons of gas which now cost me twice as much -- Obama took office. More than twice now it's up it's up close before it was 184. The day he took office were on average 184 and now it's basically four box or it's a little over oh over Bob now. I call this the a bomb attacks LG this mr. press it's -- 339 remember last year they blamed Easter for the slowdown yet they did blame Easter for the slowdown and -- they're blaming the warm weather. Because you know most of the people who would have been laid off and it in -- in January and February because the bad weather they didn't get laid off so they got laid off in March so that's why that that's what the jobs report so disappointing in March. Because of the warm weather. Of course of -- were colder weather than it would be blaming the cold weather for the slowdown in the hiring in March. This guy is the ultimate alibi I. You know the media gives it gives him it makes up excuses for every damn thing he does. You know -- a good column today is. It is -- Jonah Goldberg. -- you talk about how when when the Republicans. When the Republicans get something to scream about like deference than its Hillary Rosen saying that that in Romney never gonna -- asked. They all what's called a distraction at all. This is just a distraction we've got to get back to the big issues of our day like. Sandra fluke kid that says she can't afford to pay nine dollars a month for birth control pills. You know that's it's never a distraction when -- -- when the Democrats. Manufacturing issue Ian your next with how we cargo -- and. -- It you know -- all holes where you richer the old old apartment I've never been -- and all that. I get so confused -- but I think it. What should mention -- or about what you have other politicians. Are resolved shortly -- -- Arctic have of art. -- ordinary -- the world now about alleged. Politicians just politicians are a lot like rats aren't they they know when -- ship is sinking. What are I think from both both parties -- In addition to make a comment from. If you will rotate it be -- -- -- more people beat analysts'. Are willing to take my chances Ian made that we can get people back in the habit of picking pennies up off the street if they you know weren't getting free Obama talks with -- -- because we.

To his Joel Goldberg -- issues verses distractions. Talking about the Hillary Rosen the whole episode was a distraction that was -- like official line almost the moment grosans comments caught fire it was a manufactured controversy. That's what NBC's Chuck Todd said. Katrina vanden fuel costs of the nation said I think this whole debate has been -- this action. And this was the same Katrina vanden who -- who mocked the distraction of Hilary Rosen who annoyed at C Andrew flew a profile in courage to quote speak. Funny how all this distraction and manufactured controversy talk starts when Republicans are benefiting from a distraction. And the pattern continues this week the Romney campaign is rightly distancing so that's distancing itself from some goofy comments by. Rocker Ted Nugent on Q and and -- -- metro. Who seems to cover all Republicans like -- from some foreign land oddly fitting for NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent. Is happily distracted by the story. When Bill Maher HBO's criminally unfunny and -- just you're just there and million dollar or Obama super -- the owner says something idiotic. It's a meaningless distraction. It's nothing new of course -- Meier Wright and Bill Ayers were preemptively -- distractions by the media but it is annoying. Meaningless distraction it's 18 these these bad job numbers meaningless distractions meaning. Rising up food stamp rolls meaningless distraction -- the the the rising number of people on on the disability rolls. They all seem to go out when their unemployment and a month saying people don't belong on the disability rolls of they really are our rock. Our disabled but it's funny how old. Apparently. Disabilities follow in the wake of unemployment checks in. It's amazing it's happened. A million pints may be. In the last the of the number of disabled has toppled in the in the last eight years apple. Why at your next with Howie -- we may talk more about this later on Wyatt your next with how we cargo had a quiet. Undergone acknowledged it letting it ought to talk about the -- known yeah and it did. -- you -- know like a couple of months ago in the Britain rejected it by adopted. Or is that what you're not brought with -- yes. All like and outside and might get better and I support the president but now that. At a different route is letting you know that the Democrat would like that be built. Let's -- they yet there was an -- I saw you had Democrat on fox earlier this early this afternoon a Democrat from Texas. And he said that there are already that that area that the the president is concerned about her claims she's concerned about you know how many pipelines are already running through that area Wyeth. Now I have no idea. Life. Five that's what did this what -- Democrats said that so I mean. How big of a problem can it -- their already five pipelines in that same that same -- remote area. Right yeah I didn't know that -- -- Once. Yeah you're like -- environmental public look like they're birds but it. Now I think it's I think you know we we gotta get that we gotta get movement here I mean we'd -- you know the thing is. If go down eight or ten cents you know it just it just speculation is they keep saying speculation is driving the price up. But the speculation is based on the -- policies. Of the federal government and the end of the federal government is making it extremely difficult if not impossible. To drill on any public lands or bill when he pipelines or -- when he offshore drilling. This speculators are gonna drive the price higher -- there's going to be as much oil coming out of -- the United States of America. So why you know again you can he. Everybody it's it's always everybody else somebody else's fault with this. You know what's he could he could never take a boy I mean he's that you don't get. Ever -- almost all the -- was great you know he's he's always he's a special guy you know. Don't worry about the LS AT you'll get and Harvard Law School -- you know don't worry you don't worry you've never written an article for the Harvard Law Review will make you the editor you know he get. Everything has been handed to -- he's not used that. -- getting. Taken a shot to the Chan he's got to -- last job. Taught your next with Howard cargo I had Todd. How are I don't that I. I think what Mitt Romney's people need to do it stick to -- critical look at what McCain did and how -- tapes played nice split with Obama well. That's how well that worked for Obama he hits -- sky this guy right the jaw. Your point about an -- last just perfect out. Yeah -- -- does he gets really angry at people who -- Being beaten deep cheek -- just brought me and eat and how dare you talk back to where Obama right out your point about this white tourist you know. She had a 300 dollar a year job or he became president and its invasion that that job dried up. And it's no longer even -- to sort out these two people -- everything and to them. And people ran a -- about maybe catapult for all been changed and -- I would guess they would you're talking about Secret Service. I laughed because Obama would -- past he would reveal the cash -- clinic or a committed relationship would be aware. Door and it bothers relationships with the help Obama entered. Right and and other make it now that make it a big deal out of the fact that you see in this the the Democrats a party. You know Mitt Romney's grandfather was a polygamous world you know what that. Obama's. -- was a polygamous. -- But you're at it and they're all just be practical -- -- Lot liberals and right at its its its. He was a polygamous that he had to flee to Mexico. You mean that -- part of Mexico and that she should have his right. Well no I'm against the affirmative action benefit yeah I. Thanks with a call thought. 1877469432218774694322. Mark your next with when cart or at mark. -- and Allie I'd get an update from the western part the state you know you wonder why the number disable the double. You know you guys you know you'll friend -- -- -- -- from sprint. Of course that's the former state -- and I attacks -- man. And I nearly forgot the -- jackets were number yet you know eat on the local. You know -- radio station -- local community college. You know it he's your running he like -- Like I can't restore order could offer up all the all the government goodies out there and our -- Friday morning meanwhile railing against Dodd called it evil -- capitalism. Is the evils of capitalism. And he's got. Check it. Mark check out his pension on The Herald website but he's Albany's. About the evils of capitalism were providing with a pension may be like 35 grand a year you know that's not too bad for guy -- never that a lot of heavy lift them. One nominee you know is -- and we can win not quite well also not you know and about you know. At least we are inevitable Republican my -- like but -- you bought that the Democrats around. You know the static capitalism were -- you know we're all on the same side that we're in unchartered waters now how we. They're not on our side -- want a totally remake -- country. Yeah what what about when Obama you know like you know. Britain has stood by us through these crappy wars I mean these have been tough wars you know in the brits of the weapons they've lost a lot of people. If he goes over any -- up to that to the upgraded to the to the woman runs Argentina. And it doesn't even call the Falkland Islands the Falkland Islands he calls them. But he calls -- but do you suppose the Argentinian name is the -- -- silent. But again. Mr. mr. price smartest guy that was ever president here as a column them Albion asylum which was enough of an insult to the brat she calls -- the man held the Maldives which is in the Indian Ocean mark. He's all I know he's like he slaps our arm. Oldest ally in the face at the same time he makes a complete Jack ass out of himself might not know the name but I pilots. One more thing we're -- the Republican to be brought into the polls he's got you know Obama. Gonna advocate because we cannot wait to vote this guy -- here and I think there's a lot of people out there and appalled Art Shell it. Because the mainstream media polls arguments on this -- close. This is not going to be a close election we got we got well they spoke. I don't go right I hope you're right mark 1877469432218774694322. We got to stop Grammy to granny granny is Grammy is further to -- left and Barney Frank. -- I believe -- for the couple left in the Ted Kennedy and she's a lot more sanctimonious than Ted Kennedy once and that's going somewhere that's going some. David your next with Howie -- go ahead David. I LE can you imagine -- 612 or eighteen years of listening to grayling Agilent. Although it. Well well at the same time well at the same time she's live in the life of a luxury this guy sent out to one my reporter who went out to watch. Did it take pictures of her house the and that's a pretty funny -- -- pretty funny video in my web site. -- the first time he went after David there were two limos right in front of her house. Two limos and officer mark said so there's a fire hydrant in front of her house if she gets elected how long you think that fire hydrant going to be there. It's called how I wanna know why. The numbers. There are used in explaining spending like four billion. 600 million dollars whatever fortress that heavier -- Why don't people for political commentators. Whatever we break it down to show us exactly what it means. For the individual taxpayer how much money out of your pocket you know it's not that shouldn't which alone numbers of people all of those are big numbers. But how much does that mean to you in the virtual. Nobody believes that were ever gonna pay -- or that orbit to that or they believe we're gonna inflate the currency so much that none of these numbers mean anything David that's why. Plus how long would it take to explain it every time you have missed a financial story. Well it. I don't think it was taken more time that it would be saying 04000000600. Billion means. Just say it what it means to you mr. taxpayer. Is you know 1423. Dollars that you are footing the bill is covering it. From you know. Yeah I I don't think it's again they'd people don't people take the number serious -- only getting but that's why that the government is having problems selling bonds because nobody thinks we're gonna pay the money back. -- -- -- --
