You always leave out the bit about you voting for Bush....TWICE

Could it be because it is a LIE?

It's a concept posters like you never learned not to do when growing up.

23.2% percent of what?
You realize that is something goes down say 50% then it has to go up 100% to break even.

The S&P was at ~1,300 when the GOP took over capital hill in 2001. When the GOP lost control of capital hill in 2007 it was ~1,450. It is now ~1,300.

So when the GOP controlled capital hill, the S&P went up ~10% while when the Democrats took control it dropped 10%.

I believe you do not have a sense of humor or you are an imbecile.

Jesus Christ, can't you even do simple math? It means that Obama is 23.2 percent better than Bush.

No, it means the economy under Obama is 23.2 percent better. The man does not make the economy. Bush did a lot of things wrong, but the economic downturn wasn't just him.

The thing about Moonbeam is he actually means a lot of the stuff he posts - and most of it is batshit crazy.

Inflation adjusted and with dividends reinvested:

Bush 8 years 2001 thru 2008

-5.2% per year
---------
Obama 2 years 2009 thru 2010

+18.0% per year

---------

The middle class took a severe beating under Bush and is still in anguish. It will be a long road to recovery but hopefully the healing has begun.

You have to compare 2 years to 2 years. Bush's 2 best consecutive years averaged 19.5% per year.

See how cherry picking and unqualified statements work?

 

[blackangst1]

Hmmmm let's see

Your hero cuts taxes for the rich = Economic disaster

The Messiah hits the rich and Corporate welfare whores = Economic recovery

Yep total luck

Youre an idiot. What exactly did Obama do to "hit the rich and corporate welfare whores" other than continue what Bush did?

Hehehehehe Doc Savage Fan did OK I think. But you can always tell the more severe cases of self hate by the lack of perspective and humor.

Why you gotta self-hate like that?

Why you gotta self-hate like that?

Because there's a little lost crippled child in side him buried under tons of shit that only bat shit crazy words can save. He doesn't know why he calls himself a ConstipatedVigilante.

Dave you're the King of the Liars, and Twinkies, so we are all well aware how acquainted you are with lying.
