Obama just doesn't get it. HE should not be living in the White House. This guy and the people around him have no idea what they are doing.

Today the stock market dropped (DOW) dropped 634 points to 10,809. Obama made an appearance on national TV and advised we needed to keep doing the same old things, un-employment to be paid because it helps the economy. Roads and inter-structure spending to create government paid jobs. Nothing new and nothing has changed with his thinking of how an economy works, just more more more Government spending.
Obama is going to two Democratic fundraiser tonight and is going on vacation to St Martha's Vineyard later in the week.
Need I say more...

Maybe soon the whole thing will go away
A federal appeals court in Atlanta ruled Friday that a provision in President Obama's health care law requiring citizens to buy health insurance is unconstitutional, but the court didn't strike down the rest of the law.
The decision is a major setback for the White House, which had appealed a ruling by a lower court judge who struck down the entire law in January. But given that another appeals court, in Cincinnati, has upheld the law, it is increasingly clear that the Supreme Court will have the final say.
"We strongly disagree with this decision and we are confident it will not stand," White House spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said in a statement.
On Friday, the divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with 26 states that filed a lawsuit to block Obama's signature domestic initiative. The panel said that Congress exceeded its constitutional authority by requiring Americans to buy insurance or face penalties.
"This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority," the panel said in the majority opinion.
The majority also said that a basic objective of the law is to "make health insurance coverage accessible and thereby to reduce the number of uninsured persons." Without the individual mandate, the majority said, the law "retains many other provisions that help to accomplish some of the same objectives as the individual mandate."
The decision is a review of a sweeping ruling by a Florida judge, who not only struck down a requirement that nearly all Americans carry health insurance, but he also threw out other provisions ranging from Medicare discounts for some seniors to a change that allows adult children up to age 26 to remain on their parents' coverage.
The states urged the 11th Circuit to uphold U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson's ruling, saying in a court filing that letting the law stand would set a troubling precedent that "would imperil individual liberty, render Congress's other enumerated powers superfluous, and allow Congress to usurp the general police power reserved to the states."
The Justice Department countered that Congress had the power to require most people to buy health insurance or face tax penalties because Congress has the authority to regulate interstate business. It said the legislative branch was exercising its "quintessential" rights when it adopted the new law.
During oral arguments in June, the three-judge panel repeatedly raised questions about the overhaul and expressed unease with the insurance requirement. Each of the three worried aloud if upholding the landmark law could open the door to Congress adopting other sweeping economic mandates.
The arguments unfolded in what's considered one of the nation's most conservative appeals courts. But the randomly selected panel represents different judicial perspectives. None of the three is considered either a stalwart conservative or an unfaltering liberal.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the only private group to join the 26 states in the lawsuit, cheered the decision.
"Small-business owners across the country have been vindicated by the 11th Circuit's ruling that the individual mandate in the health-care law is unconstitutional," said Karen Harned, executive director of the group's legal center.
"The court reaffirmed what small businesses already knew - there are limits to Congress' power. And the individual mandate, which compels every American to buy health insurance or pay a fine, is a bridge too far," she said.

Dear Chosen One
They are now talking about more lay off's at my job. Just like reported by most businesses, it is un-certainty of new regulation and Obama-Care that are the factors.
I fail to understand why you still think your plan is working.

The economy has been taking another huge turn for the worse. This is not helping.
Everytime it looks like it might turn around, it takes two HUGE steps backward - sometimes without ever going forward.
For all those of us who have managed to barely stay above water, well, good luck to us all.

More "Green" goes out the window...
Evergreen Solar Inc., indirectly received $5.3 million through a state grant to open a $450 million facility in 2007 that employed roughly 800 people. The company, once a rock star in the solar industry, filed for bankruptcy protection last month, saying it couldn't compete with Chinese rivals without reorganizing. The company intends to focus on building up its manufacturing facility in China.
Solar is a really a good back up for America, but the cost vs the outcome is to high for most Americans. Our Government needs to stop this PUSH from the far left and let the people decide what is best for them.
The far left agenda has forgotten about the word "CHOICE" and it has been replaced with their words "MUST HAVE"

I am trying to refiance my house.
In doing so, one thing they want to know is when was your LAST raise. Well, that is a good question. When I thought about it, the answer was October 2008.
My boss had not realized how long it had been, she teared up at the thought.
I am employed by a small business owner. We have been hurting for a long time.
I hope we can make it through this because it sure won't be for lack of trying.
It makes me wonder how many countless more are in this position and worse.
Again, good luck to us all.

How are we supposed to recover with no money left to do so?

Couldn't agree more. No money equals no economic recovery.
Things have been bad for over 3 years, getting hard to remember the good old days.
Any idea when we can all start to breath freely again?

Obama is the man, this who mess you say we are in belongs to Bush. Obama helps people and understands that people need help.
Obama helps put food on our table and helps with the rent, what more could you ask for in a President.

Turn the economy around tomorrow by:
1. Do away with Obama Care immediately. (I mean today) 2. Unemployment checks and goverment food dollars decrease by $10.00 per month until they are at $0.00 immediately. 3. Approve plans to approve more drilling in the Gulf and Alaska immediately.
The economy will change tomorrow if just these three thing are done today.

Think about this texas, your "help from Obama" takes away food from my family, so yours can have 'HELP". Obama is a socialist who takes from hard working Americans and gives "help" to those he deems worthy. Who died and made him GOD?

Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling?
He threatened to not pay : Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social Security disability and Federal Retirees.
Now..Let this sink in really well -
He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens.
He did not threaten to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates.
He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired .
He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around the country and the world.
He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff.
He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients..
He did not threaten the food stamp programs.
He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid.
He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base of voters.
