Showing Original Post only (View all)The Bush Created Economic Abyss Obama Pulled America Out Of Was Deep, THIS Deep: [View all]

A truly informed America would be down on its knees thanking the President for restoring the economy, restoring family values and compassion in the White House and ending endless American war, demanding these policies be continued. even in the face of massive Republican and mass media obstructionism .......but, no, having an informed America would cause massive profit loss for the media, The Big Game would be like this year's Superbowl first quarter blowout, people would lose interest early in The Big Game, the Perpetual Media Election Cycle and edge of your seat excitement of Who Will Win would suffer, plunging ratings would lose profit, the Citizens United Bonanza would wane....so the CBO media fiasco was an accident, a rare media mea error was it?
How much "progressive" policy could anyone have championed and pushed through to law in the current Idiot America media environment, I ask you who whine about his lack of progressive creed? How many Presidents were subject to the crude attacks of Bill O'Reilly, pretend journalist, obvious propagandist, on a pretend TV "news" station, obvious propaganda, in your face, jaw dropping propaganda, while said media environment stood mutely by IGNORING the obvious?
Don't blame Obama!
The right wing has got that covered.
And remember President Obama has three more years to be President Of America, so caving to the Endless Election Cycle Of The Mass Media is exactly what you should not be doing.

The Job Creation/Loss chart is the most informative because it counts PEOPLE.

But you do know, don't you, that PBO can just pull policies out of thin air and some them into law

Yeah, and come to think of it, PBO shouldn't have rejected the first bailout offer GM presented. How

How many fish & size of the pool and is more important than the ratio of predator fish to prey fish.

The OP is analagous to counting the number of prey fish eaten each month.
