Three years after a financial crisis pushed the country deep into recession, an overwhelming number of Americans - 90% - say that economic conditions remain poor. The number, reported Friday in a new CNN/ORC International Poll, is the highest of Barack Obama's presidency and a significant increase from the 81% who said conditions were poor in June.Its still Bush's fault...

US President Obama has given the Europeans a harsh lecture on the dangers of their ongoing debt crisis. Offended by the unsolicited advice, Europeans have suggested the US get its own house in order first. Obama’s remarks were “arrogant” and “absurd,” German commentators say on Wednesday.Welcome to our national nightmare...
President Obama’s re-election campaign wants to connect with young Americans and reached out recently to MTV for help -- but the cable network turned them down, sources tell The Post.It almost seems like no one wants much to do with Barry anymore.
(TheDC) — The Daily Caller has learned that Connecticut Democratic Rep. John Larson has introduced President Barack Obama’s jobs plan in the House of Representatives “at the request of the president” and that the bill has no co-sponsors.Lovely.
At a White House meeting in late October, Lawrence H. Summers, then director of the National Economic Council, and Timothy F. Geithner, the Treasury secretary, expressed concerns that the selection process for federal loan guarantees wasn’t rigorous enough and raised the risk that funds could be going to the wrong companies, including ones that didn’t need the help.Of course Barry knew of the risk, he could care less, its not his money.
After a few caffeine-heavy refills at our corner table, I asked him about President Obama's new effort to raise taxes on the wealthy, and Cain just about blew a blood vessel--especially when I mentioned the part where Obama says it's about "math" not "class warfare."
"Can I be blunt? That's a lie," Cain said, before the sound of his voice began to rise noticeably higher. "You're not supposed to call the president a liar. Well if you're not supposed to call the president a liar, he shouldn't tell a lie. If it's not class warfare, it's highway robbery. He wants us to believe it's not class warfare, oh okay, it's not class warfare. Pick my pockets, because that's what he's doing!"Damn straight.
"It gets folks discouraged. I know. I listen to some of y'all," Obama told an audience of some 3,000 in a darkened Washington convention center.Darkened Washington convention center? This one get by an editor?
“Tonight’s winner is Herman Cain,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced. “It shows you something, the road to the White House come through Florida, and it pays to spend time here.Idiots hardest hit...
An Obama-Cain matchup would be fascinating. In one corner you'd have a successful, articulate black man offering hope and change to the nation. In the other you'd have Barack Obama.Lovely.

“If he’s going to be the gold standard, so to speak, in terms of what our tax policy should be, yeah, let’s look at it [his tax returns],” Cornyn told ABC News.Time to let the sun shine on your records Mr. Buffett.
Freshman Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) wrote an open letter to Buffett on Thursday calling for the documents.
“Given the use of your name and your story as the guiding force for the President’s policy prescription, it is my hope that the evidence to justify such a change in policy will soon be available for public review,” Huelskamp wrote.Or maybe just pay the back taxes you owe and quit shilling for Barry...
Stocks continued to languish deep in negative territory Thursday as investors appeared unconvinced that the Federal Reserve’s plan will bolster economic activity.The Markets know better.
New York Times had expected to see a drop similar to the 4% decline in the second quarter, Robinson said. The company now expects print ad revenue to slide 10% and digital ad revenue to drop 2% to 3%, she said.To be fair print media everywhere is down due to the interwebs, but just perhaps it could have something to do with content...
The Federal Reserve decided today to try one more time to give an ailing economy a boost. But stocks fell the most in two weeks in part because Wall Street wanted the Fed to be more aggressive in the face of a weak economy.Perhaps the Fed should give it a rest.
