Awwww, what's the matter Whell? Nobody to play your little game with?

Boreas nailed it Mike. You cons have been bitching incessantly that Obama hasn't cleaned up the Bush debacle fast enough, while actively trying to sabotage any progress.

6.5 years is "fast enough", and the "job" is still on-going? What' not clear is that much has been done to "clean up" anything. Rather it seems more likely to have extended / exacerbated the issue.

Here are some more comments/analysis from, as John puts it, assholes:

Job growth on its fastest pace in years....false.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...fastest-pace-/

New business starts, while help fuel economic growth and new jobs, are down....true.

http://www.politifact.com/ohio/state...w-business-st/

Low gas prices are a result of Obama's policies....false. Low energy prices might be stimulative in the long run, though.

http://www.politifact.com/virginia/s...-obama-polici/

Obamacare has resulted in a slowdown in healthcare cost inflation....nope.

http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/...est-ever-infl/

Obama says we're putting more folks back to work.....not so much.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...k-all-other-a/

We are stuck in a rut. And last I checked, Bush has been gone a while. I think you guys just don't like it when someone comes along and injects a bit of "real" into the discussion.

Everything in media is about making a buck these days. It's all "entertainment" and ratings-driven. That means everything they do is part of an overall strategy of capturing eyeballs/ears.

Good news doesn't sell.

You can take this as a "yes".

Why so dim, whell? I was quite clear in that post as to why I'm "so angry".

From the very moment that Obama was sworn in, you fuckwads have been doing everything in your power to sabotage his presidency and, in the process, the national economy and the American people, to make us hurt so much that we'd blame the President. It hasn't worked and you're all coming unglued.

The worst part of it is that it's not even fun to watch. It's far too venomous and utterly overflowing with personal hatred. You all disgust me.

And nothing's settled in any meaningful way. You're still a vile little troll and a right wing tool. The fact that you're probably not doing it for money only serves to deprive you of a lame excuse for your behavior: "Hey, it's a gig!"
Couldn't have said it better.

All I said was that I was backing off.

I'm still suspicious.

And the fact that you so quickly tried to close the door on the matter makes me even more suspicious that you're trying to hide something.

Paranoia is based in fear Whelly boy.

I have about as much fear of you as a Grizzly Bear has of a Chihuahua.

Keep it up, Bob. If you're lucky enough, maybe he'll stop talking to you too.
