Most people who voted for Obama do not know what GDP is, and could care less. It is nothing that impacts them.

One thing that continues to amaze me about the ObaMessiah is his supposed "personal popularity."
Even by the low standards of politicians he is a shameless liar and hypocrite. He brays about bipartisan, balanced approaches, then laughs off the opposition positions. His irresponsible Big Guvment agenda was soundly clobbered in 2010, then his leftist con man team sucked in the gullible low information voters for re-election.
Of course, it did not hurt his errant cause that the nonfeasant media were in the tank to an egregious, seemingly unbelievable degree.

It certainly does appear that you are correct in your assessment of events.

Reader Greg has it right! It's not a matter of "if", only "when" the economy collapses under the burdens of leftist, crazy-insane spending. It's not higher math, folks, it's simple arithmetic!

The "Origination Clause" in the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 7) requires that taxes be initiated in the House. The Senate took a House bill dealing with veterans and deleted the title and all text, leaving only the bill's number. ObamaCare was then inserted. The Supreme Court characterized the penalties in ObamaCare as federal taxes, but was not asked and did not address the issue of which body of Congress initiated the taxes. The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a suit (U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia) challenging ObamaCare on this issue. newsandopinions dot net

It seems that politicians realize the Constitution can be ignored when it is inconvenient to pay attention. The MSM and the majority think it's fine and will not hold any Dem to task for being expedient. The latest Exececutive Order seems to violate the 27th amendment regarding Congressional pay -- Congress won't object.

Question for syobdab, do you, under any of the myriad pseudonyms you use, ever post anything relevant to the articles you post under and do you ever actually post anything true?
