Weekly Address: Milestones on the Economy and the Recovery Act

While there is nothing to celebrate until job numbers turn around, the President cites the recent dramatic turnaround in gross domestic product as a sign of better things to come. He also applauds the fact that the Recovery Act has now created or saved more than a million jobs. October 31, 2009. (Public Domain)

This administration has the brains, leadership skills, and focus needed to bring America back. Back from the brink of collapse that the greedy short-sighted Bush jr Cheney residency left us with.

Not perfect, but by far the best gov't I've seen since I started voting in 1976.

our GDP grew instead of shrinking.

America as a country became richer, not poorer.

If that's not a milestone, I don't know what is.

Disagreeing with your President is no excuse for hating your country.

I haven't read all 97 comments, but does anyone realize the reason for "the recent dramatic turnaround in gross domestic product"? Well here it is - IT'S FROM ALL THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING IN THE LAST YEAR! Not private sector, not job growth, but BAILOUT money. Yes, Obamatards, your savior has spent enough of OUR tax money to kick the GDP in the ass. That's a LOT of friggin' greenbacks. And less than 7000 views in 8 days?? Finally the hopey changey thing America really needs is slowly happening.

Well,damn,Barokeydoke....less than 7000 people listened to your latest diaperload of pickaninny diarrhea.....even "2 Girls,1Cup" gets more hits than that.....and for good reason....you get a more honest strain of shit there....by the way....Medicine Crow didn't win the Medal of Honor....you gave him the Medal of Freedom yourself,remember?....that's ok...none of my comrades in arms ever expected you to know the difference anyway

[Orchard6773]

Anything and everything goes these days. The whole idea of "saved or created" is completely stupid. These radical lefties running the government don't have a clue of what's going on and everything they do just seems to make them look worse.

u can have virginia and jersey so fuck them

[Armigerous]

A lot of my comrades in arms are wondering when you plan to get over yourself and get your finger out of your ass and give General McChrystal what he needs to win this war....assuming that term is even a part of your working English vocabulary......or are you just afraid that doing so would offend your pals on the Nobel committee?....what price,glory,Barokyedoke?

the free market is all about exploiting people that work for you. CEOs don't care about the people that help them make money.

WE now OWN them. i would agree with you 100% if it wasn't for the bailouts. MY money is now paying CEO paychecks, that's BULLSHIT.

I now own CIT group and GM. I should be able to pull my money just like stocks.

CEOs that do a good job deserve their money. CEOs that fail, deserve to fail. THAT is free market.

We don't live in a free market society. that would be nice

[MrTabby5000]

Being a ceo,thats the free market,the ceo should be able to keep his wealth.He earned it.

[obamaisapieceofshit]

hey you dumb fucking cunt obamama, your fuckin ass got bitchslapped in jersey and virginia yesterday. better have that ugly manbeast you call michele rub balm on your fucking buns to sooth the sting you goddamned fucking shiatbag.

FUCK YOU OBAMA

[trentonx]

earn it by doing what? Do you run into burning building to save people? You have 150 peoples lifes in your hands 10,000 feet in the sky? Are you in the middle of a warzone risking your life for your country?

If you make over 300,000$ a year, you most likely do NOT deserve it.

[MrTabby5000]

You know thats bullcrap,the wealthy should have all their money they earned it,I am sorry of government telling me I work for them.I want to keep my wealthy,if you are poor thats your problem.
