Matt McCall: Dream on. Unemployment is a lagging indicator, but all indications is that this will be a JOBLESS recover! So no new jobs in 2010. DOOM FOR THE MARXIST DEMOCRATS! They couldn’t create jobs if their lives depended on it. All they can do it spend money on crap.

The phrase “Permanent Democrat Majority” was chirped by plenty of liberal talking heads who thought that this President and his congressional majority would enjoy an endless love in by the public. After all, who wouldn’t feel the same way as a bunch of liberal journalists and the lefty college professors who taught them? Only problem is, liberals usually have to hide what they really are in order to get elected (sound familiar?) and when they show their true colors once elected by stealth, they usually get stomped by public opinion.

Please correct your headline. It is not the “Democratic” party. It is the Democrat party.

Obama speant a lot of money for his new Hope and Change and things are worse. That is my bottom line. Give me a job, put money in my pocket, leave my medicare and heathcare alone and get the heck out of life.

The apportionment of congressional seats is determined by the number of people living in each state, regardless of whether they are citizens.

“Whose quote is “permanent Democratic majority.” Just yours? Why put the phrase in quotes then?”

I dunno. Google says “Results 1 – 10 of about 231,000 for “permanent Democratic majority” when I searched it. 231,000 people can’t be wrong.

“Unemployment is a lagging economic indicator, so the worse it is, the closer we are to recovery. It has always happened that way in every recession. Don’t you know that yet?”

Yeah, and the more you run into a 2,000-mile desert, the closer you are to the other side too. But you’ll wish you had a car before long.

“A looming recovery doesn’t bode well for Republicans.”

The inability of Democrats OR Republicans to figure out how to balance the budget doesn’t bode well for either of them. I’m not voting for a single incumbent until the budget is balanced, whatever the economy is doing.

I get so frustrated when I hear of people who were Obama supporters, but who now say “this isn’t what I wanted”. This is who Obama was, is, and always will be: a man who is as far left on the political spectrum as there is. Do you remember National Journal rating him as most liberal member of the U.S. Senate? Our country voted for someone totally based on personality and great speeches, and now we all must suffer the consequences. But it is nice to see the voters in New Jersey and Virginia saying “Enough already” to the big spending and gross overstepping kind of government! Maybe there’s still hope for America!

Obama is an illegal muslim and must be impeached for non citizenship. Then deported! He can take his hateful fat wife with him, back to Kenya. Read: Her Name is Ms Ann, on YOUTUBE. A MUST READ!

Wow! The “New Normal”. Is that REALLY the Democrat’s new mantra? If so, they’re even dumber than I thought. Everybody here realizes what “New Normal” implies, don’t you? It implies that 10% unemployment is now “normal”. And if it’s “normal”, there’s nothing the pols can/should do about it. We’ll just have to get used to it, and hey, it’s really OK anyway. The irony is that
8-12% unemployment IS perfectly normal…in socialist europe. Make no mistake, the Dems’ primary goal is to leap-frog us into european style socialism and if permanently higher unemployment is part of the price we must pay, Obama/Pelosi are PERFECTLY happy to pay that price.
