AP Calls NJ for Christie!
04 Nov '09 16:215 editsOriginally posted by telerionI did not say that Obama was responsible for the high unemployment, however, he is the man in charge when it all hit the fan just as was "W" was in charge when the credit crisis hit so "W" was blamed just like Obama is being blamed now. McCain was ahead in the polls right before the credit crisis hit and I think is the main reason Obama won. Simply put McCain was penalized for being in the same party as "W". McCain was not only linked to "W" being in charge when it all hit the fan, (not that "W" was even responsible), but McCain said stupid things before the credit crisis like the fact that the economy way perfectly fine. This gave McCain the appearance that he was clueless and inept and out of touch. Likewise, Obama has made similar stupid statements. He first said that the unemployment rate would not exceed 8% and now it is 10%. He also said his stimulus package would create millions of jobs which is also a falsehood, at least till this point.
Whodey, I've got to correct you here. The high unemployment rate has next to nothing to do with Obama. You could have put in McCain, Palin, or (supposing we had a time machine) Ronald Reagan. We'd still have unemployment near 10%.
Also where are the tax increases that Obama has put in the tax code? Maybe in the future taxes will increase, but so far he hasn't been increasing taxes.
As far as tax increases go, the policies I am referring to are the ones he is pushing such as health care reform and cap and trade etc. These are not direct taxes but we will be having more money fly out of our pockets nonetheless if Obama and the Dems have their way. In addition, the out of control spending is an issue. People are retarded if they think that there is no correlation between increased spending and higher taxes. Like "W", Obama spends like a drunken sailor with no means to pay for it. This will leave future administrations little choice but to raise taxes in the future.
