Things are slowly improving....

Despite all the whailings and naysaying from Conservative groups about the Obama administration, the stock market continues to rise, unemployment continues to drop, the economic picture continues to improve, America is just as safe now as when the G O P was in power. Conservatives can whine and whail all they want about deficits, birth cirtificates, Socialism, and healthcare, but the majority of American voters see this administration as a big improvement over the last one. I see solid Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, and Democratic Presidents for at least the next 6-8 years. Go Blue!! 😀

Do you, in principal, have something against ever citing any source to back up anything you say?

Incidentally, I do agree with some of that. But I think that worrying about deficits is not whining or "whailing" (whatever that means), but realism.

Can you prove any of this?

do you always have to be so partisan?

Yes...I do have something against citing sources to back up my statements. I assume you are smart enough to be able to read the Dow Jones Industrial average, and have some idea of what it means, I also assume your smart enough to understand national unemployment statistics, not to mention the number of terrorist attacks on American soil of late. I don't really need to spoon feed this information to you...do I?😏

Perhaps I do get a little too partisan. Considering all the others here who are doing the same thing I guess I'm just part of the crowd.

If the only assertions you made were that the Dow is up and that there had been no terrorist attacks, perhaps. Incidentally, the employment numbers are far from clear.

But, you asserted:

1) the stock market continues to rise,
2) unemployment continues to drop,
3) the economic picture continues to improve,
4) America is just as safe now as when the G O P was in power.
5) Conservatives whine and whail about deficits, birth cirtificates, Socialism, and healthcare,
6) the majority of American voters see this administration as a big improvement over the last one.

Surely something there ought to be sourced.

"go blue", you can't get any more partisan than that.

that is true to a certain extent, but just because some people choose to act stupidly doesn't mean you should do it as well.

hmmm 9-11 resulting from Clinton's ignoring global threats, including releasing bin laden in the sudan...Bush countering that resulting in no more attacks...let's see where we are in 5 years...I don't think you've given the current administration enough time to affect our safety.

I could take issue with a few of your statements...but I won't. As far as this administration goes, Obama will make his share of mistakes just like all the other Presidents. I don't think things are running too badly at this point though. 😏

Well...there are many who are asking "If Bush and the G O P are so good at defending America, then why did the 9/11 attacks happen on Bush's watch"?? Frankly, I don't think there is a dimes worth of difference between the G O P and the Democrats regarding who keeps America safer.😏
