Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Economy Grows an Enormous Zero Point Five Percent In First QuaterI knew they wouldn't let the number fall below zero -- they would fight that. Because two quarters of negative growth in a row is a recession, and they absolutely will not permit that before Obama's Legacy Election. So they're making sure that can't happen. Even if we go negative next quarter -- and we may well might -- we can't have an official recession as we go to the polls. So here's your Green Shoots: zero point five. Half of a percent. Just enough to not be negative, and that's all that matters. Gateway Pundit says that Obama now belongs to a very exclusive club: he is the only president in history, since we've been measuring economic growth, to not see a single year of (just better than the rate of population expansion) 3% growth. What a guy. What a god. All hail King Obama, first of his name, the FOTUS -- Failure of the United States. Or even FUOTUS.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The thing is, is that the O administration added government spending to the GDP back in his first term. Without that, we would have been in negative growth territory since he became preznit. If the numbers hadn't been skewed by the O admin, it would show the US in recession since he was preznit. But no one will say a thing against the chocolate messiah.

Recall that the other thing which B.J. said in his big convention speech in 2012 was that Obamanomics just needed a little bit more time to work, that it was in the process of kicking in, and that ordinary Americans would shortly "feel it" as the country returned to bursting levels of economic progress and prosperity. ::: sad trombone ::: Posted by: torquewrench at April 28, 2016 05:06 PM (noWW6) Posted by: Sterling Archer at April 28, 2016 05:06 PM (LYCUN) 117

It is we, the Amurrican people, who have failed the Godhead Obama, so let it be written, so let it be told.
It must be so, it cannot be that a D+ student who shroomed through class on the strength of his caramel colored hide and white voice, who had no business being in charge of a bowling league's petty cash, never mind America's economy. It cannot be that Mr. My Schedule starts at 11ish and Ends at 1ish, Because Golf had no economic policy or knowledge and from a position of weakness always played to that weakness by refusing to do his damn job. So we handed the economy to a man who never paid for anything, but, received gifts and special pricing on real estate, along with make work do nothing high dollar jobs so that he and Mooch would be able to talk Street, while firmly ensconced on the Verandah.

"It's hard to look like a leader when you look like Alibi Ike, the character from a Ring Lardner short story who wasn't a very good baseball player but it was never his fault.

And yet this stupid motherfucker has approval ratings over 50pct.
See the point of an opposition party is to degrade the popularity of your supposed political opponent such that his popularity goes down and that of his party goes down so that you can attain leverage in pushing your agenda over his agenda. This sort of news could make for a lot of opportunity to degrade the popularity of your political opponent. Instead the fucktarded imbecilles that are the modern day GOP are doing jack and shit.

Again, any time Obama is in the news and making speeches, doing stuff, his approval rating craters. People love the idea of a black dude as president, but the actual guy annoys and repulses them. So the less he's talking and the less front page news he is, the higher his approval ratings go. Which basically goes to show you how little the number actually means.

Cruz worked with Kasich's lawyer to make the deal that fell apart. That makes sense. No lawyer has ever put a deal together in the history of the world. That's the reason they are a lawyer, because they are genetically incapable of coming to an agreement that benefits both sides. Deals are made by businessmen. They they instruct their lawyers to put it on paper. Lawyers then do everything in their power to fuck it up. They insist that everyone with 50 miles be fucked in the ass, otherwise it isn't a good "deal". It's up to the businessmen to muzzle and handcuff these deal-breaking assholes.

They've already started rolling out ordering kiosks in Manhattan and are actively testing full scale automation. You'll see McDonalds of the future go from 30-60 personnel per location to 10-30 per location. This $15.00 minimum wage is going to be a bloodbath for low skilled service industry employees. They are going to find out that the real minimum wage is $0.00 real quick. On the other hand they will probably make infinately more on welfare.

404 I used to do that braking on assholes behind me thing.
It just scared the shit out of me and pissed off the asshole behind me. No thanks. I go the speed that I am comfortable with going and pull over at the earliest chance. Posted by: Grampa Jimbo at April 28, 2016 05:58 PM (1ijHg) I used to do that too. Now, I don't trust the sumbitches to slow down . . . I figure if I kept doing it, sombody would just ram me, and he/she/it wouldn't have insurance anyway. So now I drive my car the way I used to ride my motorcycle--I just assume everyone else on the road is indeed trying to kill me. Posted by: filbert at April 28, 2016 06:00 PM (s5o+q) 411

I have a cousin that moved back to the states from living in Mexico for five years. She told me the people are wonderful but the government is impossibly corrupt and non-functional.

I generally try not to retaliate etc. while driving anymore.
*Apparently* it is illegal to whack those that deserve it. So since I don't get to take it to it's logical conclusion, why bother? Posted by: Tilikum KAW at April 28, 2016 06:03 PM (0x/TW) 420

The cartels kidnap for ransom and dont always release alive after getting the cash. The father of some director was kidnapped. They paid and he was released and he moved to the states. The father and brother of an actor were kidnapped and their bodies dumped. It's to effin dangerous. And then there were the 2 aussie surfers who were tortured and burned alive. All cartel shit.

From the GP link: "Assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth." In honor of this Affirmative Action Achievement, I propose that coins made of crushed Colt 45 Malt Liquor cans be minted and named "The Obama". Exit Question: How many "Chavezes" (the Crushed Soda Can Coins of Venezuela ) will equal 1 "Obama"? We gotta have an exchange rate ... Posted by: Brutus Jones at April 28, 2016 06:39 PM (FlRtG) 429
