Blacks support Obama 95% - 3% in race vs. Romney (The quotes are priceless)

[Fury]

1. The unemployment rate, non-farm, overall increased from 7.6% in Jan. 2009 to 9.4%, in July, 2011 for an increase of 23.7%
2. The unemployment rate for blacks increased from 12.6% in Jan, 2009 to 15.8% in July, 2011 for an increase of 25.4%
3. The number of unemployed increased from 11,616,000 in Jan, 2009 to 14,485,000 in July, 2011 for an increase of 24.7%
4. The number of food stamp recipients increased from 31,983,598 in Jan. 2009 to 43,200,878 in July, 2011 for an increase, 35.1%

Weird, I thought Obama just gets to hit a "re-set" button when he get's into office

I don't underststand why the hemorage of job losses didn't just stop the day Obama was elected and everyone to rehired all the people they laid off.  Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Sure the price of gas was low when Obama took office but that's because global demand was down due to that aforementioned hemorage of job losses.  Doesn't that just get reset the day the new POTUS gets into office.

National Debt - doesn't the new POTUS just get to ignore all the debt accumulated by prior administrations.  Doesn't he get to just not make the interest payments on that debt?

OK - let's put all jokes aside and talk about the present day

what has Romney offered to address any of these problems

Yawn. Same old tired excuses from bubble boy.

It's been almost 3 years and things are significantly worse. Obama himself said that he expected the economy to turn around in 3 years or he should be held culpable. 

On February 1, 2009, Obama said:

“A year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress,” said Obama. ”But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

[tonymctones]

he's a flip flopper, a profound corporate shill ("corporations are people my friend") and most importantly I haven't heard him present any viable ideas to address job growth, income disparity, or even foreign policy issues.   Maybe it's because he is too busy fighting off attacks from Perry, Cain, Bachmann, etc.. so hopefully he'll present some ideas once he secures the nomination.    

LOL obama is all those things?

so what makes obama better?

[Fury]

Romney is a corporate shill yet Obama brought in more Wall St. money last quarter than Romney did. Obama hired a former Wall St. lobbyist for his campaign. Obama's office is loaded with former Wall St. guys.

Guys, Obama is definitely not a corporate shill.

Things are worse

Corporations are people my friend and big corporations are doing GREAT

Don't worry though, when Romney wins all of the things on your list will be magically reset to zero and he'll get a clean slate to work with.

Downgrade is a fucking disaster. The best part of this is that he and the Dems had control of all 3 branches for TWO YEARS and they still fucked it up this badly! This is what happens when you put thugs into power who, instead of worrying about the average American, care more about their union buddies and the wealthy bundlers that put them into power.

Downgrade, Pelosi and Reid will go down as the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

There is no reason whatsoever to give any of these assholes another shot.

Apple profits jump 54% on record sales of 4.9M Macs, 11.2M iPads

Apple said Tuesday that fourth quarter profits rose nearly 54% to $6.62 billion, or $7.05 per diluted share, driven by record sales of more than 11 million iPads and nearly 5 million Macs.

The company posted quarterly revenue of $28.27 billion and quarterly net profit of $6.62 billion, or $7.05 per diluted share for the three-month period ending September 24, 2011. The results compare to revenue of $20.34 billion and net quarterly profit of $4.31 billion, or $4.64 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

“We are thrilled with the very strong finish of an outstanding fiscal 2011, growing annual revenue to $108 billion and growing earnings to $26 billion,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Customer response to iPhone 4S has been fantastic, we have strong momentum going into the holiday season, and we remain really enthusiastic about our product pipeline.”

Apple sold 17.07 million iPhones during the quarter as it drew down inventories ahead of this month's iPhone 4S launch, still representing 21 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. The Cupertino-based firm also reported new quarterly records for iPad sales at 11.2 million units and Macs at 4.89 million units, an increase of, a 166 percent and 26 percent, respectively.

Apple also sold a record low 6.62 million iPods, a 27 percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 40.3 percent compared to 36.9 percent in the year-ago quarter and International sales accounted for 63 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

“We are extremely pleased with our record September quarter revenue and earnings and with cash generation of $5.4 billion during the quarter,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “Looking ahead to the first fiscal quarter of 2012, which will span 14 weeks rather than 13, we expect revenue of about $37 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $9.30.”

Apple will provide live streaming of its Q4 2011 financial results conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PDT. AppleInsider will provide full coverage.

Thank you for once again proving how fucking retarded you are. I said Apple MISSED EXPECTATIONS for the first time since 2004, which is a good indicator of the slowdown to the economy. They've been destroying expectations, dipshit.

And other sure-fire companies like Amazon missed expectations, too

Are there any leftists on here with even a rudimentary grasp of finance/economics? Or is it just jobless, schizophrenic deadbeats like Blacken? I'll bet you had a shit-eating grin on your face as you typed that post up thinking you were going to own me, too.

From March of this year

NEW YORK -- Despite high unemployment and a largely languishing real estate market, U.S. businesses are more profitable than ever, according to federal figures released on Friday.

U.S. corporate profits hit an all-time high at the end of 2010, with financial firms showing some of the biggest gains, data from the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis show. Corporations reported an annualized $1.68 trillion in profit in the fourth quarter. The previous record, without being adjusted for inflation, was $1.65 trillion in the third quarter of 2006.

Many of the nation's preeminent companies have posted massive increases in profits this year. General Electric posted worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, while profits at JPMorgan Chase were up 47 percent to $4.8 billion.

You might want to look at JP Morgan's returns in the last quarter and the accounting gimmick they pulled just to turn a profit.

all the way back to 2010......the end of the most recent year (which wasn't even tallied up until the end of Q12011).  

You can find plenty of companies today that are still posting record profits.  One of the oil companies was in the news today with record profits

So is it schizophrenia or what? You're on here every day talking to yourself. To be quite honest, it's just creepy.  

It's almost like you're purposely ignoring the massive downturn the economic has taken in the last few months. Oh wait, never mind, you're trying to fabricate an artificial position in an argument again.  Carry on. 

Doesn't get much funnier than someone using 2010 to prove an argument about the economy in October 2011. 

I'm definitely not saying things are great now (don't think I ever said that) but your premise that Obama has only made things worse is patently false.     Clearly some people are doing just as good or better than ever but many are absolutely still struggling and home values have definitely gone down after going up in 2009 and 2010.   No doubt about that at all

UE straw?

UE straw? 

still sucks

can't recall anything that ANY repub has suggested to fix it

At least the Dems are trying to do something rather than nothing

BTW - wasnt your plan to let things get much worse

My plan would have had us out of this by now.

bullshit

your plan was to let all the car companies go broke, do no stimulus (proven by the CBO and admitted to by Repubs to have helped save jobs and stimulate the economy) and to do nothing for anyone

And you've admitted (to your credit) that doing so would have made things profoundly worse

exactly how would we have crawled out of that much larger hole by now

what do you think would have happened to turn around what would have been MUCH larger unemployment and a much greater drop in GDP.

Where would all the new demand have come from?

I can't wait to hear your answer
