Obama's top intelligent official a complete idiotFollow

Yes. By enabling their org. To grow 3000%, he sure showed them.

*snerk*


He did give them crayons and fingerpaints and tell them to be nice and not plan the next 9/11.

Well then they'd be that much easier to pick out of a crowd. Thanks a lot W!

Apparently, varus wasn't aware that terrorists also popped up on gaydar. We're more useful than German Shepherds in a Colombian airport.

And it had NOTHING to do with an economic crisis that existed before the president came into office. Everyone knows he should have waved his magic wand and created jobs!

Sounds like we would have had a lot more job opportunities in our counterterrorism industry.

Um what. Just because bush left in 09 doesn't mean you can ignore the nearly 3% jump in one year because of it. That simply shows that 3% + 2% more people (over 2 years) are still out of work/recently out of work, new to the workforce.

The whole point of me showing 3.9% was because you argue obama is terrible and its his fault. When Bush in a similar 2 year period saw the unemployment rate go from 4.2% at the start of his term to roughly 6% after 2 years. That is how did you say it....."a disaster." By comparison.

You are forgetting (more likely ignoring to "strengthen" your case) the 3% increase obama inherited due to the failing economy, as a result of a failure of economic policies by the Bush White house. Of course the typical GOP argument will be but the Dems controlled the house at the time so it was their issue. Which again takes us back to the early 00's when the GOP had the house and still saw a rise of nearly 2%.

As for your delusional unemployment philosophy that 5% is ideal you are nuts. 0% is ideal. For both government, and business. Everyone working means everyone is being taxed, social programs like welfare are not being used, and everyone has money to spend. Be it buying homes, cars, electronics etc etc etc. 5% is good. 4% is better, 6% is worse. To say 5% of the working populus is dependent on the government for support be it medicare, welfare, unemployment insurances is ridiculous. I thought you were against programs that take money and spend it in such ways.

Furthermore, if each successive % point up is a signal the economy is worsening wouldn't each successive % point down indicate otherwise. I mean you debunked your own argument in the ver next sentence for christ sake, and why 5% is that a number you arbitrarily pulled from your own ***? The Clinton years were mostly under 5% some of the time under 4% ad those were arguably the best years the american economy ever seen. The stock market sky rocketed, the Deficit was non-existent, the debt to GDP ratio was dropping. The only issue that plagued the clinton years was the increase in the trade deficit which is mostly a Nafta issue and not an economic policy issue. The dollar soared worldwide and the average american had huge buying power internationally and domestically. The reason this was so awesome was that more taxes were being collected, and less money was being spent on social programs which meant it could go elsewhere, like business tax cuts. Cuts that allowed upstart companies like Googles, and Yahoos to get off the ground and revolutionize the new internet market.

Now after 8 years of Bush the economy is ******* the deficit is huge, the debt to GDP ratio is huge, the unemployment rate is huge, the American dollar is laughable, hell even the canadian dollar is worth just as much, up from 60 cents : 1 USD from 2000, the Stock market is *******

Now you have the gall to put the blame on a president who has yet to serve one term, inherited the worst economic crisis since the depression, and expect him to solve all the problems over night. I mean seriously it took the Bush White House 1 year to destroy what Clinton had accomplished, and you expect Obama to fix a situation far greater than what papa bush left clinton in one year.

You sir are out to lunch. But by all means, keep on asking for trickle down economics, 4 of the companies I invest in here in Canada will be happy to continue buying up failed american enterprise, companies like TD, Royal Bank, Tim Hortons are loving the whole your in, and so am I. I like having a dollar on par, it means I can vacation in Florida hella cheaper then I could 4 years ago. So please, what ever you have done over the last 8-10 years keep doing it because my buying power is > than your buying power, and that aint not bad.

Like people with jobs never get different jobs?

At best, the argument for 5% unemployment is that the least competent 5% of workers are more trouble than they're worth, and we're better off paying them to stay home.

5% is still awfully high for an unemployment rate. We're not just talking about people without jobs-- labor statistics don't even have those figures. That discounts most young people who aren't working, stay-at-home mothers, and lots of other people who aren't working but would like to be.

I'll agree to that.

I love how since 9/11 whenever anything that is related to Bomb or explosion is instantly a terrorist plot. But since these were not American Embassies, not on American soil, I a quite sure it is not overly high on the "wake up" the president list.

Telling him to do something he might enjoy isn't a good way to insult people.

I'm confused...if this guy is supposed to be an idiot, then why does varus keep referring to him as an "intelligent official"?
