Dow hits 13,000 - first time since 2008


Posted: Feb 21, 2012

Thank you Mr. President for your steady leadership! We're coming back in spite of the republicans best attempts to hold us down to knock you down and take over the presidency.  Might we be seeing same landslide as last election?  Yes We Can.!!

the country is 15 trillion in debt. The housing market still stinks, and unemployment is not yet under 8pct, which is where O said it would not go above with his wonderful stimulus. Worst president ever.... clueless "leader".

Loved your post - Conservative

If I am in debt $10,000 and you are in debt $10,000, are we the same? Perhaps I have a husband who makes $250,000 a year and a substantial portfolio. Lets say you work part-time and have 13 kids. Are the situations the same? No.

Also, Planned Parenthood does not use federal money for abortions.

Media Matters is not corrupt. It is so effective right wing trying to take it down.

There is no growing threat of Sharea law in the U.S.

These distortions have to be continually corrected so they do not slip into the national dialogue as "facts."
Post so far off the mark - and no facts

You would probably be dangerous if you were not so massively obese and immobile. I'm done with you (just like Barb Bush). You cant even post a witty bon mot to keep my interest.
Done with me - yet you're always below me

and always will be. You sound like you have some serious self-image issues. Always making comments about weight; must be a serious problem for you.

Since I am Independent, I do not hold to the ideology of either party. I am a fiscal conservative. Regardless of who is in office, the spending and free give aways, bail outs has to stop. When I questioned a poster about all the free things people take that they are not entitled and deprive the poor of those services, I was accused of wanting children hungry in the streets (poster never addressed any issue directly, just flamed). I think the poor should definitely be helped, which I have said repeatedly. Stealing food stamps, medical care, welfare payments, cell phones, medication and God knows what else from poor people because you can work a system or are too lazy to work is disgusting. If politicians, regardless of party, had to live under the laws they pass, I believe you would see improvements in many services and systems immediately. I also believe in term limits for everyone. I am very well schooled in the political "mix", which many, many presidents have had to deal with. You either learn to work with them or you do not. I do not see anything in Obama's history to indicate he is anything other than a bully. If he spent half that time getting rid of the waste, fraud and abuse, billions would be saved and we would all be better off regardless of party.

Blessings - SM

You have the extreme good fortune to be born in the greatest country in the world with freedom and luxury millions would love to enjoy for just one day. Do you have any gratitude? no wonder Americans are viewed pretty negatively. Unimaginable good fortune and still complaining. To you and your naysaying cohorts, I sincerely wish you do not live your entire life without realizing how blessed you are.

I like the Dow being up. It means hubby and I can retire in October. - me
