White House says NO to rest

[johnsonrod]

To funny. Blame the other guy... If you listened to a more balanced source of information, you would know that while Obama's approval ratings are down, the approval ratings of Congress, Republicans and the Tea baggers are down far more. You guys are in real trouble as well.

Was the country better off after W's 96 months? Was the economy better when he left office? The housing market? The unemployment rate? Number of dead Americans? National debt and deficit?

Let me guess, you will argue that it was not all his fault. But yet, everything is specifically O's fault. What a joke.

If all you have to offer is a crazy Michelle Bachmann and a ridiculous Yosemite Sam, this country is doomed. I partly hope that Yosemite Sam or Michelle actually win, so that you guys are exposed for the FRAUDS you are.

Dude, could this country get any worse? Well, maybe it could get worse if Obama stays much longer (I'd hate to see how he could make this worse). What has he accomplished during his first 2.5 years beyond establishing a huge entitlement that we (and every European country) can't afford? Riddle me that... He owns this economy now after 2.5 years in office. Nobody has confidence in his ability to get us out of it. Seriously, what has he done to promote any economic growth beyond a dead stimulus plan (another waste of nearly $1 trillion dollars)? How will he grow the job base?

Btw, I think GW Bush was one of the bottom 5 Presidents ever. He ruined the Republican party and Iraq was a highly questionable war that I never agreed with. Bush did a lot to set the Republican party back and it ultimately hurt our nation with the Democratic surge in 2006. Bush helped Obama win (weak McCain/Palin candidates didn't help either). We need to focus on job growth and the economy - that should be the PRIME FOCUS FOR ANY CANDIDATE. And Obama clearly shows he is lost and doesn't know what to do... Face it, he is a terrible leader who has lost a lot of credibility. He's a great speaker but a terrible leader with NO PLAN.

So you are looking forward to four more years of Obama?

So, these new rules actually to put airline rest rules CLOSER to USAF rules yet the Pentagon is opposed????

I can only surmise that the Commander in Chief (as well as pentagon brass) doesn't mind transporting 90% of our troops on aircraft flown by pilots LESS rested than military pilots.

The Commander in Chief is just concentrating on trying pronounce Keynesian
Economics without staring at the TelePrompTer for more than 5 seconds. There is a reason while as 12 years as a supposed law professor, he published nothing, zero, zip, nada. Idiot.

In his short time in the senate, did he ever write or co-sponsor a bill or piece of legislation?

 

[Microclimates]

To me, the first and easiest measure could be to mandate that we get paid by the duty hour, not flight hour. This would create market pressures towards efficient crew utilization, and make those 15.5 hour duty days rare and very expensive for the company. Meanwhile however gets stuck with said monster day, is at least making lotsa cash.

Does not solve the issue altogether, but might be a start.

How does he do that when corporate America off-shored all the decent jobs while Bush was clearing brush on his ranch?

They do??? Please expand. Been flying in the AF for 20 years (still flying) and the AF rules allow for extremely long duty days regardless of circadium rythym. 24 hrs with 3 pilots routinely extended to 26 hrs.

Don't get me wrong--these new rules need to be implemented ASAP!

 

[Sacha]

How does he do that when corporate America off-shored all the decent jobs while Bush was clearing brush on his ranch?

Two corporate giants. Apple and GE. Huge Obama supporters both employees and customers alike. Now do a little research as to how much of those companies are off-shored and get back to me. Look up GE's tax rate for grins while you are at it. God you leftists are clueless.

Guess who was in charge when the tax laws/regulations changed to incentivize the move offshore for corporate America? I'll give you a hint... it wasn't Obama. George Bush single handedly destroyed the middle class and now it's supposed to get fixed overnight?

When you replace manufacturing jobs with Burger King and Wal-Mart bad things will happen, someone forgot to tell Bush that along with those manufacturing jobs went the income tax people paid on decent wages. No worries, we'll just give tax breaks to the guys leading the charge offshore. Brilliant, but it does maximize shareholder value. Even Warren Buffett realizes the idiocy in all this.

 

[wmuflyguy]

Glad to see your man is doing such a fantastic job after 2.5 years. Where to start?

First debt downgrade ever. Zero leadership (but great sound bites!) resulting in Congressional gridlock (unlike Ronald Reagan in a similar siutation in the 80s). New, huge entitlement program that will make the US worse than Greece financially if it comes to fruition. Zero economic PLAN. Slams Israel. No energy policy - we are still largely dependent upon Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. His economic advisors are dropping like flies and leaving in droves... HE HAS NO ECONOMIC PLAN AND NEVER DID. And, to top it off, he takes a long vacation in expensive Martha's Vineyard while unemployment lines grow...

And I lack intelligence? Really? You voted for him and I didn't. You bought his charisma and "cool" style. But "HOPE" only goes so far... Just think about it. Let me know if you find out what is economic plan is... It ain't working and he has not focused on it since he arrived.

Please tell us how our situation would be any better had Mr. McCain been elected? It wouldn't, especially for pilots.

Nothing is going to change with a republican in White House.

Leftists were completely in charge for over 2 years with a Super Majority in both houses and "The One" as president. Let's sum up what they accomplished shall we?

1. Instead of stopping 2 wars, he stayed and then entered into 2 more, soon to be 3 with Syria.
2. Gitmo is not only still open, it is humming on all cylinders.
3. Gas has doubled in price.
4. Inflation is ramping up
5. Unemployment that they will admit to is over 9%. for Blacks closer to 20%
6. He now wants the Fed to turn on the printing press for the 3rd time
7. Leftist countries China and Russia are now calling us the "Parasites"
8. No budget in well over 2 years

I could go on but it's too frightening. But The One could have fixed all of this if it wasn't for that obscure lunatic fringe of uneducated rednecks who belong to the Tea Party, who despite being so stupid, have managed to outthink and out maneuverer the "Most Brilliliant President Ever" and his White House full of Havard,Princeton and Yale professors. Is that what your telling me? Really?

So you actually believe that you just shut off two wars, not to mention fix the deficit that those wars have run up, AND fix the decimation of the middle class all in two years?

Let's take a look at what Cletus did:

1) Pissed away a government surplus and ran up a skyrocketing deficit, but Saddam did try to kill his daddy.

2) Eliminated the middle class and the income tax that went with it.

3) Danced like a puppet on a string for big oil and Haliburton.

4) Started two wars he had no plan for finishing and/or what happens afterwards.

5) Responsible for biggest increase in government since the 1940's, which includes the wildly successful TSA/DHS.

“We have now presided over the largest increase in the size of government since the Great Society,” said Sen. John McCain, the Republican candidate vying to replace Mr. Bush in the White House, during the first presidential debate.

I'm no fan of Obama but Jesus Christ and Superman all rolled into one are not going to fix that clusterf*ck in two years, no matter what Sarah Palin says.

 

[Sacha]

So should we give him four more years? Will that be enough? Or should he get four more after that. You conveniently ignored all my examples and stated it was too tough so let me focus on an easy one. Why, after 2 years of controlling everything with a Super majority to boot, could they not at least have written a budget? Don't go back to Bush or Palin and get all frothy mouthed about the Tea Party. Just answer that one simple question.

 

[Smarta$$]

So you are looking forward to four more years of Obama?

It simple... He is being blamed for FAR more than is his fault and FAR more than he has control over. So yes. It would be far better than Nutty Michelle or Yosemite Sam.

The Onion news paper said it best in one of their recent headlines: "Republicans Vote To Repeal Obama-Backed Bill That Would Destroy Asteroid Headed For Earth".

Its funny, because it is true. Fox news (yeah right news) and talk radio would have no trouble convincing a bunch of stupid sheep that the asteroid only had a 90% chance of destroying earth and that we can't afford it anyway.
