Just got my first pay stub for this year - $70 bucks lighter ($1680 less per year). Thanks O, and your sheeple supporters, way to turn my economy around.

If you got a Christmas bonus of $1000 in December, would you whine and **** that you got $1000 less in January?
Your welcome. Thanks for supporting war veterans and a retiring generation of baby boomers. You should call your congressman and tell him you are frustrated that he raised your taxes.

For SS, I sure do, it was never meant to be more than a temporary tax holiday.
For the Bush cuts, probably not. But very few of us here were hit by some of the income taxes being allowed to expire.
If I recall correctly though, Romney wanted to cut taxes further and peg defense spending to some ridiculous percentage of GDP all by being deficit neutral. Which was a mathematical impossibility.
Obama is a great president.

Sure was. Didn't complain much about Bush. Of course I was still in high school and college when he was in office.
Then again I have always lived by my high school economics teacher's motto. "The president has little control over the economy" and I expanded it to include my everyday life
If Romney won, I would be annoyed because it would be a step back for rights of women, ****s, and anyone classified "other" but I would still have to work the next morning.
Eh, my employer made their bed when they borrowed all that money.

False about the being wrong. A president cannot control an economy our size.
Also, people evolve and change. I don't think he did it for votes, then again I don't care. I know plenty of **** people who were thrilled that the president of the united states said on national television that he supports **** marriage and **** rights.

Of course it's wrong. The course the president charts sets precedent that greatly affects the economy. Tax policy does this. Regulation does this. Who he puts in charge of the EPA does this. Reagan's policies greatly changed the economy from 76-80 to 80-84. Bush's evil tax cuts brought unprecedented growth, and the largest tax revenues in the history of the nation. If a president can't control an economy, why did we let him p**** his stimulus bill? He can't control the economy, so there is never any point for a pres to push stimulus.
If you don't like the examples of Reagan and Bush, let's go further back. Wilson's policies, the policies changed by Coolidge, and the growth that ensued. Changing from Coolidge to Hoover to FDR gave us drastically different policies--and drastically different economic results. FDR-Truman-Eisenhower-JFK--economies and policies? LBJ-Nixon-Ford-Carter-back at Reagan? Look at presidential policies and the economic times they oversee.

I look forward to the day you evolve and change and look back on the election of '12 and realize that anyone duped by the Democratic Party into voting on social issues that year was the stupidest thing they've ever done ... except for believing an idiotic teacher who told them presidents can't control an economy. Of course, that teacher doesn't have to worry about getting things wrong, given that his union will never let him get fired.
I thought the only thing that changed was the expiration of the SS tax holiday that O signed in
