Yeah, sure, Songwronger! Everybody knows that Obama is totally responsible for Hurricane Sandy.

He was also responsible for the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Dust Bowl disaster, the Great Depression, the Mount St. Helens eruption, Hurricane Katrina, the BP oil spill. . . .

That's the problem I have with almost the whole Democratic Party when they're in power. It's like a bunch of Republican wolves dressed up in "liberal" sheep's clothing. They fight foreign wars just like the Republicans do. They persecute Iran just like the Republicans do. They back Israel without fail just like the Republicans do. They take away your civil rights just like the Republicans do. They work in concert with the banksters and the big corporates just like the Republicans do.

But they talk like they were "liberals"! Amazing. And sickening.

I would certainly have voted for Obama this last time (a wolf in sheep's clothing) rather than vote for Romney (a wolf in wolf's clothing). But only with a sense of grim resignation...I know that what ends up in Washington anyway is still really just another wolf...whether or not he looks like a wolf.

"It does look like FEMA was late, and then inefficient, in responding to a disastrous hurricane. "

BS! A disastrous hurricane is **impossible** to prepare for totally and/or be responded to to suit everyone! FEMA pre-positioned materials, staff, and organized aid workers. Teams of electrical workers from all over the country were in the area BEFORE the storm. It was a BIG storm.. at high tide... and it did bad stuff to people who thought they just HAD to live right in low areas beside the ocean. FEMA did amazing things getting to many of them.

If you define 'efficient' and 'early' as 'making everyone happy in 24 hours'...then sure...

A lot of business owners were waiting to see if Obama would be re-elected before making up their minds on closures. There was a chance that Romney would reverse some of the Obama policies so disastrous for small businesses, but not now. So they're folding.

But some are managing to stay in business by slashing their workers' hours to 29 per week, one hour shy of the 'full time' mark. By carrying them as part-timers, they don't need to provide insurance.

That's the cost of Obamacare:
* You work a crappy job and only accept the crappy pay so you can have health coverage.
* Obamacare makes it necessary for your boss to cut your hours so you lose your insurance, AND you are now required by law to carry health insurance.
* You're now employed part-time with crappy pay (and fewer hours), and you have to add hundreds of bucks per month to your budget for health insurance. Or pay the penalty. Excuse me, "tax."

Tell me again how Obama gives a shit about the poor.

Good point mentioned Songwronter

It's becoming the way of the future.

That is an issue that is happening here in N.B. Canada, creating more temporary jobs, and/or hiring people on as casual (e.g. health care workers, gov't jobs and now corporate type positions)   ... these temporary/casual kind of positions is also becoming common in Portugal along with hiking up the sales and income taxes.

When a business owner is forced to cut an employee's hours to 29/week because of Obamacare, and the employee loses health insurance, and someone formerly covered under the policy dies, then Obama committed the murder.

Obama's committing genocide against the American people, while you limousine liberals are feeling flush with victory. But it's a Pyrrhic victory. Your own families and neighbors will fall prey to Obama's anti-human policies.

Interesting ..... it shows there is certainly less money being spent by consumers. That's because they don't have the money or credit.

It doesn't really matter who won the election ... as the economic system (as we know/knew it) has blown it's wad and is obviously failing ... the Corporate Oligarchy is hanging on tightly to preserve it's wealth and control regardless who was elected.

And to those that have permanent jobs with benefits ... be prepared for change ... more and more will find themselves as temporary/casual/contracted workers with no benefits and working less hours ... and I should mention you'll probably be paying more in taxes.

"Trump Plans Billionaires March On Washington
   
Billionaires will hire proxies to march for them

WASHINGTON (The Global Edition) — At a jointly held press conference today, Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch announced that they would be organizing "The Million, Billionaires march on Washington."

After selling their list of demands to the reporters present, Trump spoke up, "There is no 'affirmative action' for billionaires. I went to vote, I couldn't even get a cocktail with it. Furthermore, they only let me vote once. I own over 200 corporations in the United States and those corporations are people too. Had we gotten to vote only once for every corporation that we own, the results of this election would be quite different."

"I don't see why poorer people should vote at all," Murdoch interjected. "Eventually we'll let the voting right trickle down to them."

"This will be unlike your traditional march, because we won't actually be marching. We will hire proxies to march for us and furthermore there aren't a million billionaires, there are only about four hundred of us, and Gates, Buffett and Bloomberg have refused to join us. So far we expect to have the proxies for The Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson and Mitt Romney, of course," stated Trump.

There is growing support in The House of Representatives for legislation that would give aid to billionaires. "This won't cost us one cent," stated Representative, Eric Cantor, "All that we have to do is extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent, reduce school lunch programs, and it will work. I don't want to bore you with the math."

It has been learned that "aid to billionaires" language has been earmarked onto a bill guaranteeing all injured veterans one meal per day, which had been stalled in committee for two years.

Here's what I think. Obama is being mislead by sinister forces in the U.S. McCain, Leiberman and Graham are making arms deals with the Syrian opposition, absolute opportunism for the munitions industry, and going behind Obama's back to do so.
There are factors going on behind the scenes that Americans don't know about and there are elements in the GOP who are trying to sabotage Obama's presidency. There may be some Dems who are doing this too.

Still, the foreign policy decisions are wrong for the country, more drones, more troop escalations or occupations, more support for Israel's misdeeds and some of this must be attributed to Obama but not all.

As long as taxpayers are funding munition sales, shoring up world dictators, keeping Wall Street criminals out of jail, running Bagrams and Guantanmos, and supporting media propaganda, no president will ever be able to make a recovery. Romney certainly wouldn't be able to do it with his elitist ideology. At least Americans had sense enough to see that.

It's hilarious how certain self-absorbed blowhards around here react to any criticism of Obama on the basis that it MUST be coming from someone who supported Romney and is a "rightwinger"! Ha! Funny, that is.

Talk about lazy thinking and total lack of attention! They must read only what they want to read and not even SEE the other words in the posts of the people they disagree with about something. Songwronger and Henry have both made it absolutely plain over and over again that they considered Romney to be an utter disaster. Neither one of them is a rightwinger.

You don't HAVE to be for Romney or the Republicans or on the Right to have some reasons for criticizing the Democratic administration. Wake up, for God's sake, and actually READ the posts of the people you can't be bothered to do anything but stereotype and spit puerile insults at. You are youselves "noisy asses who contribute nothing of any substance" here, but mostly just engage in ad hominem attacks. You attack some people here for supposedly being upset that Romney lost.............Say What?????????....they were never wanting him to win in the first place!

And by the way...I'm absolutely delighted that Romney lost. But I expect more BS, war, and other corrupt nonsense from the 2nd Obama administration in spite of that. As far as I'm concerned, both those parties routinely betray the electorate once they're in office...with one discernable difference: the Republicans are usually the worse of the two in certain respects. That's why I'm glad Romney lost and Obama won. I'd be even gladder if they both lost, and those 2 parties ceased to exist at all, because they are criminal organizations in the employ of a criminal elite.

Yeah, Little Hawk got it right up there, about both parties routinely betraying the electorate. Though I think Romney would have delivered on his lunacy. And he is a loon. Calls himself a saint, to begin with. Then the saint says he "likes to fire people." Proud of raiding pension funds. He's a total psycho. I'm glad he lost, because he would have been onboard with that other top-tier psycho Netanyahu for an attack on Iran. At least the Muslimish lunatic Obama will drag his feet on that front. Indonesian boy going around the world bowing to Muslim kings and princes. Obama belongs in a whore house, not the white house. He won a squeaker against the most insane candidate to run in modern times. Tells you how much America hates Obama. We know what he's doing. Transfer of wealth and all that. But it's not a Marxist transfer--he's passing it through the corporations, the banks. So it's a fascist transfer. Anyway, given the alternative I'm glad he was re-elected. Let his pinheads shout their adulation from the gutters when he strips them of their property. My family is ready for the Obamanization of the country. We're good to go on the survival front, and it will be a true joy watching you limousine liberals have to come to grips with what you've done. If you've been drinking the Obama-flavored kool aid then you're in no way prepared for what's about to hit the U.S. Sandy was a freakin' category 1 hurricane, and the feds couldn't get the power back on after a decent interval. While the media praised Obama for taking the situation in hand. Bush had a category 4-5 in Katrina, and you people still squall about that, but Obama's category 1 was an opportunity to laud the Chosen One for his leadership skills. You fuckin dolts.

"RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Smithfield Foods Inc. said Wednesday that it will begin its previously announced shutdown of a Virginia facility that makes hot dogs and deli meat.

The Smithfield, Va.-based company said layoffs will start at the Portsmouth plant in January and it will close at the end of March. The first layoffs at the Smithfield Packing Co. facility will involve about 120 workers, with more than 400 workers affected by the time plant is closed, said Jeff Gough, Smithfield's senior vice president for human resources. Employees have been offered transfer opportunities.

Smithfield Foods, the world's biggest pork producer, announced plans last November to close the plant in 2013 and shift production to a facility in Kinston, N.C. At the time, the company said it was closing the plant, built in the 1970s, because it cannot support the manufacturing technology changes and product development necessary to meet the company's needs.

Smithfield will bring a new $80 million state-of-the-art hot dog plant online in its fiscal fourth quarter next spring."

doesn't sound like the end of the world for them....
