Yeah, the "war" thing was a bit of political sarcasm, I know it doesn't really work that way.
Second, All the news except Fox are reporting upswings in manufacturing, sales, companies planning on hiring in the next year, stock markets swinging up, sales of existing homes and building of new ones. You can't judge a recovering economy by it's unemployment number, as it's always the LAST thing to recover.

Everybody?
I'm a 20-something white American-born male from a middle class family. I'm still as fucked as I ever was, and haven't seen a fucking dime of support from my government.
Gimme a new car? NO How about money for school? NO Capital to launch my business? NO

IMO young United States citizens have it a tad hard sometimes..
If I were from an asian country/family I would have a full ride to school, including housing. If I were to apply for that I would get laughed at.
A man from Nigeria came over and was trying to get into roofing, though he had no tools. Government paid for him to buy brand new tools. Travis said he fired him not long after because even though he had tools, he was still lazy as hell.
Where were my free tools when I needed them? I guess at the store where I had to buy them myself.. lol

I'm sure the craze will die out fairly soon. Unless he saves the world or something.

Commercial and residential construction are still at a dead halt, manufacturing is slowing down as a result, people are running into second and third year of joblessness and greater numbers of manufacturers are moving south, caterpillar used to order parts from a company local to me, now their suppliers are out of the country with the auto industry
billions in bail out money pumped into the auto industry and none have any plans to bring the work back to the US, in fact GM sent $5bn to south america and then begged for more money, the big 3 seem to be doing well in the rest of the world markets but the tax payer has to prop them up

How were the democrats responsible for the first gulf war??
Oh and as far as I am aware we have not actually declared war. As far as the government is concerned this is an operation.

Commercial construction is still dead, but residential housing is rising again. More homes are selling. More homes are being built. Like I said, unemployment is the last thing to recover after a recession, so it still being shitty is no surprise.
I'm not talking miracle numbers here, just very strong indications that the recession is ending and we're starting to head back up again.

You live in Washington, like me shock.
It's been just dandy here.
Yes I and others are struggling with unemployment
..but we really have it made in this state.
The housing market IS starting to slowly pick up here though(because everyone is saying it is, it's happening)
Everywhere else? I have no idea.
Back to the main point of this thread
Obama is a great icon to make $ off of. He's so COOL!
