Good work ignoring what I said about the title of this thread that you created. You mean to say that your equation of Obama to Hoover, despite the fact of it in the title, is in no way what you're trying to say? I'm not going to go back and read 5 pages of posts about this nonsense. You're a disingenuous flamethrower and you know it so I will cease to feed the troll.
Well, there certainly is no doubt at all that he was trying to tar Obama with little Bush's myriads of destructive mistakes.

I don't see that any other interpretation than deliberate, intentional lying in support of an ultra-right-wing totalitarian set of hyper-religious candidates who want to turn us into the Christian version of Iran.

EXACTLY! Since they own the media, they are still doing it. Their presently most effective strategy is to refer to all of Obama's efforts to stop the economic plunge---efforts started by the Bush-bunch---have been deliberately labeled "infusions," "bailouts," "Pumping in funds" and "propping up" companies and banks. Every effort is made to hide the fact that most of this is loans which will be paid back. The result is that the public now has the idea that the "spending" is going to wreck the future and that "our children and grandchildren will suffer for our profligate ways." It has given the profligate Republicans (Reagan and Bush both caused inflations) who now have a unifying cry: "we are for fiscal responsibility!"

So propaganda trumps actual numerical numbers?

ways."


Isn't - this true (except for the "our", you and yours can take full credit ).

Let's hear more about this dangerous secession. Are the conspirators meeting in the Obamavilles?

Reality trumps dogmatic delusion.

Why else is Texas trying to seceed? That's their open, obvious attempt to start a civil war.

The intent, the behavior, all painfully obvious, from the calls for Obama to FAIL, to (*&( with the country in the process, to the attempted secession of Texas. You lost the election, now you want to try out a new civil war. You must WIN AT ALL COSTS, never mind what it does to the country, you must WIN AT ALL COSTS.
My apologies, I have not checked the news lately. Why didn't you simply state that the secession had already occurred?

Looks like no Obamavilles in the soveriegn nation of Texas.
