Also, in 1980 the mortgage interest rate hit a whopping 21.5 percent!  According to census tables, average real family income fell from $32, 319 to $30,916 from 1978 to 1981.  The misery index (inflation + unemployment) was super high in 1980 and reached 21 percent (13.6 percent inflation and 7.2 percent unemployment).<br>And the Cold war? Huh!  I don\u2019t even want to write about his lackluster response to the Soviets! Also, let's not even mention the Iranians who took Americans hostage in November of 1979!  Those hostages were released immediately after Reagan was sworn in. THANKFULLY Carter served one term.  At least Americans did something right by electing Reagan to fix Carter's mess.<br><br>What does homeboy Carter get\u2026??? Applause\u2026Cheers! Hip Hip Hooray's!!!<br><br>Conversely, under Bush\u2026 there was 54 consecutive months of job growth (after the 2003 tax-cuts), 40% increase in education spending (which helped close the achievement gaps especially between black and white fourth graders), there was an overall increase in the GDP, strong record on national defense and security\u2026and BUSH get\u2019s booed!  <br><br>Gotta love America.  It\u2019s just a little too ironic\u2026isn\u2019t it?    <br><br>By the way, President Obama could learn a thing or two from the Carter years.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-24_03:06:27", "killed": false, "user_key": "8d2fb400d4ecc6ee98f6187231c6c144", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 18, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5512653": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Here Here!", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-24_02:19:36", "killed": false, "user_key": "Justice58", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": true, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 5512570, "depth": 1, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5516240": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Man, the trolls have been out on this post.

A lot of the white progressives I read are not happy that it seems as if it is always the left that compromises. The words of the repubs came across not as "what can we do to align more with you" but " you need to give us what we want". That has been the last eight years.<br><br>Obama is not only talking to the right with the "Enough" statement and the "I won" statement but also to those who are whining even more annoyingly IMO on the left.  You know the Naderites, the Pumas and the Edwards people. Let alone the nihilists and anarchists.<br><br>LOL</div>\

They wanna know why they can\'t get their way with ALL of their incessant demands? Because he won dammit.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5518364" class="dsq-comment-message">Actually, I think that both sides are making a bigger deal about this story than it was to the people involved.  From the reports that I read, the President was pointing out philosophical differences with Cantor about a tax issue and both agreed that there were differences--and then the President said that, well, I won, or I\'m president, so I think that my viewpoint will prevail.  Based on this quip, people thought it was a light hearted comment--including the person it was directed too--Cantor--and they started laughing.  <br><br>I think this is the problem with politics.  Everybody is looking for a fight.  I think there will certainly be some in the near future--but the way this quote has been played up and characterized in the media (and by some on the left), doesn\'t square with what was said by the person who it was directed to (who didn\'t think it was combative at all apparently), and the other people in the room who felt the president was making a point, but also making a good natured joke about it.   It\'s like people are either looking for a reason to be offended or looking for an opportunity to put a stick in their opponent\'s eye.  I think both sides need to grow the heck up.  <br><br>That being said, I find it interesting that people on the right took this story and ran with it as Obama playing King, when according to numerous reports, Obama has done more outreach pre-inaugaration and now in his first week to Republicans than Bush did in years.  <br><br>So do I think that Obama should put down dissent, no, but everyone needs a little perspective.  Barack Obama is not Bill Clinton and he is not George Bush.  People are either going to give him a chance to lead, or they are going to continue to look for these petty fights.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5513162" class="dsq-comment-message">I meant to write about this yesterday but the Obamabots gave me a headache.  How is it that former president, Bush, who has taken precautions the last 7 years-to prevent another terrorist attack, on our soil, gets booed and Jimmy Carter gets cheers and unabashed applause?  <br><br>I couldn’t believe it.  Then again, it was an audience filled with liberals! They\'re suffering from a case of (what I call) voluntary selective amnesia also. <br><br>I understand the cheers for the Clintons (even though he left a recession for Bush that the mainstream media has a hard time remembering--another example of voluntary selective amnesia).   But Jimmy Carter?  For real?  I wasn’t born when Carter was president…but…I’ve read what occurred under his watch!  A little history…for those of you who weren’t around.  Or, maybe some of you suffer from this disorder when it comes to the Carter era also...so here\'s a dose of reality about Carter years...<br><br>•Budget deficit went from 40 billion in 1979 to 74 billion in 1980. <br>•Carter allowed one failed energy policy after another which included gas rationing, odd-even license plate system for rotating days where Americans could buy gas. <br>•Automobile prices increased 72%. <br>•Gasoline prices increased 60%. <br>•2 billion “investment”(*cough* "stimulus") in “Synthetic Fuels”, which was an alternative renewable energy corporation that didn’t produce any electricity by the time it collapsed in 1982. <br>•Carter and his advisers used lots of Keynesian methods in desperate but failed attempts to revitalize the economy.  Of course, because of this inflation ensued.    <br>•In the beginning of 1978 inflation was 7% and later climbed to 9 percent.  In 1979 it hit 12 percent, and in 1980 shot up to 14.5 percent!!!  Also, in 1980 the mortgage interest rate hit a whopping 21.5 percent!  According to census tables, average real family income fell from $32, 319 to $30,916 from 1978 to 1981.  The misery index (inflation + unemployment) was super high in 1980 and reached 21 percent (13.6 percent inflation and 7.2 percent unemployment).<br>And the Cold war? Huh!  I don’t even want to write about his lackluster response to the Soviets! Also, let\'s not even mention the Iranians who took Americans hostage in November of 1979!  Those hostages were released immediately after Reagan was sworn in. THANKFULLY Carter served one term.  At least Americans did something right by electing Reagan to fix Carter\'s mess.<br><br>What does homeboy Carter get…??? Applause…Cheers! Hip Hip Hooray\'s!!!<br><br>Conversely, under Bush… there was 54 consecutive months of job growth (after the 2003 tax-cuts), 40% increase in education spending (which helped close the achievement gaps especially between black and white fourth graders), there was an overall increase in the GDP, strong record on national defense and security…and BUSH get’s booed!  <br><br>Gotta love America.  It’s just a little too ironic…isn’t it?    <br><br>By the way, President Obama could learn a thing or two from the Carter years.</div>\

Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism coordinator and author of the memo, urged Rice to review on al Qaeda and included several documents that remain classified.<br><br>Former president Bill Clinton mentioned in a Fox News interview in September 2006 that he was criticized by Republican senators and congressmen for being "too obsessed with al Qaeda." Ciinton acknowledged that he authorized the CIA to find and kill bin Laden, but they were unsuccessful. Instead, he charged Clark to develop a memo outlining strategies against al Qaeda and warn them about the threat they pose to our national security. Instead of taking the documents seriously, the memos were dismissed and Clark was demoted. According to the documents made public, not one meeting was conducted on al Qaeda in the eight months before September 11. <br><br>So before you begin ranting about how liberals do not know to protect their borders, I think you need to thoroughly review the information above and write it down on a notecard...you know, just in case you forget.</div>\

And if you knew facts instead of reciting your parrotted talking points, then you would know that  there were NUMEROUS warnings and signs preceded the horrible events of 9/11 and Bush and his team IGNORED and were slow to act.  Bush\'s term began January 2001, not September 11, 2001...you Rethugs tend to forget his photo-ops of sweating and chopping wood at Crawford, TX while continued on vacation after bulletins like "bin Laden is dermined to strike.<br><br>And by the way, under Bush job growth has been the LOWEST in 40 years...yes 40 years.  And that is not a rant but a fact.  Get your head out of your ass and come back to reality.</div>\
