*The unemployment rat...*The growth is still growth.<br />*The unemployment rate is headed in the right direction and has been for some time.<br />*The budget has been repeatedly subjected to Republican blockage.<br />*The deficit would be a lot less if the taxes went through.<br />*Most of that deficit was run up by Reagan and the Bushes. (And I don't really subscribe to 'national debt' as a credible statistic anyway, because it only looks at one side of the checkbook and completely disregards the money yourself are owed. Account balance is way better.)<br />*'Taxes' are not an expletive to my ears. Taxes are how you pay for things. If you have no taxes, you don't get to have things unless businesses that are purely motivated by maximizing profit decide to sell them to you at whatever price they believe you will pay once you realize you need to have things.<br />*Fast and Furious does not exactly strike me as a thing one would secede from the United States over.<br />*Nor do deaths at an embassy, which have periodically happened for as long as we've had embassies.

It couldn't possibly be about anything substantial, like 1.3% economic growth, a 7.9% unemployment rate, three years without a Federal Budget, $1.2 trillion annual deficits, a $16 trillion dollar national debt, the coming tax increases, Obamacare being forced on us, the Fast & Furious cover up, the Benghazi cover up ... yeah... it's all about Race.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660252045757291189noreply@blogger.com
