Freepers are delusional

[samrock]

All one must do is compare the state of the nation in 2008 President Bush’s last year in office to the state of the nation today and Sen Inhofe would be proven correct.

President Bush left the White House with the budget almost in balance and the stock market was Bullish.

In 2008 we had little dependence on imported oil and today almost all of our oil comes from Obama’s kinfolk in OPEC.

.... What REALLY bothers me is when they are able to spread the mis truths to others and the media

1. So are most of the people on DU.

Seems to be a consensus here that Obama is an evil right-winger.

[immoderate]

3. I never said "evil."

10. I never used a hyphen.

lol

5. Interesting tactic. Insult DU as a way to minimize the insanity

on the far right. Two birds with one stone, eh?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Logic has a name for this... what is it... oh yes

POISONING THE WELL

[tabasco]

15. The well

was already full of shit.

See posts 3 and 10 for stinking examples.

13. Lot of people hate him here for reasons just as stupid.

Different reasons, but just as stupid.

[immoderate]

2. Sounds like Eric Cantor.

4. I call it "deliberately misinformed".

6. Freepers is too restrictive. Nearly 1/2 the country is delusional.

But since Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck never discussed it during the 8 long Bush years, and since both blame Obama for the problem, it must be true. And show them facts and figures that prove to the contrary and they STILL won't believe you.

Do you have a link to the thread? I just wondered if anyone corrected the idiot. My guess? No.

7. Some people do not realize that...

...Bush's last year in office was when the trickle-down economy came tumbling down. That was September of that year that he had to beg for $700 billion for the TARP bailout. Before the bailout, we were expected to have a record deficit of over $400 billion dollars. The stock market was dropping like a rock and would drop to about 6500 before it started recovering its losses. Also, we were losing over 700,000 jobs per month the month he left office. That was an average of over 8 million jobs lost per year if the hemorrhaging had not been stopped. And last of all, domestic oil production has increased under Obama. It is strange what some folks believe. Why do you think they believe like that??

9. Really? On Fri. Jan. 16, 2009 (markets were closed 1/18 for MLK)

Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA ) Close - 8281.22 Up 68.73
Nasdaq Stock Market Close - 1529.33 Up 17.49
S&P 500 Close - 850.09 Up 6.35

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8281 on 1/16/09, as the stock market rallied as Bank of America ( BAC ) and Citigroup ( C ) released horrible earnings but Intel ( INTC ) showed us that earnings might not be so bad for the 4th quarter. The Dow Jones opened up around 8300, dropped to 8100, and then bounced back into the 8300 area at the end of the day. Bill Gross came out in the afternoon and stated that the worst of the credit crisis as far as these banks' balance sheets go, could be over. This would be great news. Monday, the Stock Market will be closed followed by the Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama on Tuesday. Stocks could rally because of this just like what happened leading up to the Election. I think 8500 could be difficult to get through however. I will have more technical analysis of the markets over the weekend, Right Here. Stock to Watch - Palm - continues to surge after the new product was released at the CES.

Today:

11. At that moment..

It had lost about 6000 points from its previous record high. It kept dropping after Obama was elected.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Was up considerably the day after Obama took office....

14. That was a momentary rise...

However, it did continue to decline for about another 1500 points before stabilizing. It was a very precarious time for all.

[Old and In the Way]

16. Obviously, an employee of the Bush Presidential Library.

The $500MM reclamation project, trying to change the reality of what happened between 2000-2008. Sorry, Uncle Slayton, the only people believing this bullshit are the core morons that infest the FR.

[Honeycombe8]

17. All extremists are delusional. And have tunnel vision. Their view is the only view. nt

[Motown_Johnny]

18. Remember that they protested taxes on April 15th 2009, as if those were Obama's fault

Of course they are delusional



There entire philosophy is false



Good luck getting them to see it
