Are you better off now then before you voted for Obama?

PERSONALLY --- This has nothing to do with waterboarding, Cheney, Halaburton, or Bush misprononouncing names. It has something to do with your net worth, your debt, your job, your future, etc.

If you are happy vote YES. if not vote NO

Are you better off now or before Obama became president?
by middleview

The economy got worse from November to January. The DOW hit 7229 in March, 2009. That was all due to Bush, not Obama.

I am much better off now than I was on January 20th. (DOW was at 8000 or so).

I took advantage of the $8000 tax credit for first-time home-buyers. [Thanks, chumps!]

And my 401K has recovered rather nicely since January.

Other than my mortgage, I have no debt. My job is secure, and I am certainly expecting a nice raise next May. [A 5% raise would be nice; a 10% raise would be nicer, and richly deserved.]

Hope you get a 10.0% raise LeROY….At the end of the day Obama will take 5.0% and give it to the Lazys that live just down the street from you.

"Bush Is No Longer President"
by LeRoy_Was_Here

Earlier this year, in February, an old man approached the Marine security guard stationed at the White House and said, "I would like to speak to President Bush."

The Marine guard looked at him strangely and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer President."

"Oh," the old man replied, and walked away.

Next day, the old man approached the same Marine guard again and said, "I would like to speak to President Bush."

And the Marine guard said, "Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer President!"

And the old man again said, "Oh," and walked away.

On the following day, once again, the old man walks up to the same Marine guard and says, "I would like to speak to President Bush."

And the exasperated Marine guard says, "Sir, for the third time, Mr. Bush is no longer President, and no longer lives here!! Don't you understand?"

And the old man says "Oh, I know. I just love hearing it!"

And the Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "Have a nice day, sir!!"

LWH, that's a variation on an older joke, in which Spencer Tracy attended the funeral of a wildly unpopular movie producer. Asked why he done so, Spence answered, "I wanted to be sure that the son-of-a-bitch was really dead."

How about you, Moose, are you better off than you were in January? Are, have you gone down the tubes?
"I Wanted To Be Sure The Son-Of-A-Bitch Was Really Dead"
by LeRoy_Was_Here

In 1959, a man went into a coma, and stayed comatose for almost ten years. He came out of his coma on March 29, 1969. Looking out of his hospital window, the first thing he noticed was that the American flag was at half-staff. When the nurse came in, he asked her why, and she replied that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had died the day before.

Extremely agitated, the man jumps out of his hospital bed, shouting "Oh no! Oh no! That means that son-of-a-bitch NIXON is President!!!!"

So far not to bad labor is easy to find, materials have smoothened, interest rates are good. Just can’t find enough buyers that have faith in the dollar.

2005 & 2006 were crazy good.. Exports suck.
