Its doing better; not doing well. It amazes me how indifferent you all are to the plight of other Americans I thought Obama fixed the economy three years ago.

>> It amazes me how indifferent you all are to the plight of other Americans...........esp the ones who are unemployed; how your wallets come first. Not everyone agrees that spending taxpayer dollar improves the plight of other Americans. That is your tunnel-vision point of view based on zero knowledge of economics or history. Henry Morganthau, who was in charge of spending the money for FDR's administration, famously said, "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work....After eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started...and an enormous debt to boot!" Expanding on this comment, "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot." So, while you cynically suggest that "we" don't care about other Americans, you should keep in mind that a lot of us are just looking at the facts, which are that when government spends money on "jobs", it doesn't NOT improve the "plight of the American People." At least if history is an indication. While you may cynically attribute attitudes that don't agree with yours to some kind of hatred toward other people, perhaps you ought to reexamine your OWN motivations. I can understand you being wrong to the detriment of fellow Americans, but it is hard to understand a continued commitment to a political ideology that has caused so much pain and suffering by the American people.

30% haven't been negatively affected by the sequester. Obama, OTOH, HAS affected more than that negatively.

CIA Agents Who Were In Benghazi Warned By CIA: Keep Silent – “You Jeopardize Your Family” ............................................................................................. Freedom Outpost ^ \| Aug 2, 2013 \| Tim Brown On Thursday, CNN’s Jake Tapper reported that the Central Intelligence Agency is now pressuring agents who were on the ground in Benghazi, Libya on the night of September 11, 2012 to keep silent and not talk to Congress or the media. The Hill reports: The CIA allegedly had “dozens” of agency operatives on the ground at the U.S. diplomatic annex in Benghazi, Libya, during last year’s deadly terrorist attack that ended with the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Langley is taking extreme measures to mask the agency’s operations in Benghazi and in northern Libya at the time of the strike, according to CNN. Agency employees involved with CIA operations in the country are being subjected to monthly polygraph tests, among other counterintelligence measures, an unnamed source told CNN. “Sources now tell CNN dozens of CIA agents were on the ground that night,” Tapper reported, “and the CIA is going to great lengths to make sure whatever they were doing and what happened that night remains a secret.” “It’s being described as pure intimidation with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employees who leaks information could face the end of his or her career,” Griffin added. The report a communication was referenced by a CIA source which revealed the effects of the threats against the agents. “You don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well,” an anonymous source wrote. “You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation,” another source added. “In the aftermath of the attack, [Rep. Frank] Wolf(R-VA) said he was contacted by people closely tied with CIA operatives and contractors who wanted to talk. Then suddenly, there was silence.” (Excerpt) Read more at freedomoutpost.com ...
