In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.

Instead of just attacking the poster, why don't you address the topic presented?? If its the "Same ol song and dance" it shouldn't be too hard to find and share a page of links, r perhaps cut-and-paste YOUR OWN THOUGHTS on the matter. Metacomet 's post is spot-on. BTW its Metacomet, "not "meatcomet" but we know you will say it was an accidental typo when called on it. Once upon a time, conservatives believed in personal responsibility and accountability. Not this generation. People are so consumed by their irrational hate for Obama, Democrats. or liberals (distinct but related entities) that they reverse spin the facts of history to meet their ugly bias.

To support Metacomet's reply to your idiot post... Nasdaq over 5000 today, straight up since President Obama took over the Oval Office in 2009 and got the Stimulus passed over repug opposition. What was happening when he took office?...GDP falling at rate of 8.6%, 750,000 Americans losing their jobs per month, housing industry over the cliff, American auto industry in free fall, banking/financial industry in chaos...fortunately American Seniors had Social Security and Medicare and Fixed Pensions provided and pushed by Progressive Democratic Governments to ride out the repug storm. C'mon.repug, tell us...what turned the Great Recession (Depression) around?
