How is Obama seen in the US? I'm not sure of his policies and such but in general he comes across quite well whenever he talks.
Its irrelevant to the extent that he if elected, he would be flying the most expensive flight in the world.
Well you know the massive amount of security that will be at the convention, including local, state, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, and probably even some military, they will not be protecting anyone right?
What the people behind it really want, is to be armed so that if their candidate does not get the nomination they can open fire.
That's kind of like asking if Man United are well liked in England...
Pretty good description, very well liked by many and hated by a fairly large portion. I fall somewhere in the middle personally. Much better than most of our presidential candidates so, relatively speaking, he was great. Unfortunately he was obstructed quite a bit and he was still somewhat shackled by special interests.
he is generally liked because he always comes across as a decent good man. But he has been more effective in foreign policy and at least taking the first steps to universal health care.
must not forget his saving the motor industry. He had a shit economy that bush handed over to him. But in general he has done little for the poor and middle income families.

This is why I stand firmly with business interests, clearly the voice of moderation, taking hits from both the left and right.

Bernie switched to private jet in December. Which is why I posted those links!
The before last sentence I think is quite meaningful in relation to the last one. The poor and middle class would be a lot worse off if let's say GDP per capita were 5% below where it is, and unemployment 5% above.

Balls of steel for a GOP governor in a southern state to veto the bill.
Marvel are currently filming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in Georgia and they said they would stop filming and move to somewhere else if the bill passed. It's great that this has happened, just really sad that it took the loss of business and money for it to be stopped.
He's always been pro-business if nothing else. The NC governer is the same too, which makes me wonder how he let a discriminatory bill pass legislation recently.
Yep, he probably forecast the business blowback. The NC Gov will eventually capitulate as well.
to say they will be worse off if..... is simply not enough. We should not have poverty at the levels we have in the richest country on earth. This is the key to a proper economic recovery.
That's a pretty bold claim (if I'm reading it right). What scenario do you see with a 5% drop in GDP and (consequent?) 5% rise in unemployment?
You were reading it wrong.
We might actually see blood in Cleveland come July.
Sell out!
Its just a hypothetical where the government somehow screws up the post-2008 recovery, GDP contracts more than 2.8% in 2009, doesn't recover 2.5% in 2010 and remain at said levels. A simple trajectory of -4%, +0.5% and 2s thereafter would get you there. If the recovery had gone like that unemployment would've been higher throughout, and they move kind of concurrently.
No great insight to be derived from these imaginings, my point was only that actions of the government since 2009 that helped the economy not contract more have large significance to the well-being of poor and lower middle-class population, since lower income and employment would hit them hardest (as it always happens when there are economic troubles).
Am I the only one who finds her extremely annoying?
Republicans love of money overrides their love of religion. Which is somewhat funny when you consider that love of money makes you a bad christian.
I guess I agree. He spent most of his 2 terms firefighting Bush's mess, and what he could have done 'positively' with domestic policy was constrained by the GOP.

Pretty good read, not anything we don't know already but always cool to see some models and numbers.

No, you are not.
There's a petition on Change.org to allow open carry during the republican convention. Get on it and sign it

Can you imagine?
I imagine the life expectancy for anybody who looks vaguely muslim in the vicinity being measured in seconds
A free bar would help spice things up too, I'd sign a petition for that too
she is getting too full of herself
That's a great line.
It's no wonder she can't get a bloke.
this was my line of thinking, but the Secret Service has already stated, they won't allow anyone to be armed
Let's see if they are really serious about this open carry business if it affects them personally
How on earth can a country that has so many amazing people end up with such thin pickings for a presidential race?
