Otsikko: Re:Wrong Jules, you went from the use of sarcasm, to fear tactics. Very
The original post is below. The point here (made sarcastically) is that Obama is bragging about the "incredible strides" his administration has made. The author points out the huge deficit, and huge unemployment as hallmarks of Obama's policies. It's not meant as a fear tactic, it was meant to make fun of "The Great One."
(V): This man is pathetic. In a speech at a campaign fundraiser Wednesday night (August 3, 2011), president Obama said "...we have made some incredible strides together" but "...we're not even halfway there yet". Excuse me! Half way to where? Where are we going? Do we have to go? Or are you going to drag us kicking and screaming by the scruffs of our necks?
Do you mean you will take us to 18% unemployment instead of the current 9%, $28 trillion in debt instead of the current $14 trillion, $8 per gallon gasoline prices instead of $4? Will taxes double?
