Everyone knows that the Dayton economy was be the envy of the world when Bush was President. Now look at it. Thanks a lot, President Obama.

As usual, the MSM failed to report that Obama started the whole economic collapse before he took office. Pretty clever. Actually began this evil project while he was in 4th grade. You’ll never read that in the New York Times because they know the public just can’t handle the truth.

He spent a million dollars of our tax dollars to come here and speak for 10 minutes. That’s real hope and change, huh? Wolves are in the hen house. God help us.

Hey Sam, nice quote. “The Republicans method of blocking, delaying, and obstructing legislation proves that they are incapable of coming up with any new ideas or solutions.” Not sure what country you are living in b/c the Republicans don’t have the numbers to stop, delay, or obstruct anything. And when there was that possibility, the voters in VERY LIBERAL Massachusetts elected a Republican. So what did your Dem folk do? Ram through a health care bill no one wanted. Dems created the mess (Barney Frank started the Fannie Mae mortgage mess, Wall Street is run by Dems - they give to Dems by a 4 to 1 ratio, and now Barry wants to increase taxes on oil companies - oh, I’m sure they won’t pass along those fees in higher gas prices). You Dems need to start look at history and learn something. FDR started the entitlement mess, LBJ expanded it and made it worse, and now Barry is making it worse by taking over health care. At least Bill Clinton (b/c of a GOP Congress) actually cut back on welfare and guess what, that govt program shrank and because people had an incentive not to rely on the government for everything. Big cities like Detroit and Dayton are a mess because they are run by Dems who believe in big govt. And don’t give me the Mike Turner as mayor argument, he is one of 5 votes on the city council. Look at the libs who run Dayton and Mont county and is there a wonder the county and city are dying and people are moving to the Republican counties of Miami, Warren and Butler. Dem policies just don’t work. Time you libs figure it out

It was the Democrats in Congress that got us in this mess. President Bush was a lame duck. He couldn’t get anything passed with the Democratic majority in Congress. Now we have a Democratic President and Congress who are pushing socialist policies through without even allowing Republicans or the people to read these bills and see what they are all about. Such arrogance! To believe that the government can create more jobs than the private sector and that it has the right to determine which industries succeed is crazy!!

I’m pleased and proud to have President Obama visit our state. While he works on the recession, failed banks, job losses, corruption, and two wars, left by the previous administration, we should support his efforts to get our country back to work. The Republicans method of blocking, delaying, and obstructing legislation proves that they are incapable of coming up with any new ideas or solutions. The GOP is stuck in the 1950’s and seem unable to find new provide leadership to solve problems in the 21st century. When John Boehner said that taxpayers should pay for the oil spill cleanup, I was floored. Why should we bail out a corporation that has continued to have safety violations?

Anyone ever note that Barry O. isn’t that smart? Bad economy - more taxes. Businesses hurting - more regulations. “oh, but he got into Harvard” - but, he has never released his grades prior to Harvard… I don’t think you’re gonna see all A’s, affirmative action is the name of the game at Harvard

Why is he coming? To push his new gas tax increases because Ohioans aren’t already taxed enough on the gas we buy? Thanks for proposing more tax increase Mr President, I’m sure that will help create jobs.

I did not care for George W. Bush, neither did I agree with the Americans who supported him. That said, I never wished death or dismemberment on him. He was our leader and our President. As an Honorably discharged US Army-Viet Nam Era Veteran- I will NEVER be against my Commander and Chief no matter which party he belongs to. I am an American first and a Democrat second. If you search deeply you will find that most of the vocal people in this country are just that, VOCAL! They wouldn’t sacrifice anything other than their arrogant verbal opinions. They would never contemplate putting anything on the line. They hide in their houses, protected by those who serve, issuing all sorts of pontificating opinions but ask them to put some “skin in the game” and they run like scared rats deserting a sinking ship.

Well, I guess the trick didn’t work! Let an old man (McCain), black man (OBama), or women(Palin) have the job. It’s a mess! So the “establishment” thought! Wait for another year when Obama’s plan really begins to reap a harvest. It was the Republicans that got here in the first place, and it will be a Democrat to get us out. Wait and See.

Why is it that if someone opposes Obama the dems have to call names like wingnuts? I am ashamed to admit I voted for the man but if I had it to do all over again it would not happen. The guy talks out of both sides of his mouth which makes him ineffective!!! He just needs to go away!!

Word is that BHO is going to grace Muirfield Village Golf Club with his presence, tee time approximately 1:00PM. Problem is Muirfield is a non-smoking course, so we’re trying to work something out to allow his puffing on the course. Our members won’t be too happy to see him though, they’re all much smarter than him and don’t appreciate those who can’t follow the rules.

Here we go another campaign rally stop again for Obama. He’ll try to say that the Ohio unemployment rate is lowering and the truth is that the unemployment rate for Dayton in April 2010 was 13.7% and tied for 307 out of 350 in the country for metropolitan area.

Well Willie,without all those needless housing starts and an over-hiring at the federal level,Bush’s “economy” was smoke and mirrors.As soon as he left,Republicans THEN cried about too many in government and unqualified people buying homes.Republicans got all the answers——as soon as they’re voted out !!!

I watched Zero last night on the news. There he was in a restaurant/cafe (somewhere along the Gulf coast) speaking to the crowd about what he wanted to do… and even then he WAS READING FROM A notebook (three-ring binder with talking point pages )of prepared remarks. He is such a string puppet. And we are on the receiving end.
