You have yet to factually substantiate your first assertion.

So why are you posting in a thread that asks "Has Obama improved our economy"?

Trying to have it both ways?

BTW, my name isn't Connie.

It's my "opinion" that the economy is gaining jobs instead of losing them, that companies are doing more hiring than firing, and that the stock market has been trending up? Really? You sure you want to stick w/ that assertion?

It's your opinion until you support it with evidence.

Have you done so?

My first assertion is 100% fact, unless you'd like to claim that the economy continues to lose jobs as it was in 2009, and that the stock market is crashing currently. Would you like to issue that claim? Please feel free. I would enjoy that.

As for my initial response, I was basically just pointing out the inherent flaw in trying to assign causality to one man for the economy's health or lack thereof.

Let's start with the market: the market is up, not down. It's up for today, and it's up for the year, and it's certainly up from where it was in 2009. And it isn't crashing.

I am presenting that fact. Do you dispute that fact? Or is it your claim that the market is currently crashing? Please answer the question directly.

I can't dispute what you don't even attempt to prove, can I?

Have you got evidence, or not?

At least you seem to think Obama is not improving our economy.

Does that mean you aren't the lone voter who said he is and claimed they could prove it with facts?

Please answer the question directly.

My proof is the Dow Jones average.

Do you not know what that is, or watch the market? And if that's the case, why in the world are you starting threads about the economy?

I didn't vote in the poll, btw.
 
Big money said:
Link up, then. And explain how one indicator = an improving economy, and how Obama is responsible for the alleged improvement.



So your presence in this thread is for...what, exactly?

Link to the Dow average? You can go to any of the news websites - CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Reuters - take your pick. Stop w/ the cat who ate the canary, dummy routine. You know the market has gone up. If you do not, you should not be discussing the economy.

I'm on the thread for debate & discussion, which is what the board is for (not sure if anyone has made you aware of that - you seem to think the board is strictly for trolling).

None of the aabove is the answer. He hasn't been able to improve the US economy because the bagger swine have prevented any progress. They're racists and haters who can't get over the fact that a black president must be uppity.

So making statements, insisting they are "facts" while refusing to corroborate them is what you term "debate & discussion"?

If you do, you should not be discussing the economy.

You still haven't addressed the question posed in the thread title, have you?

Do you dispute the fact that the market is up since 2009?

Is that a difficult one to answer for you?

I answered; I said that the economy has improved, but it's challenging to ascribe causality to that. It's not that hard to understand.

And you seemed to have a problem w/ the mere contention that the economy has improved. I'll take your non-answer as a non-answer.
