So I assume your dumbass is gonna point to CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes and NPR (and the atlantic to some extent)

But what you discount is that the Financial Times, New Yorker, Fortune, and Business Insider are fairly conservative especially when it comes to economics. So the point here is he has spanned the spectrum, unless you are holding your breath for logical people to go on the joke that is Fox News... or perhaps Fox News Latino now! Hola hombres, dont worry about that other channel that we say we should round you up with pitch forks and brooms ablaze, here at Fox News Latino we see you as a number that increases our ad revenue and could be persuaded to vote against your interests!

People are free to make their own conclusions.

Kind of defensive and somewhat racist aren't we?

Of course the only neutral media i see there is the Financial Times. IMO the New Yorker and Fortune aren't really serious financial publications.

as for Business Insider, he's the founder, CEO and Editor in Chief so not a very good credential citation.

Henry Blodget was charged with civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2 million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement.

Go ahead, libs, hang your hat on the word of an admitted fraudster.

Keep trying to deny the obvious fact that Obama is a disastrous failure, shit for brains.

WTF is Agenda 21 and why do libs keep harping on it? They act like all conservatives watch Fox News and use it as an insult. It is pretty funny considering that the insult is lifted straight from talking points from HuffPo, Kos, etc. Dumbass libs can't think for themselves and don't see the irony in parrotting recycled and widely distruibuted insults against the right.

PS Im not a liberal

I'd be a republican if they stopped being idiot rednecks conspiracy theorists. Unfortunately they have become a characture of what used to be a great party which stood for something and now insist that all of our problems are at the hands of hard working hispanics and a fraudulent president born in Kenya

The GOP is turning into a bunch of buffoons, and Obama's platform so far has been one of moderate centrism. I have no idea if he will change that in the future, but the rhetoric about him being some sort of gun grabbing socialist is just not proven by the numbers and thats all I care about.

2% spending growth is the slowest in decades, much better than Reagan, Bush Senior, and Bush Junior. He has not come after a single gun law, in fact he has allowed states more power than any other president in the modern era and continues to remove federal control on rights of the states including the recent Welfare modification for waivers that are granted to states that can improve welfare demands by 20%.

Give us true conservatives who are educated and think rationally a good candidate and more of the younger people like me will return. The teaparty will be the end of our great country if we continue to allow ignorance and shouting down others to be the way that politics is run.

Yes, Mitt Romney, is an idiot redneck conspiracy theorist. Wait, I thought he was an elitist out of touch multimillionaire. Which is it?

Yes, the health care tax is "moderate centrism." Well, not really. The Democrats are a bunch of buffoons and have been since 2004.

Where do spending bills originate.

Yes, Occupy is the answer.

The liberals on this board do tend to froth at the slighest provocation (or too often than not, at no provocation at all). The anger they display invalidates whatever point they were making. Pity them.

Unemployment in Mississippi is 8.7, unemployment in South Carolina is 9.1%, Alabama is 7.4%. Democrat states like California is 10.8%, Rhode Island is 11.0%, and New York is 9.6%.

Both Slate and Newsweek are left leaning publication that Henry Blodget frequently contributes to. In 2008, Obama won in a Slates' reveal vote in a landslide- 55 out of 57 votes. Wonder where Henry's vote fell? Just something to remember when reading anything he opines.

Sure you can since it's only up 60% from the absolute bottom after the crash and it's still down from what it was prior to. lol

A high stockmarket combined with high unemployment means one thing: The rich are getting richer under Obama. The markets are up precisely because companies have cut their bottom lines by cutting their payrolls and/or moving production overseas. So while the investor class has profited under Obama, the average worker has not scene the same return on his investments.

To the contrary, these companies are profiting because they are holding their money rather than spending it on expanding business and hiring new employees. Businesses aren't taking the same "risks" as they normally would because of the fear of what may happen next, thus the company's bottom lines are fat.

There's also the little fact that since the bust, this wealth is concentrated in even fewer hands since many average Americans lost money and now refuse or can't afford to invest in the stockmarket. In other words, these high numbers simply mean the rich have gotten richer, while the rest of us have gotten poorer under Obama.

Regardless of who or what Blodgett might be, the economics of Romney sucked in 1812, in 1912, and in 2012. There is every reason to believe that they will always suck and that the people who fall for that sort of fanciful swill are simply a bunch of uneducated humperdinks and heffalumps.

Yes, because Obamanomics has worked out so well for the middle class that sees wages stagnating and the poor who when they're not being shoveled into shit paying jobs are landing on the rolls of welfare. Seems like only Obama's $38,500 a dinner plate fundraiser 1%er's are doing well in the new Obama Economy. Well them and the Chinese.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. The point from which real wages began their decline was in 2000. Can you remember who was in charge after that? HINT: It was the same total asshole who told you that Iraq was full of WMD. Meanwhile, when Obama had a Democratic Congress to work with, quite a lot of progress got made, and I don't mean just PPACA. Thanks to ARRA on one side and TARP and a bunch of asset-swap facilities on the other, the catastrophic Great Bush Recession -- the worst economic decline since the the Great Depression -- was turned around in a matter of months, being followed by a slow but steady recovery that would have been far more robust had asswipe Republicans not caved to TEA Party morons in their midst and attempted to undercut recovery at every turn. What a bunch of freaking losers!

Yeah, remember 2000? Balanced budget. Low inflation. Low unemployment. People could afford college and had pensions and health benefits. Then the "Republican Revolution" struck. Being overrun by Mongol hordes would have been a better deal for most people...

All irrelevant turd. Obammy's had six years to fix this shit and he's only made it worse.

Go ahead blame Bush if that helps you sleep at night. Hell, why not Grover Cleveland and John Quincy Adams while we're digging up ancient history.

Even until his last day you turds will continue blaming Bush rather than owing up to your Boy's failure.

He has made it better, everyone knows that. Remember where we were when he took office.
It could be a lot better but repubs decided it didn't matter how much they hurt America they would do anything to try and bring down the big O.
