So, you go find those 0bama quotes, and I'll wait.
Of course Obama is going to pick someone {Yellen} that will keep the party going, after all he has a legacy to protect and all he has is the stock market is doing great. Barnanke will get out and take no blame but Obama I am not sure if they can continue to QE until 2017?

You know when a person has essentially lost a debate when they use hyperbole like....150 years ago.....as if white society cleaned up their racist act 150 years prior. Even though slavery was the origin of black oppression in this nation.....it certainly was not THE END of black oppression when it ended. That having been said, there are people alive in America today who lived with people who had been enslaved in this country. I know.....because my father and his living sibling are some of them.

Harmed.

The economy is improving despite Obama's policies, not because of them. It's like FDR and the Great Depression. FDR actually made the depression worse. But since he was still in office when it eased up, he got credit for fixing it. The Depression could have lasted 5 years but instead it lasted 10, but since FDR was still there after 12 years, he took credit for the recovery. This is what Obama is doing. He's taking credit for things getting better, but they're actually getting better more slowly than they would have without his meddling.

Default Do you believe that the Economy is improving?

If you're comparing where we are now to 5 years ago, then the economy is in much better shape than it was then.

If you're using last year as your starting point, then not much progress has been made.

is slavery did not end in 1865? I am shocked!

Every society is racist, bigoted ect, its not just whites and to single out one group is racist..

What of the Africans who sold their follow Africans into slavery? are they not to blame?

What of the civil rights act of 1964?

What is soo bad about America in the year 2013? quit whining and get over it, maybe if Black America got off the poverty plantation of the Democratic party things would get better...you cant blame us for everything wrong...we are not to blame..

See what happens.

When the printing DOES finally stop, O will forever be known as the affirmative action president with an affirmative action economy.
That's a really unfair statement. The decline accelerated with the Bush administration. The economy is being propped up with the QE policy of the Federal Reserve. We would be in decline regardless of who occupies the White House. I would like to see higher interest rates too. I'm sick of hyper-inflated home prices, food prices, gasoline prices, etc
