That's not exactly cutting-edge causation, there. Do you think Home Depot might be having a little more trouble because new construction is down? Or because people tend to skip on home repairs when money is tight?

From your article:

Blake said in the memo there were no plans to close any full-size Home Depot stores.

The cuts are less than 1 percent of Home Depot's more than 300,000 workers.

It is all about Obama and his policies.

Everything is going down the tubes because of his policies.

I feel this is all being done on purpose to push our nation to the brink of financial collapse so he and his radicals can take over and control this country from within.

Read the book, the Enemy from Within and you will see that Obama fits it to the t.

Instead of things getting better under Obama they are getting worse, much worse and he is stealing our tax dollars with the lie that the stimulus would save and create millions of new jobs etc.

No one can say the economy is not getting worse under obama when everything is clearly showing he is failing us.

I believe this is on purpose and for a reason.

He is the enemy from within trying to destroy our financial markets to gain control.

Home Depot, based in Atlanta, and other home-improvement retailers have faced sales declines from the long-standing construction slowdown and consumers holding back on do-it-yourself projects amid worry over jobs and home values. Although the U.S. housing market is stabilizing after a nearly three-year decline, home prices remain far below their peak.
******************

Take it however you like, but if you're going to blame Obama for jobs lost at a place that sells housing stuff, when the housing market has just went through a big, huge bubble.....

I wouldn't link an aricle that says the market is stabilizing after a three year decline. Because um, stabilizing? Obama in office? Stabilizing? See the correlation? It would mean that his socialistic policies are WORKING and that you SUPPORT HIM by linking this article that says things are STABILIZING under his leadership.

And I don't think that was what you wanted to do. Or maybe you did it as a joke or something. Some kind of reverse sarcasm, perhaps. Anyways, it was pretty funny.

Thanks for the laugh!
