This article goes on to show how liberal policies especially government job and bankrupting pensions have destroyed california and illonois.
I am curious as to why no one looks at Obama's past economic experience while leading his state and can't draw parallels to his failure to economically lead this country. Further more the policies enacted in Illinois while he was there are now failing! What makes you think his current policies enacted for the entire country will NOT fail as well?

I know! Illonois is in terrible shape!!1! |
Um, he didn't lead Illinois, he represented it. |
*Illinois, sorry about the spelling, America's Economic failure is right in your face and you are too focused crossing your t's and dotting your i's. |
Obama was a Senator, not the governor of Illinois. He didn't have anything to do with the state's economic development.
You may be thinking of the other presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. He was the governor of Massachusetts, the 47th leading state in job creation. Although Romney did pass a terrific health care plan. |
so you are saying their senate doesn't pass laws that affect the state budget or economy? http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/05/02/475547/illinois-minimum-wage-increase/?mobile=nc http://www.kirk.senate.gov/?p=issue&id=3 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/barack_obama/400629 |
Wow, shouldn't Republicans understand that state budgets and programs are controlled at the state level? Not the federal level?
Amazing how on one hand, conservatives point to Obama's inexperience, but on the other, they accuse HIM of ruinning Illinois' economy? Ahhh...the irony... |
If you want to blame someone for Illinois' issues (and I understand you don't...you want to blame OBAMA), perhaps you should consider Governors Blagojevich or Ryan, who are both in jail now. |
I find it hilarious that the OP and this poster both spelled Illinois wrong and the second poster posted one minute after the first. Sock puppet, anyone? |
Yes it was the conservatives in both states that under cut the government by cutting taxes. Now they want to do the same to the whole country. |
Clearly Tge Republican convention has put the wingnuts in a state of total panic. How did they end up with a non Christian abortion waffler who invented Obamacare ???? From MASSACHUSETTS ???!!!! What happened to the other Real Republicans? Please let me wake up and it's all a dream, the Santorum/Perry ticket is ahead 10 pts and Herm Cain is boning up the names of countries so he can be Secretary of State. |
Ok so maybe the senator from Illinois who voted " present" most of the time didnt hsve control over the budget in IL but please explain the economy that he is responsible for now. |
But OP is a genius! He scored 100% reading comprehension on his PSATs! OK he doesn't understand the difference between a governor or a senator, and he doesn't know how to spell Illinois, AND he's a sock puppet but... show some respect. OP: Why do you keep posting? Do you really think you are going to change anybody's mind? |
Agree OP. These posters who still salivate at the mere mention of Obama are straight up drunk on ideology. |
Make up your mind - are you complaining about Illinois or the US economy? |
