I agree, who cares. I don't even know what 'mom' jeans are, nor do I care. I don't care what he wears, what color he is, or even what party he belongs to. We have big problems, like how much he is spending for nothing and how are we going to pay for it. Now he is pushing this insane heath bill. Our health system isn't broken, it's just expensive. In fact, it's the best system in the world by far. We need government oversight, not socialized medicine. You want to talk about a health care crisis? Wait until your kid needs an operation and you're told you have to wait a year or two......now that's a crisis. We need limits on mal-practice. A doc can spend over $100,000 a year on insurance and defensive medicine cost us over $100 billion a year. You want better cost? OK, lower my taxes (I pay 51% fed. + state), rid me of mal-practice insurance, and let me use my professional judgement rather than having to practice defensively. I could then cut my fees in half.

(Reply to Dr. Gunther)
Yeah, I keep hearing this: "Our health care system is not broken!" "It's just expensive" = most people cannot afford it = it is broken. Right? Or am I missing something here? "What if your child needs an operation and you have to wait 2 years?" Yes, that is bad. However, what if your child needs an operation and you can NEVER afford it and/or you will lose your home and become homeless attempting to pay for it?? I am a hard-working independent contractor and one of the millions of Americans who cannot qualify for and/or afford health insurance. Fortunately I avoid mainstream medicine like the plague and hope I will never need it. Dr. Gunther raises some good points about the existing system and no, I do NOT agree with Obama's plan, but obviously something needs to be done... And the jeans are fine, I'm glad he did not spend money on new jeans.

I agree. While I dislike President Obama for what he's doing as president, his choice of jeans is the LEAST of our concerns. In fact, I don't even think they look that bad, anyway.

obama throws the baseball like a girle-man!!!!!!

yeah no kidding!

The jeans are great! Jeans are jeans. Big deal...NOT!!!!

Jess, I wanna take care of you and your 2 kids, please respond. klaw

give it a rest already

Seems like the whole Bush economy was built on a "Bush" of lies. That is why the whole country's economy is in the crapper. It was all smoke and mirrors and is now crashing around us. It took years to get here and it's going to be years before we get out of this one. Please don't tell me that you think Obama did this in 5-6 months.

Hate to tell all you Obama haters, the country was in this shape when he took office. Ex-President Bush and his "boys" knew what they were doing before they left office.

Obama is doing a wonderful job, considering what mess he walked into.

(What's fun about Finance is that numbers don't lie...but you are parroting Rush Limbaugh nicely....heaven knows he never lies...now for the facts).

1. 48 straight months of job growth. (This is based solely on "created jobs" -- not net jobs - less than 20 of those 48 months resulted in net job growth, which is all that matters. I'll give you $20 and you give me $40 and you can go brag about your 20 new bucks).

2. The lowest unemployment rate in decades. (Only if you use new jobless claims. If you look at all those seeking employment combined with their average incomes, the middle class lost big time. It shrunk by almost 20% during the Bush years if you missed it).

3. Six million new jobs created, despite the Democrats lie of “a jobless recovery.” (Hey - you made my point. Six million new jobs created and over 10 million outsourced to other countries...um, that's over 4 million in the hole...that's part of why the middle class is jacked)

4. The stock market gained almost seven thousand points after 9/11. And although it has dropped to eleven thousand and change, it’s still four thousand points higher after 9/11. (Um, again, numbers don't lie -- go chart the Dow on any financial site - it went down from about 11,000 to about 8,000 after 9/11. If you want to have some real fun, compare the Dow when Bush left office on Jan 20 to the crash after 9/11 - almost the same...good job George).

5. Dow Jones Industrial Average crossing 14,000 A RECORD. The market had bottomed out after the Clinton (Democrat) inspired dot-com bust less than five years before. A RECORD (That 14,000 is history, but let's give you that argument. Bush inherited a Dow of 11,000 and grew it 27% when it hit 14,000. Clinton grew the Dow by over 300%. Even if you measure to the "bottom-out" you suggested of 8,000, it still went up over 200% since Clinton took office...I want 200% on my money, you can have 27%...3.4% per year over five years. Hey that barely beats inflation. Yeah, George rocked...you are right. Oh wait, it was back to almost 8,000 when he left office, so we can't even give him that pathetic statistic).

All due to George Bush’s tax cuts which the Democrats opposed!! (Bush's tax cuts did help cause this fiasco - you are right. The rich again got richer - just like the 80's - and the middle class shrunk - just like the 80's. Numbers don't lie).

I am so glad Bush is out of office. Remember, we invaded a country without proven cause under him. Now there are a million Iraqis without homes and 500k orphans...thanks to Bush. He also approved the invasion of our privacy and Cheney ripped off the country under the company "HALIBURTON." By the way, is anyone checking into thousands of jobs being outsourced while we have the highest unemployment rate in years???? Can we not even answer phones for a living in the US? Have you ever gotten India when you called for tech help with your net service? How I wish someone would address this problem...it will be the ruin of our country!!!! Bring our jobs back!
