Can we hate Obama for actual reasons like not keeping his promisesmbeing way to safe and vauge, wasting money on that shit hole Libya and trying to justify it?
Fuck, this country saddens me starting with the asshole’s texting in class all the way to the idiots in power put the same idiots.
Yeah, I’m sure the host and the network thought she would just apologize and see the light. No way could they have thought she would discuss the paper she brought onto the set and had in her hands when the cameras started rolling. That was no better than Bill O’Reilly. The news is a complete joke. Every channel and newspaper.
He turned his Dad’s business from something small to something huge. His dad’s business was mostly centered around middle income family rentals.
Trump has never declared bankruptcy. His investments have declared chapter 11 before.
We can sit and argue on Trumps politics, (aka the guy is a dipshit) but his business smarts are top notch. He must have done something right to be valued at ~700 million.
i love how when rich people and businesses declare bankruptcy it’s business smarts… but when people declare on their underwater mortgage’s they are irresponsible…
oh, and Lawrence was way over the top in that Taitz interview… i know he thought something else would happen… but COME ON how could he be so stupid? OF COURSE she wasn’t going to admit that shit haha.
Two different things. Chapter 11 bankruptcy means that you are still responsible for the loans and your business is still able to get out of debt if you show a good business plan and renegotiate with the creditors. When an individual goes into debt or can not pay of their mortgage, they usually do not have a better follow up plan to come up with the money.
Trump inherited his business, and bankrupted it 4 times. He has more debt than he is worth. He is a terrible businessman, but a decent self-promoter (which isn’t difficult in a country of morons).
Trump also has good people working for him. Got to have lunch with George Ross (his right hand man, on the early seasons of the Apprentice.) If I got anything out of talking with him was network, and hire people better than you. That’s exactly what Trump did.
So you can say he isn’t very smart in life, but he is smart in business, because he hires people that makes him look better than he is.
Trump is not in debt. His ventures that went into bankrupt are. The guy used others money to climb out of debt. Is he a slime ball. Hell yes, but I am not going to say the guy is not worth anything.
yeah personal bankruptcy is not the same thing as your businesses going bankrupt. the main reason you form a corporation in the first place is that you protect your own assets if the business fails.
he inherited his father’s wealth, but expanded the businesses and created a good brand. sure some businesses may fail, but most entrepreneurs have failures every now and then. and lots of rich kids inherit their parents wealth but still wind up as failures. trump is a far better businessman than the US government, which is trillions of dollars in debt. so, i’d like to see what he does. what’s obvious to me is that he’s not going to do a worse job than obama, who hasn’t instituted any change whatsoever: keeping bernake, hiring geithner, one of the dbags responsible for this mess, bailing out all the banks, allowing our shares to be converted into common instead of preferred stock, bailing out AIG but not striking out their bonuses in the contract beforehand, bailing out shitty USA car companies that have been bailed out repeatedly in the past for their failures, etc etc. and that’s just on the financial side of things. gitmo is still running, patriot act is still going strong, etc…
You shouldn’t be. He was handed a nigh unfixable situation. Anybody who followed George W. was going to be boned regardless of party. If people just accepted the fact that the country was a clusterfuck going into the election and that the problems were bigger than what one president with a retarded congress could accomplish, we wouldn’t have so many disappointed people and be in a better place to fix things.
Actually most of them have a 90% fail rate, and then hit it big on one multi - billion /million dollar investment/company and everyone calls them a genius.
i’m judging him solely on his campaign promise of change. the republicans were reeling from their defeat. democrats in congress, democratic president. everyone was pissed off at bush for his incompetence. he public support, control of congress, and there is no reason at all why he could not CHANGE things up. but what happened?
gitmo - still open
patriot act - not repealed
still fighting wasteful wars? yup
bernake still shitting out money? yup
hiring a wallstreet douchebag timothy geithner? yup
bailing out undeserving car companies? yup
bailing out banks? yup
so the only CHANGE that we’ve gotten is that wallstreet has gotten RICHER while poor people have gotten POORER. nice!
at the end of the day, democrats and republicans are both in bed with corporations. its just that the republicans base their power off of stupid poor religious nutjobs, and the democrats base their power off of stupid poor union workers. at the end of the day, their only concern is making rich people richer.
False! The dems had control and could have easily gotten shit done but guess what, in the end, minus the social agendas, both parties are the same. Obama did not have to sign the bailouts, but of course, Bush was holding him at gun point. Its not just Wall Street, its everyone and everything.
Every president after Andrew Jackson has not given a shit about the national debt but only the interest of themselves and their friends. And everyone hated Jackson
