You and pocket hit the nail on the head!
And rants are all some on the Far Lunatic Right seem to be capable of doing. I say Far Lunatic Right because some on the Right have a different opinion on how to reach certain goals... but don't just rant against our duly elected President for the sake of ranting and make that ranting even worse with totally made up lies.
The Bush recession the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression is ending and hundreds of thousands less jobs were lost than would have been lost had the government not stepped in. Making it even worse on the American people than The Bush Recession was.
It's like this you can be a Herbert Hoover and let the country continue to sink creating Hoovervilles all over the country.
Or you can be a leader that cares about the American people and be an FDR and do something to help.
Thank God we got President Obama!!!
What is a Hooverville?
During the Great Depression in the United States, millions of homeless people settled in teeming communities of makeshift shacks known derisively as “Hoovervilles” after Republican President Herbert Clark Hoover, whom they blamed for their plight.
The first use of the term “Hooverville” in the print media in 1930, according to Dickson and Allen, may have been in an article referencing a shantytown in Chicago, Illinois, which called itself Hooverville. The New York Times published a 179-word article about this shantytown, titled “Chicago jobless colonize; Shanty town called ‘Hooverville’ has a ‘mayor’ on its ‘Easy Street."
The article reads, Hooverville, so-called by a colony of unemployed men, has sprung up in Chicago’s front yard at the foot of Randolph Street near Grant Park, like one of the mushroom mining towns of bonanza days of the Far West. A primitive form of government has been set up in this “shanty town” and Mike Donovan, a disabled former railroad brakeman and miner, is “Mayor” by common consent. It has its Prosperity Road, East Street and Hard Times Avenue, all crudely labeled. The shacks are built of discarded materials. The “Mayor’s” residence is at the corner of Prosperity Road and Easy Street, is made of brick, wood and sheet iron. “Building construction may be at a standstill elsewhere, but down here everything is booming,” said “Mayor” Donovan today. “Ours is a sort of communistic government. We pool our interests and when the commissary shows signs of depletion, we appoint a committee to see what leavings the hotels have.”
Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., noted that Hoover’s name became “a prefix charged with hate.” For example, newspapers the homeless used to cover themselves were “Hoover blankets,” farmers called jackrabbits “Hoover hogs,” empty pockets pulled inside out were “Hoover flags,” freight cars used for shelter were “Hoover Pullmans,” cardboard used to line a shoe with the sole worn through was called “Hoover leather,” and an automobile with horses tied to it because the owner could not afford gasoline was called a “Hoover wagon.”
