    Any one who calls android 'Market fragmentation' is pretty damn clueless.

    It's an OS for Many competing platforms. If it was all ONE platform by ONE company and they had different OSs, then you have actual market fragmentation.

    Stop comparing Android to iOS. Its hows you're complete ignorance of the market.

    compare specific devices to Apple device if you must.

    " Android will become a real OS. "
    Are you 3 bits short of a byte? Of course it's a real OS. What it is not is a complete walled garden.

    "(both parties are to blame for this)"
    no.

    The pubs had a veto proof vote. Clinton managed to get them to include middle class people and not just the rich.
    The fact that he did that is pretty good.

    stimulus spending works. Austerity has never gotten any country out of a situation like this. Never, ever.

    Stimulus is about de-leveraging debt through works. And de-leveraging doesn't need to equate to a 1 to 1 debt trade off.
    Add to the stimulus creates long term tax revenues, and helps with the infrastructure.

    So if we had people in the US plotting to do harm to Afghanistan, you would be perfectly fine with Afghanistan attacking the us and bombing you neighborhood?

    Plus it's a cheesy as pussy war. If you are going to declare war on a country, declare war on that country. Then go it and deal with it quickly.

    "There has been no significant policy difference between Obama and Bush"
    Clearly you aren't paying attention.
    Maybe it'
    s the fact the the pubs lie and do what ever they can to stop anything from being passed solesly because they don't like Obama. We are talking about a party they drafted a bill, backed that biklll, then then stopped backing it when Obama said he would sign it.

    THAT is what is going on. Obama has tried to get several policy changes through, al of which get stopped simply because Obama likes them.

    Can you even begin to grasp that mind set and how damaging it is?

    " It was 100% caused by overspending by BOTH parties"
    No. It was the War, and massive tax cuts. It's pretty clear.

    Most people who talk about government and use the word 'overspending' are either incredibly ignorant, or intentional misleading people. I bet you have no idea about de-leveraging, government v. Consumer debt, or any macro economic concept.

    Ignorant twat.

    Since things have improved steadily since he took office, and what he wanted to do was severally castrated. Why is Obama at fault at all? Because he didn't snap his fingers and make it all better over night?
    It takes a few minutes to burn down a house, a lot longer to build one.

    I get why Romney would bring up the economy, I don't get why he doesn't get slapped up side the head every time he says it's because of Obama. Seriously, it's not like it a hard to find fact.

    Bush was specifically told what was going to happen if he didn't curtail (at the time) banking trends. He ignored it, and when economists got loud he gave them all 300 bucks.

    regardless of who changed the regulation to loosen things up, Bush and his administration where well aware of it and ignored it until the end of 07.
    At which point he created TARP. Something the pubs where for..all the way up until Obama got elected. Then they opposed it. by 2010 they where proposing everything simply to oppose it.

    Yes, in fact it IS backed up by facts. They did nothing when they new about it, did things to distract people from it, and then have done everything they can to prevent Obama from implementing a better correction. And Yet, the changes he did get through congress did help.

    Republicans have caused these events to unfold. It's a matter of record, one I suggest you read up on before spouting off on 'FACTS'.

    You can't seem to grasp that consequences happen after actions.
