U.S. CongressmanPATRICK McHENRY

And what have the Republicans who have been in charge of the House done to create jobs. Not much either, just trying to make laws about who I can marry or what I can do, which only makes jobs for law inforcement, but then you cut jobs for cops also so it only means they have to work harder putting people in jail who should not be there.

I have yet to see how our nation can recover from the previous administration's cutting taxes for the wealthy, engaging in two endless wars, etc, etc, and then make a boundless recovery in President Obama's short time in office. And by the way, where are all the jobs, etc, etc that were promised by the Republican campaigns in 2010? All I see is the cutting of ESSENTIALS for a struggling middle class and the rich getting richer. Where are all the job promises from cutting taxes the past eight years and even the extension of tax cuts submitted by President Obama?!!!!!

Typical Republican distortion of facts. Obama might get something done if the Republicans quit blocking his every effort. Obama may not be the best potus we have had, but he is not the failure that the Republicans would like us to believe he is. Deregulation and tax breaks by the Republicans is a major contributor to our devastated economy. Wake up America, before the republicans destroy our economy.

I celebrated with a home loan modification that helped me refinance to less than half of my original mortgage payment (after my husband of 25 years died in December 2009, I couldn't afford my payments). I celebrated with a new job as Property Manager of Ashley Meadows apartments in Columbus, NC. The community is a tax-credit based complex that helps widows with babies, disabled people, and elderly have a safe home in which to live. I was unemployed for over a year ad a half. I celebrated!!!

I don't think it really bothers president obama that unemployment rates are climbing, I think thats what he wants. I think that the imposter in the whitehouse is a socialist marxist who wants to ruin the middle class and make this a country of dependants. People depending on the government for food stamps, wellfare, jobs, health care, media, and every other aspect of life. I believe it was one of the founding fathers who said " a government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take it all away ".

my fathers back to work, with overtime.. my wife is working overtime. i need to hire more help... local building centers are packed and busy, my friend's construction business is very busy working for other business.... we have spent last two summers trying to find time off... my cousin is back to work doing cement. all my nieses and nephes are back to work now too

Spent the occasion wondering if my husband is going to lose his job. Stimulus - right! His job is going to China with the rest of the jobs. When will this stop? Until our government shuts the door on excessive imports, we are doomed.

Patrick, here you go again. Dude, stop. You just look silly. Untenable positions like this make you look weak. Sure, the economy is in the toilet. You Republicans and your weak Democratic cohorts have driven the bus over the ditch and you're still nyah-nyah-ing the latest driver. You and your party are as much to blame, if not MORE SO, than the President. Don't insult the intelligence of the American people. You seem to think we don't pay attention or that we don't keep our own score cards. Baloney. Like your crude insults to Ms. Warren, the Republican tactic of insulting, demeaning and putting down folks of differing opinion is a blunt affront to American sensibilities. Knock it off, sir. You're an embarrassment.

Who's to say the economy wouldn't have been even worse if Obama and the government had not passed the stimulus act. The bailout of the American Car companies was a good thing, the money has been paid back and it saved thousands of jobs. I know many of people who have good jobs and many others who have gotten jobs in the recent year. I don't appreciate your negativity and always finding fault with President Obama and our government. The economy was left in such bad shape from a former Republican president, as I recall. We need to move forward and stop allowing this country to be manipulated by big banks, morgage companies, and large corporations such as health care industries, oil companies and drug companies. It's time we had some social change to protect and provide for ordinary citizens and not the big companies who already benefit from tax loopholes, tax incentives and government lobbbyists. Things will only improve when we all work together and be a part of the solution, instead of the finger pointing and negativity.

A House and Senate controlled by the Democrat(ic) party with a Democrat(ic) President for two years and NO Budget, of course you stupid republicans caused it. Instead of taxing the weathy into the poor house why not take everything the poor have and sell it off. I'm tired of hearing how bad we are as conservatives. The people that don't have anything can't be conservators. Let them eat cake. Cakes of lye soap. It is far past time for the conservatives by whatever label they have to stand up and say to those that want a free lunch, " you pay for the next one or you don't eat today" . I.m out of a job currently so I spent my time increasing the value of those things and properties that I own. The thing that most distresses me is that You Congressman McHenry have not sufficient backbone to be heard in the chambers of Congress, as your fellow congressman form S.C. calling the liars liars, especiallly like those previously responding..

I only see one comment in your favor Rep. McHenry and his comment was 99 % racist You as a party have done everything to keep the country in the recession. You have provided 0 that's ZERO jobs 0 that's ZERO help to the Middle class not to mention the poor. The only thing you want to do is to kill the old people, sick people ,and babies after they are born. But make sure they are born. Sir learn some manners and compassion for those better than you--99 % of most of the country. I do not name call nor do I threaten BUT I do remember.

I think Obama is doing a magnificent job. At least he DID NOT start an unnecessary war in Iraq. The greatest military blunder in our history. He came into office with an absolute mess. He did save the car industry which has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. The debt ?? I am outraged the republicans will NOT even consider raising taxes on the upper 2% of the population. Obama did head off the 2nd great depression...

I spent it working on my thesis for Denture Repair. Love it! http://edenturerepair.com
