Which will be the basis of repealing the term limit for President. Mark my words.

Oh don;t worry...on the stump for 2016, it sill still be ' Bush's Recession', and the idiot electorate that are polled after they vote will come in 20-25% that it is still 'Bush's Fault'.

You can't fix stupid.

I am really hoping that this whole thing does come crumbling down. The 'poor' in this country don't know the meaning of the word. I spent almost a year in a real third world country, and poor means sleeping on the ground, and barely scraping by.

In this country, 'poor' is being able to only buy 1 TV.

I hope that the day comes..

I hope to God the economy burns now. It will serve America right for re-electing this fraud.

The courage for that is gone as well I am afraid. I think Texans will huncker down, go Galt or Galt-lite, and wait the collapse out. Most of us are still able to be self sufficient.

Right on cue, the EU releases a report predicting “sluggish growth for the foreseeable future”. Hence Obama is off the hook. No post-election slump to see here, move along.

Yes, the House will go Democrat in 2014 because it is not doing enough to help Obama.
