In early July, I was concerned enough about the antics of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid that I coined the term “POR economy” to describe what they were creating with their anti-oil, high-tax agenda.

The tax-happy, Big Oil-punishing trio seemed to believe that a poor third-quarter economy would enhance their chances of winning the presidency and larger Congressional and Senate majorities. They appeared to be in a position to make it happen.

Three things have occurred since then to greatly reduce the chances that the economy will move into negative territory in the third quarter...

“Pelosi, Obama, Reid, and the Democratic Party are on the side of energy obstruction”

“energy obstructionist”, I like it. 9-p-Nan energy obstructionist.

The “energy obstructionists” are causing pain, not only at the pump but at the grocery store and throughout the rest of the economy.

In the last two quarters of 1992 the economy grew -- if I remember correctly -- by four to six percent. Not bad at all.

But the "It's the economy, stupid!" Party won.

It's not the economy, stu.. er, I mean, Mister. It's how the MSM report it. Every evening the TV "news" employees featured workers who had just been laid off.

The day after the election the MSM employees started reporting how the economy was growing. When asked why the turn-around the Clintonists said, the people feel confident now that Bill Clinton has been elected president.
