Hissy, you ignorant fool - anyone who has taken more than a high school economics class could have predicted that 0bama was going to continue the world economy. What we did in the last election was the equivalent of switching from an experienced pilot in the middle of a flat spiral, to one of the passengers who has flown on a plane, but never handled the controls.
Dick Morris was right - the Presidency wasn't worth winning this cycle. The good news is that maybe this economy, and Zero's flailing response to it, will finally destroy the myth of Democrat competence in economic matters, and the myth that New Deal policies work. It's going to be a terrible price to pay. In the long run, we can only hope it's worth it.
The only hope I see here is that Øbama is gathering all the most vile rats into one place.
Then we can vote them out en mass.
It's a double edged sword and we lose either way. The economy will eventually rebound. It will take longer now based on how we are governing this mess. But it will. Guess who will get credit when it does finally start to rebound and is going strong again in about 4 years? On the other hand, if things continue they way they have been going, I'll be using my degree as a sales guy at Home Depot while living in a paid for SUV with a family of 4.
I am not sure what to hope for. If I hope for the economy to turn around, we get 8 years of this guy and my family is secure now but my kids have it worse. If I hope for it to be bad enough for our short term memories to impact the next election, my kids may be better off but I won't be able to send them to private school or college.
The GOP needs a good economy to thrive. Dims, on the other hand, can survive and thrive because of a disasterous economy. Dims (lefties) will intentionally destroy an economy just to gain more government control over it. Totalitarians all over the world keep their people starving in order to stay in power.
The Kenyan should just come out of the closet now.
Slap the Sandinista Beret on. Let the soul patch grow out.
And start letting all the cabinet members start wearing camo jump suits.
In the long run, we seem to repeat these cycles. Obama gets thrown out and new polices turn the country around. We have "morning in America" once again. Thirty years later, half the population never recalls the bad times and certainly has no understanding of it. They demand more and politicians are always willing to give it to them. The cycle starts again.
I doubt it will destroy the myth of Democrats being the better on the economy. If that were possible it would have been destroyed under Jimmy Carter. I know a lot of brain dead people who actually think he was good on the economy.
Money, especially personal money, is thicker than ideology.
Matthews has NO INTENTION of giving up anything to the unwashed, it was supposed to be “THOSE PEOPLE” who were hurt.
