I will say this to that, there’s no guarantee that the economy will still be in a rut in 2012 and, if it is, the Republicans will have to share about 33.3% of the blame this time around. Personally, I’m hoping the fight doesn’t revolve around 2 more years of economic downturn. I can’t afford that fight. Unfortunately, I think the economy will still be tanked in 2012 and I am not happy to say it. 2 years is an eternity in politics too.
True there are no guarantees and 2 years is an eternity, but I will say this it is a damn good thing that the GOP did not take both houses and if the House can do the right things I think the anger will not be as intense for our side. Also remember this, Obamacare which is hugely unpopular will be thee central issue, among many other issues in 2012. I want to be wrong about the economy too, I graduated from college two years ago, I still don’t have a job, crushing loan payments and the stigma of living at home with my parents. I can take comfort in the fact that we will overcome this and we will prevail in two years, we need to make it happen.
