I’d love to know how this guarantees his re-election. The economy is an absolute hell hole and won’t change by 2012. It’s getting worse. If the President and Dems could put that on the GOP with this thing, it would kill the GOP.
Instead, this thing gets done (it’s not idea, it never is with politics) and Obama and the Dems own the economy completely. They have to run with that millstone.
Do you believe by passing this that suddenly the economy turns around and rosy days are ahead? Please.
No, the economy won’t turn around. But look at the polls. It shows 40% still love this guy? And I believe another 10%, at least, will vote for him when the time comes.
obama looked bad on this deal. It would have been nice if he would be looking bad in oct 2012.
