That’s only going to happen post-Obama. The next POTUS is going to be our greatest simply by returning the tax and regulatory regime back to the unacceptable levels they were at under GW Bush.

It will be the most important election since Reagan and we need a Gov/Gov ticket. I like Perry/Walker. They’re not perfect, but no candidate is and, Perot back then and Herman Cain recently, political naïfs are just pure trouble. You have to understand how government works and how the executive and legislative interact along with the political risks of judicial decisions. Too many TEA Partiers are not ready for prime time.

Perry’s not responsible for Texas’ success, but he’s a product of a political machine that supports that kind of pro-commerce attitude. He’s from the most dynamic, fastest growing state in the union.

Walker’s a brilliant blue state politician. Wisconsin is a blue state and the fact that he won there and keeps on winning despite that says a lot. He’s extremely savvy and astute. He understands how government works and picks his battles with the keen eye of a master strategist. He’s a Sun Tzu of political acumen.

They’d make a great team and Walker would be able to do what Bush I didn’t, win two terms. We need 16 straight years of GOP control to clear out Obama’s mess - judges, executive appointments, etc.

Opinions?

Happy Friday Everyone!! 

We got super buying opportunities in stocks yesterday and our futures pals are telling us to expect even lower prices today. Interesting note in stocks is that market leaders did well and IBD still has the situation rated "market under pressure" where the yellow light means 'proceed w/ caution'.   Another point is that distribution days are only at 6 for the NASDAQ and 5 for the S&P500.   Fine.  Still, yesterday's volume went ballistic and all indexes are on or though their 50day moving averages.  Metals were up a tad yesterday but futures are pegging them lower today also --along w/ most everything.  

But wait, there's more; today's reports:

Nonfarm Payrolls
Nonfarm Private Payrolls
Unemployment Rate
Hourly Earnings
Average Workweek
Personal Income
Personal Spending
PCE Prices - Core
Michigan Sentiment - Final
ISM Index
Construction Spending
Auto Sales
Truck Sales

Too much news today --everyone's invited to click Google Market Summary,  Townhall Finance, Yahoo Finance, and Real Clear Markets while go hide under my bed.

The hope is that in another half dozen years it'll climb to expansion levels.

only going to happen post-Obama.

Or more precisely, post-Obama-voter; then again, much would have been different if everyone that voted for McCain had voted for Romney.  Personally I'm a bit at a loss to figure out what could turn folks around because the results of these decisions take so long to feedback into active consequences, and the immature personality is always ready to blame others for failure.  What confuses things more is that so many of us are struggling to build things back up while the left tears it down. 

The good news is that if we made it through the New Deal then we can survive this.

While there is still a lot of work to be done in Wisconsin, if Walker grooms another no-lose Republican to fill his void, y’all can have him.

I don’t know a whole lot about Governor Perry - some here aren’t crazy about him, but I like your line of thought...

Love My Gov! :)
