Were you not around during Bush's final years? You don't sound like you were but I don't know since I came here after the Coronation.

I don't think he is likely to resign but who knows what the string pullers may have decided since they tore into him before his vacation when it seemed possible.

Not even with the really black man who opened up with his ideas for tax changes? I am not sure that Obama could win against Cain.

Do you feel this could actually happen and would there be an immediate burst of positive economic activity as a result?
Oh please.

I want no part of Obama's social agenda, but this economic mess is not his.

This isn't just another recession. In the absence of a bold new leader that will stand up to Big Business and bring all things related to this "globalization" race to the bottom BS to a screeching halt, this is a death watch.
Did you hear the only real businessman in the bunch talk last night on Greta? If not you can hear him talk about his tax program he is calling 9, 9. 9. I think that Herman may convince businessmen that he will allow them to expand and create all the jobs that the present administration has kept from coming into existence. Surely he could win a number of the black votes since he is blacker than Obama.

If you haven't heard what I speak of there is a fairly new thread started by Miborn that has a video of it. I would think that by now YouTube would have it, also. Greta van Susteren's show is where he talked.

I agree Clinton would be an exciting, viable candidate. And the Cons would HATE this because once again the Democrats would be playing the "historic first" card. First black president and now first woman president -- back to back! The Cons may hate this so much that they nominate Bachmann LOLOLOL! Now that would be fun to watch.

Paul won't win the Republican nomination and will have to be the third party candidate to have a chance. Mark my words.

That's money in the bank, even though I think Ron is great.

Unless things drastically change I say Romney easily beats Obama and puts up a good fight against Hillary. The left knows this and some segments are trying to out Obama as fast as possible. Of course to save face they want it to be on his make believe terms.
Maybe you need to read Rasmussen Reports for today. They have Perry ahead of Obama and all the others a bit behind. I don't want Perry but I sure don't want Romney.
