I can see republicans gaining some seats in congress, but the congress will remain in democrat hands for the foreseeable future. the white in 2012, is up for grabs.
From what I remember from my college courses in economics, it takes 1 to 3 years before governmental policies (either driven by the Preseident or by Congress) affect the economy, so to lay the current job situation on his door is wrong. Regardless of your political affiliation, the current job situation as well the recent rebounding of the DOW are the results of the previous presidency.
That's problem with extremist, both left and right, they can only awknowledge the bad a leader does and never the good. Reality is always somewhere in the middle.
Well said! Excecpt the DOW rebounding being attributable to the previous Presidency. The DOW is generally considered to be a leading indicator of the health prospects of the member companies.
Yoopercat cannot imagine how many jobs can be created by bringing adequate health care to all the people in this country. Health care, not insurance, will be the major growth industry in the next three decades.
The idea that health care reform will be the engine for job growth is one of the main selling points of Obamacare. Has that actually worked in the few states that have adopted healthcare reform on their own? Mass, Tennessee, Maine, Vermont? Any idea of the ratio of jobs created due to reform vs. cost of reform?

I thought someone may have come with more info than I've found (ballooning reform costs far beyond anticipated, bankrupt "govt option", no evidence of job growth). Guess not.
