I agree also, but do feel sorry for my friends who did vote for him. At that time they honestly believed in him and his promise of Hope n' Change, now some of them without job, and a home.

I keep on saying it, someone with good business sense definitely would not hurt.

That certainly was not John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008.

And maybe your friends would have jobs had the Republicans not spent decades giving tax breaks (ie corporate welfare) and 'attaboys' to American corporations who outsourced America to the brink. And now its ALL President Obama's fault? The Right is delusional and their hands are very "dirty" in the willingness to ship American jobs overseas for short-term profits.

Ricardo's Theory of Comparative Advantage is probably the most universally accepted theory in economics and explains why Republicans and Democrats alike have pushed free trade agreements.
