After Obama is out, libs will have had eight years of control. Eight years of president, eight years of senate control (we will see in 2014), and two years of congressional control. Few, if any presidents, have had such a political landscape in which they could implement thier policy.
So.................... after eight years of
lower incomes
more unemployment
lower savings
more in poverty
more on foodstamps
more homeless
more part time workers
...........................what next? More of the same policy of the previous eight years? If not, what "new" ideas will liberals have to reverse the above trend? Do you contend it will take sixteen years? Fifty years? Why did it take Reagan only three years?
Why don't you come back when 8 years have actually passed and ask this question? We still have over 3 to go on Obama's second term.
We are in the middle of a Gordeon knot of big problems right now, with 4 or 5 major problems simultaneously that we're all trying to deal with. Many are intertwined with others. In 3 years, some with have been resolved, such as our military departure from Afghanistan, and others will have come to a resolution, like Obamacare.
Given the speed and depth of rapid change we have all witnessed for the past 15 years, many of the things on your list, hawkeye, may be ancient history by 2016. The one thing that is very apparent is how quickly major things arise and fall now, and that's only going to continue and become even faster with every technology advance.
But some will most likely linger on, and there will always be new crises arising. Some will be momentary, but for sure, some will be longer lasting. Trying to predict right now what the outcomes will be is sort of nonsensical, I think, and is pretty much just jumping the gun.
Maybe math isn't your strong suit. Obama has in fact been in office 4 years 8 months. Unless you are claiming magical powers to tell what's going to happen with the economy in the next 3 years...in which case you ought to make a killing in the market.
Well that first almost 62% isn't working out well thus far.
A Democrat controlled House is obviously much easier to work with and more willing to work with compromise than far right wing Republicans who think compromise means getting everything they want and nothing the other party wants.
Which is exactly what Reid , Pelosi, & company have been doing with their mindset and actions.
I recall living in the back of my pickup truck during a Reagan regime tenure, wasn't he the best economist America ever had or what!!?? Yeah, I was cold, wet, and miserable enough to want to have choked Reagan, but I chalked it up to experience.
Oh, psssst, libs don't control, the House has a R majority.
"Reagan caused me to live in my pickup"?
I'm sure you yourself had nothing to do with that.
I'm no Obama fan, but even I laughed at that one. The GOP truthfully should hope Hillary is healthy enough to get reelected in 2020, as there is a true very liberal contender behind her who would also win.NY's governor Cuomo.
Only Christie can possibly avoid him being sworn in.
He'd destroy all the other contenders except HC. And the Dems will own the WH for decades to come until the GOP grows up and embraces a demographically changed America that occured while they pretended Ozzie & Harriet was still an active tv show.
Ah, ok. So Democrats in the House during Reagan's presidency were willing to compromise with the Republican Senate, but Democrats in the Senate are not willing to compromise with House Republicans during Obama's Presidency ?
You guys wont be able to figure out how to tie a knot after all your prescription meds. Plus how do you manage to swing it over a tree with the Medicare paid mobility scooters. That Golden Corral Buffet parking lot will be crowded though.
You guys are cracking me up!
I'll be Medicare-eligible in exactly 9 days but I'll call it like it is: Score: Mac_Muz 0, borregokid 1.
Re the OP's title question: "Okay libs- you will have had 8 years. Now what?", I can only reply ~I dunno, check back after we've had 8 liberal years. So far we've had only 5 moderate/mixed years~
