It's interesting because their only choices are:

1. Talk about how they will improve the economy. But that's tough because they have to in at least some way imply that Obama didn't do a good job in EIGHT years of office. There is no Bush escape hatch.

2. Acknowledge that Obama has done well and continue his progress, but that blatantly denies reality.

Interesting times for libskis

Are you trying to say the economy hasn't been going well, especially when compared to 2008 when he first took office? It seems like this thread might be void of facts in order to attack Democrats while giving Republicans a pass. That makes sense for someone creating a partisan thread.

Bernie talks about how big the problems in our country are for the average working class person... We have been with a Democrat for the past 8 years and Hillary will just be a 3rd term, if not worse. She owes millions to her corporate donors and she is as corrupt as can be as we found out thanks to Wikileaks. She supports trade deals that will continue to destroy the working class, she supports shutting down oil companies, mining companies that will continue to destroy the middle class, she supports an endless supply of illegal immigrants which will lower wages for the working class... There is nothing good to come from her or the DNC.

GDP numbers and fudged unemployment rate statistics don't help the middle class. I could see you now, on the floor of that Carrier plant in Indianapolis as they announced they were moving production to Mexican: "but but unemployment is at 5%."

By the way, do you live in Portland? Prepare thyself for a Republican governor.

Seems the only fudging going on here is what you consider to be your own facts that you can't prove.

Yes, I do live in Oregon, been here for much of my life, before that I grew up in Washington. I highly doubt the Republicans in this state have any chance of winning the governor race in Oregon this year....so if I were you, I would prepare yourself for disappointment.

KomKast Kate Brown is going down. Her only accomplishment is her poker face.

Sorry.


Didn't know that was how this was measured...




Reagan was AWESOME!


Forbes Welcome




Meanwhile, Obama is the first US President to have not a single year of 3% GDP growth.

The choice between Trump and Clinton amounts to me going to an insane asylum, finding the two craziest people in there; then going to the gun store owner and telling him to pick one to run the place.

I'm with the gun store owner. Neither.

If you say so, just be prepared for disappointment.

Huh.

Exactly what you told me once about Kitzhaber.

He won the election, but I wasn't the one disappointed in the long run.

We'll see what happens.
