OK. No left or right.

Does saying Merry Christmas bother you ?

Either you didn't read Trump's quote, or you are just being adversarial. Merry Christmas does not bother me (I'm Jewish), but if a boss said at an office xmas party "Merry Christmas to all, and I have done an awesome job building this company so we can have parties like this" would. But if you enjoy that, good for you.

Now, he didn't get much help from Congress, but the American people put their best feet forward. It's really a people effort and not really a government effort. And it's been refreshing.

I give Trump credit. Look, someone had to stand up when no one else did. No politician would ever pull this off, and, so, it's taken an everyday businessman. The economy's going to continue to blossom and burgeon whether anyone likes Trump or not.
The pace of job creation is just about the same as pre-Trump. So if you describe this pace of job growth as "many, many people are finally going back to work" you should acknowledge that many, many people have been returning to work for about 5 years now.

the Obamakins never realized Bush led us out of the recession, not Obama. Bush bailed out the auto industry, Bush began the TARP before leaving office. The recession ended five months after Obama took office. He just followed Bushs' plan. Obama even extended the Bush Tax cuts.

Exactly but I'm thinking, in spite of the pain, this could be an interesting experiment. Let Trump take the country isolationist, impose tariffs, let our allies impose tariffs back, targeting Trump supporting states, let Trump pull out of NAFTA, thus tearing down the stock market, let it all play out. Let Trump do what he wants and let it be an education for red states. Then let the country regionalize so blue states aren't on the hook with the resulting red state mess.

Except that the rest of the world may discover the US is not as critical to their success as we like to believe. I'm sure Canada and Mexico would prefer to trade with us, but it may be they may find other more reliable trading partner elsewhere. The damage could be long lasting.

Same could be said for the Pacific rim. I'm sure there could be improvements to TPP, but with the US out the other countries are proceeding and adjusting to the US not being part of the trade pact. The US not committing to it appears to have strengthened China's hand.

I think that will happen, yes. I think the other countries are going to learn they can do without the U.S. The next step needs to be for the country to regionalize. Allow blue states to negotiate their own agreements with other countries and let Trump country deal with the mess they created for themselves.

Bush Ties Policy to Record Home Ownership | Fox News

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – President Bush on Friday promoted his efforts to help Americans, especially minorities, "realize their dreams" of home ownership as he wooed the large Hispanic population of a state he barely lost four years ago.

"We want more people owning their own home in America," Bush said. His goal is to have 5.5 million minority homeowners in the country by the end of the decade.
.
.
.
To his right was a sign apparently manufactured by the White House that read, "A home of your own." Aides also issued a news release titled "Dismantling The Barriers To Homeownership" to further underscore the message of the day."
bush (who was quite liberal) CONTINUED the liberal Clinton policy..... still a liberal origin

Bush saved us? I can' barely breath from riotous laughter.
