What failed policies?

How is that recovery package working?
Economy on the rebound?
It's working quite well compared to what every credible economist says would have happened without it. And yes, the economy is coming back, slowly but surely.

maybe another neat graph is what we need.
Sounds like it.

Quote:
We got out of the depression of 1920 by cutting taxes and government spending by 40 percent in two years time. The economy recovered and unemployment went from 12 percent to under 4 percent in two years time.
But Big Government types like Obama and Romney have the answer right?
And how did we get out of the Great Depression? Massive government spending, Keynesian style, thanks to the New Deal and WWII.

Lightbulb Obama vs. Romney - Who will win?

Obama will win handily. The professionals within the GOP know this. And that's why their line-up of hopefuls looks like a bad clown act this time.

They're aiming for 2016.

Interesting. Well if Obama outguns the Republicans despite the economy, it could be interesting. The whole strategy of the Republican since at least 2010 has been to undermine Obama. They have no real, sensible ideas for America. So, I think it is quite possible many of the "Tea Party" caucus could get booted. Then maybe Obama would be able to get something done in his second term.

Really? I didn't know the election was more than a small off cycle election.

In Ohio #2 lost (killing SB5) and #3 won(basically worthless up-yours to Obamacare). Each side lost one.

Everybody keep in mind that in 2000 Gore "should have" won easily, peacetime and a pretty good economy.

Didn't the Democrats have control of both the house and senate the first two years of Obama's presidency? Actually, the still control the senate also, right? Sounds like a lame excuse to me. The problem is that Obama has no clue what needs to be done.

Why not just change your party affiliation to Democrat? My guess is that you are either a Mormon, a paid Romney shill/troll, or someone who doesn't really have a firm political ideology (kinda like Princess Mitt), and just supports the "prettiest" candidate, and sees political elections as simply a long, drawn-out episode of American Idol. In fact, it would not surprise me one bit if you were a past John Edwards supporter.
