That's what my husband and I are always saying.

Bill Clinton couldn't have pulled it off in four years and quite frankly I think it will be around the year 2020 before we see a dramatic change in the economy. The next four years won't be that much better but it would certainly be worse under Romney. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to vote for someone who would put in place the same exact economic policies that got us into this mess in the first place. Romney is surrounding himself with former Bush aides to help him with the economy and foreign affairs. Lets not even talk bout foreign affairs because under a Romney administration we would be going to war with Iran.
This is factually false. Do your homework.

That is one opinion.

The way I see it, he completely limited the opportunity for any innovation in the auto industry.

Letting these companies fail due to their bad business practices could have easily set up a scenario where there was a ton of factory space and equipment to be liquidated and purchased by start up type companies looking to do bigger and better things as compared to our current auto and manufacturing industry. With it there would have also been lots of people from those industries looking for jobs, and possibly coming up with their own plans/companies. Its as simple as looking at what happened when we had the internet bubble...nobody "saved" those companies and when they went bankrupt all of the capital, equipment, and facilities were on up for grabs for pennies on the dollar, which helped to created some of the biggest and most innovative tech companies out there today like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Yelp.

Well based on the early voting numbers I can see why Romney is pulling out of the state. Turnout thus far is higher then it was in 2008, and it is overwhelmingly Democratic D+13. Once more there are another 2 weeks of this.
