Newsweek.

It might as well have been in Pravda. It has all the fanciful relevence of suggesting that the moon would have exploded if the republicans had been in power. It is the desperate attempt of the liberals to divert attention from Obama's gross economic failures- alternate universe theories. That is just hilarious.

I wonder if Elvis would have been resurrected if McCain had been elected?

Sane people deal with reality. Here is Obama's reality-

1. $1.5 trillion annual deficits
2. $14 trillion debt
3. declining GDP
4. Unemployment at 9.5% and rising (real unemployment close to 20%)
5. record mortgage defaults
6. home prices sinking

Reality is hard to face when one has created a huge mess. It is better to live in the fanciful world of "what ifs" when one is a failure. This is the political version of a escapist drug trip to avoid reality. Dump Obama and the dems.

Did they teach you to be "incurious" in your medical school?

Nationally house prices are up nearly seven percent from the lows in 2009 with some cities showing double digit gains.

You don't want to deal with reality...you want to complain.

Weren't the Republicans telling us the economy was fundamentally sound?

The difference is this is a supposition based in math. Your statement; however, is a non sequitur.

no one is saying the economy was in great shape when obama took over, just that he has made things far worse.

you do know the difference between fundamentally sound and healthy right? the fact is that even today the economy IS fundamentally sound, but it is weak. we are at a crossroads right now, make the right moves and the economy gets better. make the wrong moves and it gets worse. but we still make things in this country, people are still working, profits are still being made, and the potential for better is still there.
