Not just before an election.
If you go back to every 4 year cycle this kind of thing happens.

It is both Republicans and Democrats working together to keep their jobs.
Happens all the time every four years and I don't buy it at all.
Our economy has at least 16% unemployment and 11% inflation if you don't pad numbers.

So you want us to be torpedoed??

My gas prices have gone down by about 50 per gallon in the last couple weeks. It was 3.99 now it is 3.49. My company is hiring, we even just hired a college student. We should hope for better times in Europe as well.

As for me, I will be happy that the economy is turning around, slowly or not. Everything doesn't happen overnight.

Like clockwork, any good news about the US economy while a Democrat is in charge is immediately met with a slew of right wing radio and Fox News talking points full of doom and gloom.

According to the conservatives we were all supposed to be living in the streets by now and the Islamic Nazi Communist Hordes certainly should have taken over by now.
Do you think I still need that warehouse of Glenn Beck freedom seeds? HA![SIZE=3][/SIZE]

The conservatives should be celebrating President Obama's grand victory over the economy just as he was victorious over Bin Laden and Libya.

Wasn't there supposed to be a brief period when we would all be sent to the FEMA camps? I can't remember if that was before or after Shariah Law took hold and the worldwide Caliphate was in power.

What Obama policies do you credit for Wall Street getting richer, while we have historical unemployment, record setting people on welfare, food stamps, social security disability, etc...???

Did Obama say that padding the wallets of Wall Street fat cats was his goal, and now the left wants to crow about it?

He's going to be the first President to go out with less jobs in America than when he first went in.
Dubious record and distinction.
