I think that I speak for most of us when I say we only care about what's going on in 2012.
You speak for most of your kind, not most of us. And I think it is "election" that is happening in 2012. But then, y'all have been keeping an eye on it, working diligently for it since Nov 4, 2008.
The market going up is how you judge a good economy? The market has doubled since Obama took office... isn't That Great!! ...so has the debt, the amount of people on welfare, and the poverty rates. He touts that he has created 5M jobs; the problem is that most of them are low-paying jobs. Gas and commodities are up 100%, power rates are up 40%, CoL is up 28%...and on and on and on. At the same time the FED policies of supressing interest rates is killing retirees income.
Kennedy cut taxes across the board.
Roosevelt warned not to allow the public sector to unionize.
Democrats voted to go to war with Iraq (before they were against it)
History works for progressives, only when it fits their agenda! Look around, history doesn't apply to Obama. If you wanted a moderate President, you should have voted for Hillary. At least, she would have worked with Republicans, and that's how all those other successful Democrats pulled if off. Obama locks out the conservatives and then blames them for not giving him carte blanche. That is the definition of a douche bag hardliner.
By 2003, Mr. Bush grasped this lesson. In that year, he cut the dividend and capital gains rates to 15 percent each, and the economy responded. In two years, stocks rose 20 percent. In three years, $15 trillion of new wealth was created. The U.S. economy added 8 million new jobs from mid-2003 to early 2007, and the median household increased its wealth by $20,000 in real terms.
But the real jolt for tax-cutting opponents was that the 03 Bush tax cuts also generated a massive increase in federal tax receipts. From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenues increased by $785 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history. According to the Treasury Department, individual and corporate income tax receipts were up 40 percent in the three years following the Bush tax cuts. And (bonus) the rich paid an even higher percentage of the total tax burden than they had at any time in at least the previous 40 years. This was news to theNew York Times, whose astonished editorial board could only describe the gains as a “surprise windfall.”
