What we know as Obamacare is essentially the plan that the Heritage Foundation created in the 1990s. It's the same as Romneycare. Are Romney and Heritage left wing?

And yet the Heritage Foundation is one of the driving forces trying to get Obamacare defunded.

Herman Cain is like the Andy Kaufman of GOP politics - nobody will ever know if he is really that crazy or just good at acting like he is.

Except Dubya, who had congress for 6 years.

6 is longer than 2.

So.................... after eight years of

lower incomes
more unemployment
lower savings
more in poverty
more on foodstamps
more homeless
more part time workers

...........................what next? More of the same policy of the previous eight years? If not, what "new" ideas will liberals have to reverse the above trend? Do you contend it will take sixteen years? Fifty years? Why did it take Reagan only three years?
At the end of Obama's term, America will be in better shape than it was when he entered office.

At the end of Clinton's term, America was in better shape than when he took office.

The two Bush boys?

Naw... We all know how they went out. Both times, it wasn't good.

That's why Pubs are always bragging about Reagan. He was their last guy to do well in office. Problem is, millions of current voters weren't even born when the Gipper left office.

But it's your best bragging line, so keep going back to it.

All they left out was the part about everyone paying for it. But you knew that. You just didn't know we know that.

The Republicans praise Reagan because besides the 1987 "collapse" he had a good track record. Bush did until the 91/92 recession.

I want to see how Obama will be getting America back on track. The "building blocks" for economic recovery he has planted have not exactly done much for the wages. The only things to go up are home values and 401Ks (if the person didn't have to tap into it.)
