Yes, Obama and the Fed have truly turned around the US economy
No, Bernanke just blew up more artificial bubbles. We're inevitably heading for bankruptcy and a depression.for bankruptcy and a depression.
My brother-in-law at NCR loves it. The talk of increasing minimum wage has his self-service kiosk division exploding with new orders. Big raises for him to enjoy with his family this year.
It leaves much to be desired, but it shines brightly in comparison to where we would be with a McCain/heaven forbid-Palin economy or a Mittens 'All for the 1%' economy.
You need more than two choices. While the economy hasn't turned around, it is improving but it's not improving because of obummer's policies. In fact, obummercare may push it the other way as Americans across the nation start paying more and more for health care.
Employers who never had to offer health care must now offer it, people who never paid premiums must now pay them, for those of us who have already had insurance, premiums are going up because of mandated coverage, for those who never had insurance, they now have a monthly premium. With one fell swoop, a lot of money is being pulled out of the economy. The question is is the economy strong enough to continue to improve even with that hit. We'll see.
I've lived long enough to know that economies are cyclical and there are only certain things a president can do to stimulate the economy. For example, Eisenhower built the interstate highway system and pulled us out of a bad economy doing so. Whatever a president does has to create jobs in order to positively impact the economy. Obummer has not created jobs so he cannot take credit for any improvements in the economy. As a matter of fact, he may have just shot a limping economy in the foot.
In Michigan, we have a surplus of tax money for the first time in years. There are those who want what obummer did. For the government to give it back to the people and those of use who want the government to do the only thing they can do with that money that will stimulate the economy. Put people to work. We have crumbling roads and bridges. My vote is spend the money fixing them. They'll put people to work who will buy services and goods and eventually we'll enjoy new roads.
Your poll is flawed because it assumes that obummer actually did something to turn the economy around. If he did, I'm not seeing it.

>>> And yet compared to a Ron Paul economy, its The Great Depression.
BTW, the 1% are loving this economy, they're on the receiving end of the transfer of wealth.

Yeah, the 1% will do fine regardless. But they would be getting even more in one of the other alternatives, although it would've wrecked the economic foundation, particularly for those of us in the rank and file. They're largely ok with that, though, since so much of their fortunes are tied up overseas.

Romney would have done little different than what Obama has done. Obama only continued what Bush started.
