America is bigger than one miserable, failed presidency. And the recovery is currently underway, with capable hands at the wheel.
Well said.

Lol. They're old, frail and archaic (Talking about the wingnuts). What do you expect from them? Im surprised many of them know how to use a computer. Of course, they have yet to put it to good use. They spew hate and nonsense here all the time.

Blame the greedy corporate thieves for that. You can't pin this on anyone else but the CEOs of GM, Ford, Chrysler. (Them, the UAW, high health costs, crappy products etc....)

He is now directly responsible for what ever happens. No other president in history has ever been in his position. The country is now socialist.
Well, you are right. This has been going on for a while. It was before GW, Obama, Clinton etc. GW just sat like a duck, letting these corporate clowns pillage our coffers. No regulation, that's expected.

Exactly. Give it some time. It's only been a few months. You sound like a true body man...(about rust and crust, lol.)

So don't bad mouth the Bush years to me, although I did not vote for him ever.

There may be a recovery, but I am not holding my breath expecting it to happen. I just hope we don't end up a communist country.

As for Carter: I remember starting to buy hot dogs for my children when he was in office and the lady standing next to me was buying them also. I mentioned what a good price they were and she told me that she was buying them for her dog because she could not buy dog food with her food stamps. If I hadn't had to pay for her dogs food, maybe I would have had money to buy better food for my children. I used to be a Democrat and I am all for having everybody eat in the United States, but I think more people should get out and work to pay for what they eat. It gets a little old and charity should begin at home; not in the neighbors doghouse.
Please define communism (top of your head), no dictionary. And you are old....at least you dont have Alzheimer's yet.

Even Clinton is begining to look like a god when compared with Oabama bin Laden.
Learn how to spell our President's name right (that, and beginning). No wonder why the schools are failing. You have a lots to learn.

Well said, Casper. Some just don't get it.

Thanks to the teleprompter handcuffed to his wrist. I can see it now:
