Catawba;1059428231]I think it was more about the Recession that the Democrats did not fix quickly enough. We'll find out in a little over a year. Personally, I don't think anyone can beat him. Who's your pick?
Well everyone is entitled to their opinions, mine is the people weren't on board with the policies of the democrats, and the direction this country was headed in. As for my pick ... doesn't matter, if he doesn't show results in the next year and half ... anyone can beat him, Just as in 2008 there was not a Republican that could have won, didn't matter who the opposition was ... a democrat was going to win. The bottom line is really very simple, either things improve .... or you are out of office .. and if they do improve, a sitting president is nearly unbeatable.
Yep ?? But what if his actions end up producing results ? It could mean he would be unbeatable by the next election he faces .
While there is much in Obama's foreign policy that I fault him for, but under Obama's leadership we changed our course the last administration had us on to another Great Depression, made the largest step towards national health care (like all the rest of the 1st world nations) that has ever been made, provided a tax cut for the middle class (those hardest hit by the recession) and has invested more than any president in history in alternatives to our war for oil energy policy of the last decade.
To me, that's one hell of an accomplishment with the dead weight of the GOP blocking every step forward this country tries to take.
Chuckles …. well the claim can be made that he saved us from a depression, but that is something that can never be proven.
Well you keep promoting the great obama health care bill, it's still not widely liked, it may never become law, if obama's lawyers ever allow it to get to the Supreme Court, their delay tactics are very telling to me. As for all those other 1st world countries you speak of, why is it that the majority of them are doing whatever they can to get out from under the overbearing cost of health care to the government??? Seems to me that we are trying to implement what many other governments are trying to get out from under.
As for your asinine statement of the GOP blocking him at every turn, that is the common response of a liberal, that seems to forget that the liberals held all three branches of government with overwhelming majorities, and that the GOP couldn't stop anything. It was your liberal party that couldn't get things together …. so stop blaming their ineptness on others.
If it would result in meaningful compromise, yes. My observations through the years is that it has resulted in problems just being ignored in hopes they go away. We'll see if it will be any different this time
Again that is you opinion, from what I've seen the only progress that was made over the years have come from just that scenario..... one party control just doesn't work, never has … never will .
