Exactly right.

Like a breath of fresh air when you hear someone nail it on the head.

Many parts of the world are completely our of this recession, so why are we still mired in it?

This recession would be OVER right now- had we followed the rules of the free market!

What "many parts of the world" are you referring to? China?

What "many parts of the world" are you referring to? China?

China will have 10+ GDP growth this year
India will have 8+ GDP growth this year
Pacific Rim will have 8% GDP growth theis year
South America will have 6 to 8% GDP growth this year
Even Germany will have about 8% growth this year
Korea will have 8+% growth

The recession has been over for these places for more than a year now.

Our policies are keeping the USA mired in gook for years to come
USA = 1.2% GDP growth- not even enough to keep from losing more jobs.

When you looks at studies on the best nations to do business in, the US continues to fall behind many of Europe's more socialist economies. When even the Chicoms and the Germans get what makes a succesful economy, why can't Obama?

Given the garbage that he inherited on Day-1, I'd say he's done as well as anyone could do... (I shudder to think what it would be now if Geezer & Gidget had won the election...)

Hey- Gidget would have done just fine.

And she would have looked good doing it too!

I'm pretty sure Palin, if she were Vice President, would have resigned by now, but she'd look good doing it.

The US has the highest corporate tax rate and the most regulation in the world . European nations are gravitating toward free market principals and their economies are improving because of that.

If failure was enough to get someone to resign, whether it be woman or man, Obama would have been gone a long time ago.

But of course, the Left is still hung up on Palin and in this case McCain. If only they were as objective (laugh) with their own?

I believe that the question was asked if McCain & Palin would have done any better than Obama & Biden. I doubt they would have done any better.

Then people (myself included) started making remarks about Palin's looks and her ability to quit mid-term. That's all.
