Obama has managed to turn around the Bush economy, despite rock-solid GOP opposition. Not because he has bad ideas, but because if a Republican votes for a good idea, it becomes a bipartisan idea, and then they can’t use partisanship against Obama, and he wins. Romney has promised to bring back the Bush economy, only with bigger deficits this time. Check his numbers. It’s not just scary, it’s stupid scary.
With total opposition from a House, were "economics"and budgets are written, he’s still managed to save things from the crash “full agreement” with Bush policies would have taken us to greater disasters. If you want people selling apples on street corners, with 25% unemployment again, vote for Romney and Ryan, and keep the House in Republican control, and god forbid, a majority in the Senate.
No matter how you slice and dice the numbers, Bush’s economic performance beats 0bama’s by a proverbial mile..And that does not take into consideration that:1. Bush inherited a recession – dot-com bust;2. 9/11 – about $ 1 trillion hit to the US economy;3. World financial liquidity crises exploded in 2007, which was pretty much stabilized by the time 0bama took office, albeit not the resultant recession, end of which was however officially called in June 2009 . . . !!!.http://www.nber.org/cycles/sept2010.html.0bama has presided over 3+ years of economic expansion . . .!!!.Where are the jobs?.3.5+ years of unrelenting war on capitalism is bearing fruits: the lowest capital formation in history of the USA, the lowest new enterprises in the history of the USA . . . .!!!.The choice is very simple – growth of Government vs. growth of private economy / capitalism.
CNN aired ‘Romney Revealed’ – nothing even close to what 0bama would like us to believe about him . . . . I am certain that this was not what they intended..I can’t wait to see ’Obama Revealed ’. I am sure it will give 2016 a run for the money . . .
“So long story short Obamas done nothing on the economy.”.
I beg to differ:.Aside of signing thousands of pages of new Government Enabling laws, the tens of his ‘zars’ were very busy ‘controlling’ private enterprise, because as he said it – private sector is doing just fine . . . ..And lets not forget how he saved the American auto industry – for the UAW, while screwing millions of small investors . . . ..He did much to the American economy indeed, otherwise we would be growing at 4+% and adding 600k jobs a month – see Reagan’s expansion.
Amazing that our “local” republicans have never heard the terms “Blue Dog”, or “filibuster”. Alleged "majorities"let alone “control” aren’t always what the seem. It’s also like they ignore even “their” economists , who repeatedly point out that the last “Bush budget year” didn’t end until October 2009, or that “events” of eight years during Bush, and Republicans following “Reaganomics” protocols will still be having effects for a few more years, let alone throwing in those little “wars” in Afghanistan and Iraq that Bush didn’t even include in the “budget”. Oh, right, Iraq paid for their war, as did those super-wealthy folks in Afghanistan.

Independents must vote for 0bama, so that they can become dependents – of the State.

“…Proof of this please…” Who disagrees that the price of gasoline is 100% higher than when Obama took office.

“Sr nonliberal”, I’d be more than happy to “throw the bum out”, to reside with his untaxed money, but it appears Romney has “papers”.
