    Coming along slowly, but it is coming along. What is missing from this picture are all the ropes the republicans have tied to the non-runnng runner that are holding him back, and the rest of us.

    Boehner and McConnell buried the baton.

    You mean they are playing “hide the baton”?

    Obama doesn’t want the economy to recover. He has worked hard the past 3.5 years to destroy it.

    Sorry, but you democrats had 3 years to fix things and all you did was make things worse. Stop blaming us for not blindly following your bad ideas.

    According to liberals and democrats, yet.

    Come on! Be fair!
    It took Bush/Cheney 8 years to get the economy into the shape it was.
    And even then there were a couple of spikes that made it look like things were going to improve.

    Actually, the national debt was about $1 trillion when Reagan took office. It was about $12 trillion when W left office, with a detour in the Clinton years when there was a budgetary surplus.

    So, it’s really taken 30 years of concerted Republican policies to produce the mess

    don’t worry they will make more government jobs to bring the unemployment down

    Have a nice nap. You’ll feel better and maybe make some sense.

    You fail to understand that adding jobs slowly is better than losing them quickly, as was the case for the Republican party and its policies.

    Let’s be honest here. Politics in Washington have sunk any coherent recovery strategy. Neither the Democratic or Republican approaches have actually been tried. The ball’s been allowed to fall between them.

    The US is rapidly becoming ungovernable. If Romney is elected you an expect Democrats to take revenge for the last four years by blocking everything he tries.

    If you’re going to make stupid comments, they should at least be entertaining.

    Just remember folks, Will Rogers put it best when he asked;
    “If Pro and Con are opposites, does that make Congress the opposite of Progress?”
    That’s the truly sad part of the system we have today. If Obama gets re-elected, every Republican in Congress is going to do whatever they can to be sure NOTHING he proposes will pass, just like Turtle-Boy McConnell has been doing for the last 3.5 years.
    BUT, if Romney gets elected, every Democrat in Congress will do the EXACT SAME THING!
    End result??
    MORE gridlock, MORE disputes, MORE deficits, MORE of the same old crap!
    NO progress, NO cooperation, NO improvement!
    And people around the world wonder why the U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnouts of ANY major industrialized nation!

    Except that zippy will have set the standard for doing things through “executive orders”. President Romney (get used to saying that) can simply issue an executive order to undo all the job killing regulations imposed by the EPA, Dept. of Energy, etc.
