Clinton was able to see where the country was going, and adjusted. He worked with the Congress, and the results are history. After his defeat in 2010, Obama has simply become firmer in his resolve to institute a socialist system. There is no working with him. He needs to be replaced. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Markets have always rebounded briskly following sharp plunges. The "recovery" since midyear 2009, when the NBER called the end of the recession, has been the weakest since the 1930s. We needed a robust economic recovery agenda in 2009, but instead we got a political payoffs and entitlement expansion agenda.
if you do not remember...(DJI) was bellow the 8,000 mark. Means today your savings are probably worth about 50% more than what they did when Bush left office.

Well remember he wanted hope and change.Think it wasn't well thought out the opposition he would receive. Originally Posted by ekim008Opposition to what?!?

I am just going to guess that no one is interested in rolling back their 401k to where it was when G.W. Bush left office huh?No, but I'd be willing to roll it back to the Clinton years. Of course, at the end of the Clinton administration, I sold my half of our stock portfolio and bought gold. Now THAT was a good move.

He also made a decision to sign NDAA 2012 now we have check points on our streets by the TSA and random checks on METRO buses by the po-po and the TSA. Ya, he’s a winner. Taxing the poor and killing Liberty along with Bin Laden.

The fact that we have had such a sluggish rate of economic growth and job creation should surprise no one. Bad economic policy tends to produce such outcomes. Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight

Yup, Ekim. That's how they will define it. If you disagree, you must hate. If you hate, you must be a terrorist. If you are a terrorist, you must be confined without trial or habeas corpus.
That's EXACTLY how it will play out. Now, what happens if we have a president YOU disagree with, Ekim? Guess. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
