You make some interesting observation. However, I find that the arguments you make in support of your opinions are not complete. Clinton was very astute and was also very intelligent as Obama is. I remember his one thing that is very remarkable which he did as President-elect. He convened a meeting of all the powers that be in Little Rock. These were industry stalwarts who were very influential and could significantly impact the economy. And by the time he was sworn in he had a plan in place. A plan that was the outcome of his Little Rock meeting.

I also agree with you that we had boom times during Clinton. But that was then. A time when taxes were higher that what we have today and where Obama cannot get his Congress to agree to. Furthermore, Clinton did not inherit a war-ravaged economy. Clinton did not have a predecessor who went out limping as Obama did. The economy handed to Obama needed ER, MRI etc. etc. Clinton's
did not. The wound could be attended to at the sidelines and the player sent back to play.

Would you have any thoughts on why the economy was on the upswing in 2009 and 2010 and then from there on out it went downhill resulting in the downgrade of the credit rating. S&P's opinion on why they downgraded says it all.

I am still trying to ponder on why you think Ron Paul is Presidential material. He opposes the killing of Alwaki. He is against immigrants who want to come here and give their labor to build their country. But he opposes the killing of someone who has renounced everything American, has denounced everything American and is advocating the wanton killing of Americans. Why do you say that this makes Ron Paul Presidential material?
