Actually we agree that Obama has some good ideas and has done well. While I think the tax rate is too high everywhere, I believe it is far fairer now than it was under Bush or Clinton.

Bob and I are not blinded by political BS as you seem to be such that we are quite critical of both parties.
The most important thing was that Obama took over at the very nadir of the economic crises. The economy had no where to go but up.
Indeed, I agree again. It would have recovered with Bush or McCain as president also.

The KEY was appointing Bernanke who dumped money from helicopters that the US government could use to keep the HUGE payroll of government workers, in military and elsewhere, employed. They also sent money to the states that allowed some like Illinois, CA and NY to keep spending as 100% democratic controlled legislatures do... without going under.

I believe only the dogmatic on the far right who wanted to see the country fail under Obama at the expense of the people they were elected to help think otherwise.
