FDR went with "the President who guided the nation through the Great Depression" theme for nearly four terms.

It surely beats protestations that "the economy are strong."

The current administration and the Fed tried to inflate their way out of a recession and made it worse. Overbuilding in the 20 or so states home to oil fields, agriculture, and mining made the downturn very abrupt in the second half of the year.

I think he's going to be on the winning side. Whichever side that is. He's a politician for chrissake.

How can you ever have a productive society when the incompetent greedy gamblers are bailed out with taxpayer funds?
Save the rich, save the rich, we'll get the money from the public, from the children, from the grand-children....give it to the "too big to fail". We must save them or the gamblers will lose their casino.

Right....an FDR type doesn't show up until 2012, IMO....and it will likely be an independent....how else could this disaster be fixed?
