"Many people believe we survived the Great Depression despite the mistakes made by FDR. Karl Rove is not nor was he ever President. Even you should readily admit that Obama has no class. He attacks personal citizens and comments on womens' weight. Besides every time Obama speaks, markets crash." Even if that were true (and i don't think it is), we didn't break apart as a nation, and it didn't stop the next 75 years from being the most prosperous in our history. Which is why i think your rhetoric is so ridiculous. FDR's New Deal wasn't incompatible with economic growth and neither were Bill Clinton's tax increases. You purist free market chicken littles would have us believe the end is upon us if we don't do exactly as you demand, but you're always wrong. Your hyperbolic warnings lack credibility. I think you're just rationalizing your anger about things not going your way at the moment. This would also explain your personal animus towards the President. Whether FDR put the "Great" in the Depression or mitigated it is debatable. Liberals love to cite FDR as an epic hero for what he did. For fifty years realists have essentially laid off real analysis to avoid conflict with the hero worship. Actually, my personal feeling about Obama are that he is a great speech reader. He may be a great speech writer, but he has lots of help now. He seems to motivate people when he wants to. It is a great disappointment that he choses to use his abilities to tear down the institutions that made this country great. I have animus for his policies, not for the man. Yes, I choose to see that he is classless and debases the office. Your failure to respond indicates you don't want to discuss the issue. Is that because you know it is true? Do you admire people who attack women for their weight? Do you like people who use their office to attack private individuals. Come on, President Bush was attacked by liberals in most undecorous ways, yet he NEVER responded nor acted without decorum. It took Obama just a few days to prove he has much lower standards.
