You're wrong! When Obama came in every single indicator was headed straight down. You just cannot deny that because you know darn well what was happening. Now all indicators are no longer going straight down, but are inching up - that is a turn around!


The current recovery is anemic. To imply his policies are a success with the current results is to assume every other recovery miraculously occurred - because they were done without $4 trillion in deficits. It is impossible to argue the counter factual.

Can you tell me the current recovery is a success for Obama? What happens when the deficit spending stops - or even slows.

The Obama economy is like a camel loaded down to the breaking point being kept alive with massive shots of adrenalin. Much of which has been simply pissed away as payoffs to his solar funders. Why is it not a crime you are screaming about?

As to inflation. You bet that is a concern

The biggest risk of inflation is the unlimited money printing by the Fed. Of course that is also the only reason interest rates are low, with the fed soaking up all of the debt.
