Understanding the Obama Economy

With advice from folks like this, everything becomes much clearer.

PB, it seems apparent to me that the best that can be said for Big O's administration is that they kept things from getting a whole lot worse. Although they seem to sort of vaguely occupy the part of the political spectrum I support, they haven't been very effective or provided the sort of leadership and inspiration I had hoped for.

Who is your choice to replace him and what policies do you think they should follow to improve things going forward?

Apparently.

My choice would be Mitch Daniels, unfortunately, he isn't running. As to policies, I've set them out many times.

That doesn't really answer anything - someone who's running please.

Also, you've never really set out anything you support in my reading of your posts, it's always been "that's wrong" or smaller government or no spending. All just negatives, generalizations or rightist platitudes.

How to deal with China, the financial industry, job creation - specifics please.

I voted for Romney in the last primary and was hopeful someone else would come along with better bonifides.

Still waiting!!

End the NLRB fight against Boeing now.

Approve the Keystone pipeline now. Investigating alternate routes can be done concurrently.

Repeal Obamacare now, approve a 50-state minimum health insurance plan for catastrophic illnesses with hi deductibles that can be purchased for 200/month by anyone without preconditions.

Now that Labor's extortion was successful, complaint dropped.

If it had merit, why drop it at all??

Labor Board withdraws Boeing complaint - chicagotribune.com

The National Labor Relations Board has officially dropped its high-profile case challenging Boeing's decision to open a nonunion plant in South Carolina.

The move Friday came after the Machinists union approved a 4-year contract extension with Boeing earlier this week and agreed to withdraw its charge that the company violated labor laws.

Woulda - does the word "disingenuous" mean anything to you? It sure applies to your post.

I'm pleased the matter was dropped, that leaves only two more items to go on my three point plan!!

House Republicans offer their plan for extending the payroll tax cut for US workers. A sweetener to get conservatives on board: the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which Obama wants to delay.
Go Baby, GO!!
