    Yes. Basically, Obama will keep doing what he's been trying to do for the last 4 years. I think it will work even better over the next 4 years because our economy is growing now instead of shrinking precipitously and because the Republicans in Congress will no longer act with "making sure Obama is a one term president" as their top priority. They will actually try to help grow our economy instead of obstruct everything just so they can claim, "Obama failed!" during the campaign season.

    Do you want to let Obama have another for years and try to elect a real conservative in 2016, or do you want to send Democrats a message that "block and blame" is the way to win elections? Do you really want to try to re-elect Romney in 2016 after we go over the fiscal cliff and fall back into recession because the Democrats decide to give Republicans a taste of their own obstuctionist medicine?

    His plan is "more of the same"....

    Because it DID work the last four years!

    If you are NOT FAR better off than you were four years ago, that can only mean that either Bush left you "just too poor" to invest in America, or that you simply lack the patriotism or intelligence (neither of which we could really blame on Obama!) to invest in the stock of US companies listed on the Dow...

    Under Mr. Bush, the Dow Jones Industrial Index went from 10,860 in 2001 when he was elected to 8,279 in Jan 2009 when his Presidency ended, an extraordinary decline of 23.7%.

    Under Obama, the Dow has risen from that 8,279 in Jan 2009 to 13,108 as of moments ago, a gain of 4,829 points, or 58.3%

    That's an annualized real rate of return of about 14%, corrected for inflation.....so if you AREN'T at least 55% better-off today than the day Bush was gone, guess who's to blame for that?

    YOU, and no-one else!

    It's working for most Americans (even Romney, in reality!), if it ain't working for you, then you screwed up bad, Sunshine!...

    For one thing, his grand bargain was a good plan to handle the deficit that the House Republicans failed to recognize.

    President Obama has turned the economy around during the worst Post WW2 recession. If you have any doubts, see the chart in the link below.

    A $1.3 trillion deficit and nearly $6 trillion in added national debt and the unemployment rate is JUST NOW BARELY under 8%. At this rate, it will take 12 years and another $18 trillion to get the unemployment rate back down below 5% again if you listen to Obama!

    Although I'm not a liberal I will tell you that his plan is just more of the same crap he's been throwing at everyone since he started campaigning over six years ago.

    Read the lovely shiny Obamaspeak Pamphlet that suddenly showed up this week. Too little, way too late.
