    Crhis Matthews is an idiot. He's practically made of straw. To use him to illustrate anything meaningful is like using bouton's. It's a study in futility.

    You realized that was parody, no?

    Obama has been a disappointment. It has nothing to do with his complexion. You have officially been awakened.
    A Romney presidency would be little better, and likely worse.

    It seems to take about 5-6 years for president to figure the job out and do it effectively. even Bush's administration managed to pull its head out of its ass for the last couple of years.

    I am not so eager to start that clock all over again, with another brand new, inexperienced president, especially given his party's predisposition to political litmus tests over competency.

    As much as I have disliked Obama's first few years, he actually seems a bit head of that curve, probably because his administration wasn't as hobbled as Bush's was, for that reason.

    Romney and Ryan's devotion to their faith, does not fill me with any great confidence in their critical thinking skills.

    Lol @ your last statement. You would've hated FDR.


    Obama wasted too much of his first term trying to churn out AHCA, when he should've been laser focused on the economy. Just my opinion.

    Darrin fixated with the race card. No surprises there.

    Wake me up when Darrin explains the racial discrepancies in every category you can think of instead of ing about the use of the race card. I realize those not capable of independent thought are unable to do much more than parrot but that ing bird gets annoying after awhile.

    Only if you accept the two are mutually exclusive or that somehow he didn't spend time on the economy that would have actually made a difference.

    "Ryan's devotion to their faith"
    Catholic bishops, whose people actual deal with the poor, sick, old, saw the sociopathy of Ryan's twice-approved budgets and ed about it.

    Ryan is more faithful to Ayn Ryan and Repug/VRWC ideology for policy guidance than he is to Catholicism.

    I was thinking more in terms of the political capital spent.

    So no, I don't have to adopt your binary solution set.

    I would modestly agree, although one has to acknowledge the % of the economy represented by health care.

    Hmm, in that case perhaps you are right. Darrin used the word time though. But I concede you are a deeper thinker than Darrin.

    In your opinion, what more should Obama have done wrt the economy in those days?

    I'll give you some time to email Michael Yon.

    "when he should've been laser focused on the economy."

    he finished dubya's TARP and delivered as big a stimulus as the Repugs would allow, saving Ms of jobs, trying to offset the Repug states laying off 100Ks of public sector jobs.

    What would you expect Gecko/Ryan to do to the economy moving?

    lol focusing on the economy... he continued Bush's Detroit bailout, and he did attempt the stimulus... you could argue he could've done more or less but frankly, you don't get out of the cluster he received by just "willing it"... economic recoveries of that scale take time. That's why neither candidate right now tell you how they're going to accomplish what they preach. It's highly dubious it's just up to them.
