(1,435 posts)3. Gop will look to create another phony crisis
We were having a good year in 2011 til they had debt crisis causing downgrade and constant market uncertanty.
They will do something to impede progress, that is in their DNA, party before country. They have been doing it over three years only 9 months to go. Hope people are finally seeing what has happened and realize we could be further along in recovery if it weren't for Gop
OBSTRUCTION.

(11,489 posts)5. I posted about the NASDAQ this AM. Higher than during Bush's entire term.
Only exceeded during the Internet bubble of 2000.
And the Dow and S&P were only higher during the banking/housing bubble of 2008.
Don't rely on the MSM to trumpet this news though.

The last time that happened was 1994.
Have a nice weekend obstructionists.
