And things are going pretty damned good AND I suspect far better than if McCain/palin had won And better better than I will if romney/? wins.

The fact that some/alot of folks are still hurting, does not change the fact that they and we will do worse under teaparty/gop rule.

Over there the economy has gotten worse, Health care reform is Communism, and there are a thousand more reasons why Obama's presidency has been a disaster for the country.
