I was thinking about how gun control does not seem to interest Obama. Most libs like gun control. There are a lot of things which most libs like and Obama does not seem interested in. Like closing Guantanamo Bay, or pulling troops out of Afghanistan does not really bankrupt the United States. Can you think of any policy pushed by Obama that does not have a side effect of bankrupting the United States?Can you find evidence to contradict the assertion that all areas where libs have been disappointed with Obama involve his failure to take actions that don't bankrupt the United States?

The same could be said of Romney. Neither candidate has the guts to make substantive changes to the revenue and expenditure levels of the Federal government. They may spout their talking points about "cutting waste" or the making the "rich pay their fair share" but the actual numbers are far too small.Both sides have created a quasi-stable equilibrium in which the Democrats can blame the Republicans over taxes and the Republicans can blame the Democrats over spending.

Unemployment rate has already dropped from 10.4% to 7.7%. As I had predicted, the unemployment rate will be around 5% by November 2016. The economy will no longer be a viable platform for the GOP.

(snip)?According to the government, another 350,000 Americans left the labor force during November, and when you keep pretending that huge chunks of workers ?disappear? each month it is easy to get the ?unemployment rate? to go down,? wrote economy blogger Michael Snyder, who acknowledges that the number of Americans ?not in the labor force? has grown by almost 8.5 million since the Obama administration began.(snip)Among opponents of the president?s politics behind jobs figures, the truth behind employment numbers is an example of how the current White House?s policies have not done as promised.?If the labor force participation rate were the same as when the president took office, the unemployment rate would be 10.7 percent,?
