[quote=briansd1][quote=Arraya]If we don’t go into recession again, Obama should slip in. If we do, then it’s a different story. The recent storm clouds gathering over the EU and banks again should be cause for concern for Obama supporters.[/quote]
I agree with this assessment.
The key is to keep growth on track.[/quote]
Brian: Um, what growth? Have you seen the figures regarding growth? They’re friggin’ dismal and not likely to get better anytime soon.
You throw in a potential Eurozone meltdown (which is growing ever more likely) and shit is likely to get WAY worse before it gets better.
The other thing that isn’t being discussed (at least by the Dems) is that Obama is also effectively fighting the clock right now. Even if he puts forth a meaningful jobs program in early September, he’s likely to run into the same problems he did with the stimulus money: Those shovel-ready jobs ain’t really so shovel-ready right now. That also leaves out whether or not he actually has a meaningful jobs program…
