“I have to look at the fiscal bottom line for my family. I resent paying higher taxes for government programs that I do not support.
Obama needs to figure this out or suffer the consequences.”
Those are my sentiments. Regarding the misery index Big Picture had an interesting take on the Current misery index, here are the links
In reality The Bush administration is holding its own with Carter in the misery category. (Does anybody hear Larry Kudlow screaming)
Obama is a classic liberal and he doesn’t seem to try to hide from it unlike previous Democratic politicians. At least he is straight forward. I don’t get that he is an idealogue which is my biggest beef with the last batch of Republicans. If he were to become president he has no choice but to govern from the center given that this is still a slightly right of center nation. After having very recently tasted what it is like being put into the wilderness the Democrats will be very cautious with their agendas. Many of them remember Carter too. One wrong step and Republicans will easily take the House in 2010.
