Yeap, and if Boo Boo Bear is re-elected, it will still be Bush's fault, as all his failed policies over the past 4 years are stellar.

Probably begins in November. Depends on who wins and what happens in Europe and China. Europe will highly likely drag us down. Oil price stability and cost will be very important factors inexorably connected with regional turmoil/revolution/war. Terrorism is another potentially strong factor. On the other hand, the dollar will strengthen and non-domestic cigar prices will continue to fall back slowly...

If Obama gets reelected, look for $8/gal gas
and a $30T debt load. See, today's debt at $16T
is HALF of $30T. He keeps his promise, in
retrospect.

Get these incompetent AMATEURS out of DC !!!!

I don't get it. I'm better off now than I was 4 years ago. This really has very little impact from the president.

My client company has more work for me than I'll be able to accomplish, I've managed to get out from under all my credit card debt I'd acquired from dating a high-maintenance girl on a biotech-startup salary. My condo has likely regained some of the value it had lost back when I'd initially considered putting it on the market, enough that I'll likely make a 75% profit off the sale.

I've got a job, it pays well, it will likely continue paying for a long time.
I constantly get offers for additional work in the area with different companies.
I'm not carrying any operating debt, and will likely have eliminated all debt in my life within the next few months.

I don't understand how so many people can be claiming to be worse off.

I can understand why many are worse off if they lost jobs or downgraded out of necessity..... easily... its interesting that this population would get hit so hard though... doesn't seem statistically sound.... but you can see the poll yourself. its true.

my 401K is in much better shape. It was a 201K 4 years ago..... I remember that. Maybe everyone here pulled their retirement money out of the market in a panic, realized the loss then didn't reinvest until it was too late to recoup.
