Which proposal are you referring to where you assert that President Obama "then pushed votes through when even congresscritters had not had the chance to read what they were voting on."??

As for your hypothetical scenario about Bill Clinton, let me suggest you have no basis for comparison, first of all, and second of all even with such a base, no grounds fro making the extrapolation you have made as a probable response. Third of all, it is conceivable that if such a course of action had occurred--a well placed cruise missile taking out Saddam pere et fils at a critical moment--the nation would have had a much less bloodthirsty path to reconstruction.

But this is just an example of armwaving hypotheticals being used as a substitute for data. It has no rational bearing on the situation.

As for your question of when it becomes Obama's economy rather than Bush's catastrophe, certainly not in the first 100 days, given the inertial mass of the beast. I don't have a fair answer--I am in no wise an economist. Maybe the right answer is when you get over the offense you felt I perpetrated on you with my long threads on the Bush Administration. You do know the day will come when you have to let go of that upset, don't you?
