Moose,
I had to come out of hiding to respond to your take. It's simple, if you are going to focus on the economy as a basis for electing a President get your facts straight. The current economy has been on the upswing for nearly nine years. WHO was the President nine years ago? Check out the facts.
Now, if you choose to make your judgements based on the economy fine. However, the role of the President is not to assure that your bottle is kept full so that your nipple won't go flat. I prefer to make my judgements on our elected officials in this manner; who will most likely uphold the Constitution of the United States and assure it's citizens of continued freedoms to speak, posses, assemble, LIVE (there's a good one, live,) in a manner that they choose, as long is it in not in violation of anothers right, and if it does violate anothers right, to make sure justice is upheld. This is their job.
Now, re-read that last paragraph and if you believe ANY part of it there is only one VIABLE choice in this election. (Key word, viable.) The opposition has demonstrated for nearly eight years their inability to govern in accordance with that philosophy.
In closing, there is a word for those who look to a higher controlling authority for their physical well being, it's called a socialist, wear the title proudly my friend.
