A landslide for the Republicans?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

8. It is the economy. But Republicans now have some culpability for any economic slowdown.

The American people have never blamed Congress instead of the President for the economy.  You're dreaming if you think that approach is going to work. 


Besodes, you think the American people forget that Obama had 2 years of a super majority in Congress?  By Nov 2012 the UE is going to be >10% and the decifit is going to be around $2T/year.

Economic growth was revised up for Q2, which means for the US to enter a new recession, it would need to drop below 0 in Q3 and Q4. Consumer spending is up and new jobless claims have fallen quite a bit over the past couple of weeks. We'll have to wait and see.

you're lookin the rear view mirror....ECRI looks forward over the next 6-9 months...and just like their indexes in Mar 09 were tracing a textbook pattern before every recovery over the last hundred years, their indicators are now displaying a textbook pattern before every recession over the last 100 years has made.

When they make a call, they make it objectively and without prejudice.

Can we at least get a big LOL at the Republicans cheering, almost salivating, over potential economic catastrophe? What a bunch of assholes! And you call yourselves patriots?

 

if I could have a quarter each time on this forum I've been called an economic cheerleader (by both Dems and Reps) and each time I've been called a gloomster (by both Dems and Reps)....I'd have at least a couple of hundred dollars, though most of the money would be from being called a cheerleader.  I was one of the very few republicans on this board calling for a recovery in April 2009 and I made over $100k off of that call and posted every stock trade I made during that period on this forum,...so please, get to know the person you're talking to and don't be ignorant and accuse me of cheering for a recession.

jcm, I could care less. You have been spamming the board for the past few days with total and unfiltered glee at economic numbers

2003: jmfcst get's called cheerleader for posting ECRI's call fastest expansion since 1983
2008: jmfcst is accused of being a doomster for posting ECRI's call of worse economic decline since Great Depression
2009: jmfcst get's called a cheerleader for posting ECRI's call for imminent recovery
2011: jmfcst is accused of being "gleeful" of double dib for posting ECRI's call for new recession

oh well, I can't win for forwarding winning predictions, so I guess I'll go crawl in a hole (or is it a dip?) and cry 

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Except that you rob yourself of all credibility/objectivity by prefacing your innocent "announcements" with OBAMA DOOMED TO LOSE, REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE IMMINENT.

so, now I can't give political analysis on the 2012 election board?

...whining about jmfcst doesn't change the fact that your Hope and Change guy is a one termer.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Haha, as if one line about your political wet dreams counts as analysis. And again, here we go with your gloating/trolling.

trust me, you're vastly underestimating my ability to gloat and troll.  In fact, calling my recent posts gloating/trolling is quite insulting.  Stick around in the next 13 months and I'll show you a couple of things.
