Obama has a plan and he will implement it when the economy is not in danger of falling back into recession thanks to draconian cuts.


This actually means his plan is to do nothing for 4 more years....at which point the next recession will be upon us or close to it based on the typical length of the US business cycle.

Except recent business cycles have been based on the credit cycle, which is only now beginning to turn around. Corporations are sitting on trillions of cash, will they will continue to invest as returns are quite high. Since the credit cycle has been particularly long, the natural business cycle will be, too. If the economy falls into a recession, it will most likely be due to some external shock such as the Euro crisis, a Middle East war, or something like that. It will not be due to natural business cycle conditions in the US.

As for Obama's plan, I would assume it's what he was willing to agree to in July 2011, before Boehner pulled the rug out from under him (or rather, before Boehner got the rug pulled out from under him by his own caucus).

Clinton 1996, what is the point of your signature? It seems to be a mix of positive things that Obama is campaigning on, as well as abhorrent things that are sure to be unpopular. If it's supposed to be an attack on Ryan, it sends mixed messages. For instance, I'm no fan of Ryan, but I applaud him for voting the unemployment benefits extension. That makes me think more highly of him.
