    No president has enough power to radically improve the economy. The most they can do is avoid making it worse.

    And Mittler isn't the least bit interested in solving any economic problems.
    If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.

    Yes Presidents have enough power to radically effect the economy. It just takes what he's done a few years to catch up with their effort.

    And you state Mitt isn't interested in solving any economic problems like you actually had sat down with him and he told you that in person. But nothing could be further from the truth. I realize it's election time typo, but that statement is just pure horse dung.

    Can you name any action that any president took in the last 50 years that directly resulted in real growth?

    Mittler has almost an identical economic plan to GWB's, and look where that's got us. Both are as globalist as they come, Pale.

    Pres Reagan cleaned up the mess from Peanut Carter

    and Pres Bush's tax cuts brought the economy back after 9-11

    Horse dung. The economy never came back at all except for the subprime smoke and mirrors scam, which just covered up the mess.

    Your lack of knowledge on the facts is very telling

    Under Pres Peanut, the US had double digit inflation, double digit inflation, and near double digit unemployment. People were paying 20% interest rates on their mortgages. The top tax rate was 70%, and the US was in a deep recession

    Pres Reagan came in, cut taxes, deregulated business, and unleashed the power of the American worker

    Money to the US government DOUBLED to over $1 trillion in his eight years

    The voters rewared him with a 49 state reelection win in 1984

    Now Dems try to say how bad the current economy is, despite our economic growth, a declining annual budget deficit, and increasing worker productivity

    Only 5% of homeowners are late with their monthly payments, and in many cases what causes them to be late with their payments is increased property taxes which are paid out of their escrow account

    Right now, people can refin their ARM's to a fixed rate, and in some cases do it with no closing costs

    All that "deregulating business" meant was that consumers ended up paying more for less.

    Check your facts - which would be something new for you

    Pres Reagan laid the groundwork for the biggest economic expansion in US history

    Funny that was your only point you replied to - shot you down over your post how thr US President can't do anything with the economy

    Reagan tax cuts, Bush tax cuts, which stimulated the economy. And on the other hand, Clinton tax hikes, which stifled the economy.

    I agree Bush is a globalist, almost to the degree of being traitorous. But, you've got to be joking about Romney, I wouldn't lump him in with Bush on his worst day.

    All just blue-sky theorizing. None of these statements can be conclusively proved one way or the other.

    There has to be a reason that the same people who backed Bush are backing Mittler now.
