- BS ... 1/ At least once every year for twelve years as I waited in the check out line at the supermarket I would spot one of the National Enquirer type magazines displayed beside the check out line with the heading "Bob Hope Is Near Death". And finally after twelve years when Hope hit 100 or so, the headline proved to be correct. So yes, eventually you will be right that there will be some measure of recovery in the US economy. But it will be in spite of Obama's policies not because of them and it will be the weakest and most erratic recovery in modern US history.

2/ In fact, generally by now there is already a very strong recovery in place. I suggest you read your history of the nine recoveries since WWII and you will find that although Obama has pissed away more trillions of dollars than was spent on all eight previous recoveries combined, this so called recovery is by far the weakest in every single important economic indicator. So Obama has sepnt the most to achierve the least. Here is yet another indicator of the kind of economic "recovery" BO has fashioned:

3/ You are correct on this one point and in my defense I can only argue that from the first day I came here I was the subject of the most unrelentingly obsessive and insulting and viscious and personal attacks on anyone here by a large number of members of the left wing lunatic fringe. It got so bad it reminded me of when in the 1980s I would attend Blue Jays-Yankees games at the old CNE stadium and the most moronic fans would loudly boo Reggie Jackson during entire games. They, of course, were untalented, mediocrity- worshipping losers and Jackson was a talented winner and future Hall of Famer. I met Reggie once in the main bar at the now defunct Westbury Hotel and asked him fi he minded the constant booing. Reggie - whom I found to be the most intelligent athlete I ever met second only to Ted Williams the real Teddy Ballgame - said that it used to bother him but over time he came to realize that it was actually a compliment to his talent and to the threat his hitting posed to the home team. "When they stop booing me," said Reggie, "I'll know its time to retire." Anyhow, I am not the type to take unwarranted and bootless and mindless and viscious attacks lying down so I have responded in kind. Lately, the attacks have somewhat subsided and I have somewhat tempered my temper and my response. This trend on both sides of the political divide will, I hope, continue. But if it doesn't, I shall retaliate by giving even more than I get.

"BS?" Now that is a devastating comeback. I'm not sure how to handle that. As I said - time will tell who is right. But if you want a closer prediction I believe that the US recovery is already underway. If I am wrong you will quickly be proved right as soon as the recent numbers flatten out. If I am right the unemployment rate will continue to drop. Is that close enough in time for you? If it isn't I don't know how to improve upon it.
