What years does the Obama Years remind you of?

True - He's more like Woodrow Wilson.

How?

They are nothing alike.

There is so much fail in that article I don't know where to begin.

Debt is now 100 percent of the US GDP - guess what - if unemployment bounces up again (it's back up above 9 again), the Democrat party is finished for a generation.

I had a great job in the Bush years. Then the BO years rolled around - and they have stank up the joint. Gas is spiking again - the money that I do have in my pocket is worth less, and I still don't have as good of a job as I had in the Bush era.

Like the good man said - am I better now than I was 4 years ago? Hell no.

The ridiculousness, and historical ignorance of this statement is really astounding. If the GOP was able to recover from the Great Depression, how the hell would this economy devastate the democrats for a generation?

* Democratic, not Democrat.

Hell, the GOP took the burden of the blame just sinking the economy back in 2008......yet two years later they had a rout in the mid-terms.  It is really stupid to suggest the Democrats could be out of power for a generation especially given the demographics are heavily in their favor.

If any party is on it's way to irrelevance it is the GOP not the Democrats.

Last I checked it was Pelosi who was Speaker back in 2008.

Put it this way- the workforce as a percentage of the population is just 1.5 percent higher than in 1955. The workforce as a percentage of the population has declined all the way back to 1983.

So not only has Obama successfully doubled the US debt, he's also successfully pared back most of the gains over the last 20 years.

Sure unemployment is down - but those who are not working continues to increase. The greatest president since WW2 at putting women in kitchens having children is Barack Obama. He's also the greatest president at putting black men and women out of work.

Funny that?

Maybe back in 2008. He's lost 15 points among young people who have born the brunt of his policies which are designed to push marginal workers out of the workforce. These folks aren't going to long forget who was in power when they were struggling.

If any party is on it's way to irrelevance it is the GOP not the Democrats.

1. Who was President in 2008, it sure as hell wasn't Bill Clinton. Look at polling, Bush is the one who gets the burnt of the blame for the economic collapse which had a negative effect on his party and John McCain back 2008. Even if you look at polling today, people still hold Bush responsible for the economic problems they face.

2. How does that explain how the Democrats could be out of power for a generation? Are black people suddenly going to start voting GOP, women as well. Look at the data and stop being delusional. The party is better set for the future then the GOP, whom's coliation may be on it's last legs.

3. Once again, look at the data. Demographics are heavily favoring the Democrats. GOP strong holds like Texas could be swing states by 2020 due to demographic changes and that is only example.
