ORIGINAL: Musicmystery You can't remember what you want to discuss from post to post. Star Search doesn't have this much tap dancing. I'm pretty sure you can surmise how a economy in full nose-dive would dampen expectations of a progressive social agenda. You aren't old enough to understand stagflation practically, and this isn't it. No, Muse, it's just that I recall the central core of the conversation, and may refer back to earlier statements - in this case, things you didn't know in '08, when everyone was swept up in the Hope and Change theme. By your comment about they all do it, why then would you consider continuing to support him, if you aren't now embracing this year's Fear and Loathing approach? I'm the (legal) pothead, here. What's your excuse for the short term memory loss? It would be one thing if he had tabled the agenda to focus on the economy, but he didn't. He delegated on health care, and that was it. The things I referenced were not dependent on a robust economy.
