    Niall Ferguson was in CNN when the Markets crashed saying "This is greate depression number 2".
    So, he was wrong then... and he is wrong now...for the same reasons.
    Democrat economic strategy and Obamas decisions have been based on a proper understanding of how markets and governements can interact very positively.
    IThe recent Republican blocking actions and the current Republican ticket are not conservative in the proper sense. They are extremely dangerous.

    Atrocious. I wonder why Pres. Obama has "not" delivered to some peoples standards. Hmmm.

    First of all, the very night of Obama's innauguration, some of the GOPers met over dinner that particular evening to plot the demise of our president. Included in the big plot were: Newt Gringrich; Jim DeMint; PAUL RYAN; John Ensign, Bob Corker; Jon Kyl and Foxs Frank Luntz amongst them.

    The next day is when Sen. Kyl went after Tim Geithner. We all remember that.. Yes, that was in the plan. #1. Check off the list.

    Then there was Mitch McConnell who stated, "we are going to make Pres. Obama a one-term president!" Again, for the next four years they have obstructed Pres. Obama in all he has done. Why is it that Weeper Boehner has 157 filibusters sitting in plain site on his desk? Whey do the Stupid party continue to hate, lie, spit upon, shout out, send vicious emails' depictiing our president that something he is quite NOT. Well, there is plenty more of this that is going around.
    The Stupid party continues to this very day to bring this president DOWN. How un American of these politicians! "Oh, yes, let's all diss on Pres. Obama!" "Hey, there guys. WE are going to have another hatefest tomorrow, want to join?". "Did you get the memo on subject matter on what we are going to hat on today?" What shall we plan next?"

    Is this what one would call out that the president " hasn't fulfilled his promises?

    "Oh what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive. W. Shadespeare.

    Funny how you have to search on CNN for this story, they won't put it on the web page for everyone to see. Just another reason CNN is at the bottom of he food chain POS
