GOTV 2014: President Obama helped save the economy in 2009

[steve2470]

I think we can all remember the fall of 2008 and early 2009. The economy was tanking fast. I think IIRC the economy was losing 700K jobs per month at one point.

Granted, the final stimulus that got passed was inadequate. HOWEVER....that was the fault of the deficit hawks and the Republicans. A $1T stimulus was regarded as simply unthinkable, so we had to settle for less.

Again, give credit where credit is due. The economy was saved. FDR saved capitalism. Obama and we Democrats also saved capitalism.

Democrats are good for the economy. The FUD line is that Republicans can manage the economy better. That's utter bullshit.

GOTV in 2014 !

1. trashing of this "idea" about Democrats winning the midterms in 3...2...1..

They will demand you have to "earn" their votes (as if all the progress made so far is just "crumbs" in their eyes) after having listened to them drone on for month after month endlessly trashing every Democrat and every position they take because they are not Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren...when even THEY support most of what President Obama has done. When people on this board are JUST as supportive of this President as Elizabeth Warren AND Bernie Sanders are....they are called Authoritarian and or Rightwing Trolls etc. It is the epitome of hypocritical!

5. The Republicans are just dying to get their hands on the economy again.

People need to be reminded of what happened the last time they did.
