Lets see, 3.3% gdp growth. That means the economy is growing at a solid pace. Unless you guys have your own fuzzy math to measure things.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And the median income has DROPPED since Bush became the president. Its not fuzzy math its REALITY. The economy might be great if you own an oil company but if you are working for a living, not so much. Then again you wingnuts really only care how the WEALTHY are doing and if the rest of the country is suffering you couldnt care less

Money Trail: Lobbyists Gone Wild as Obama Remains Silent

At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where rooms for Democratic VIP’s are now going for $2,000 a night, the executive chef, Andre Jimenez, says even the room welcome gifts need to be elaborate for the 35 top donors and celebrities, including “the rarest peaches in America.”

“It’s only for the best of the best that we host here,” the chef told ABC News.

Yup. Originally the Monopoly game was created to show the evils of a monopoly: (from wiki)
In 1904, a Quaker woman named Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips created a game through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory of Henry George (it was supposed to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies).

But then the neocons also think that Orwell’s 1984 is a How To manual.

When all you’ve got in your quiver are petty arrows, those barbs won’t reach the skin of the American consumer, now wearing a full body cast.

However, even that won’t last that much longer (as the construction industry is finding out). Eventually, there will be no more money that can be squeezed out of the lower classes, and profits will fall.

There are some who see our economic system as a giant game of Monopoly, where the object is to get all the money, property, and anything of value in the game. What these people don’t realize is that in Monopoly, when you’ve won, everybody else is bankrupt, and there’s nobody to get money from anymore.

If you’ll forgive a slightly dated metaphor, Rove is in the middle of “jumping the shark” right now. Wow I hope I’m right. This guy needs to be in jail, off the news, barred from practicing politics.

Or is it just the contrast between Boy George or McSame when compared to a true leader like Obama?

Obama is not only smart and educated, he is inspirational. Exactly what you should want in a leader. We have had 8 years of a stumbling, bumbling, lying bastard, we don’t need another four. Or two, if McThusela’s body continues to rot at its current pace.

Well, they had both… there were also Greek columns at the back of the stage in NYC in 2004, technically they were ‘Freedom Columns’ though…
