  2. There's no way to know what Obama's approval rating will be, or anything else, nine months from now. Things can change dramatically in a week, a month or nine months. The first President Bush had approval ratings of 80% after Desert Storm. A year later his approval ratings had fallen to under 50%.

    Over 70% of incumbent Presidents get re-elected, but nine months is a long time. Anything can happen.

  3. With Bush 1 the economy was on a downturn and the biggest factor was Ross Perot imo.Without Perot I think Bush gets re elected


    I agree anything can happen but Romney is so flawed things would have to turn catastrophic for him to win imo

    Ok, but before you get upset, don't just look at the percentages! Keep in mind, based on the concept of marginal utility, what he paid was dollar for dollar a LOT less painful than what you paid.

    that is why there should be no income tax and a smaller govt.

    Well, I guess if large numbers of Americans are to be stuck under the table battling each other over scraps, then yeah, make the scraps a bit bigger. :D

    Congratulations on having an excellent year. A 30.6% effective federal income tax rate puts you in the top 1%.
