    Now if you were in the oil and gas sector you might be pleased. I know I am. But if I hated Obama the way you do, I guess I'd have to put some kind of negative spin on my profits. Not easy to do. So how would you spin it, if you had profitable work I mean?

    I'm sure you've been asked before but I don't recall the answer. With you being a big believer in man made global warming and CO2/fossil fuels = bad how do you reconcile profiting from the very industry supposedly responsible for so much of the warming?

    So Ricter is it me or the question you're ignoring?

    Maybe Ricter doesn't want to have to face an "inconvenient truth".

    Reagan also tripled the national debt to achieve that job growth.

    "Since 1900, Democratic presidents have produced a 12.3 percent annual total return on the S&P 500, but Republicans only an 8 percent return. In 2000, the Stock Trader's Almanac, which slices and dices Wall Street performance figures like baseball stats, came up with nearly the same numbers (13.4 percent versus 8.1 percent) by measuring Dow price appreciation. (Most of the 20th century's bear markets, incidentally, have been Republican bear markets: the Crash of '29, the early '70s oil shock, the '87 correction, and the current stall occurred under GOP presidents"

    Would you like the updated version from 2004 to now that makes the difference even greater?
