I enjoy reading this forum, some of you are extremely articulate and very informative. I seldom, if ever post as I cannot keep up with the level of detail some of you possess.

WRT this thread I certainly have an opinion. I have always believed that the economy runs in cycles and to some degree runs its course no matter who is in charge. I have no links to prove this of course, but I do remember saying to my Dad the day after President Obama was elected that he is one of the lucky presidents. What I meant by that, is no matter what he does, the economy has to appear better than it does now and he will get credit for that deserved or not as any president would.

How would things be different if the election cycle was 2006 - 2010 and President Obama was elected in 2006? Would 2008 crash not have happened?
