Swing States Get their "Reward"

[barbara]

Of course the unemployment figures look bad right now.... We are in a recession and one that can't be turned around over night.... Or in four years for that matter.
I have a hard time understanding how people can be so partisan that they lose a grip on reality. Everyone wants the economy to improve but no body wants to make the sacrifices it will take to get to a stable economy. Further more, they want a stable economy NOW, forgetting how long it took to dig this hole in the first place.

(sorry, Whell, this rant wasn't directed at you personally, your words just got me started into it....)
