I'm talking plan, not Rick Perry style rhetoric....

So are you now admitting that Obama was all rhetoric when he ran? Why don't you come up with a defense of O, rather than try to smear someone from the other party who hasn't even had a chance to improve things? It's a little tiresome to see O's supporters still trying to bash the other side to deflect blame instead of admitting that maybe he isn't quite living up to expectations.

I'm disappointed in many things Obama has done. Lybia, for instance. Extending the Bush Tax cuts for another example. Would the economy be any better under McCain Palin? I don't think so.

I was responding to a generic joke that the US economy will magically turn around when Obama doesn't get re-elected and wanted to know who from the other side (since it was clearly not a joke coming from a leftist position) has presented. If I had left Rick perry out (Who, as Scarborough said, is just running around doing a bad 1999 era GWB impersonation anyways) would the context have been less of a smear?

As an independent, someone like Huntsman has some appeal to me, but I want to hear what any of them, will do to improve the economy.
