And exactly what do you think the Democrats did to cause that? Did
they deregulate the banking industry? No, that was the neocons. Did
they raise taxes? No, the Bush tax cuts remain in force to this day.
Did they deflate the housing bubble? No, bubbles deflate on their
own. Did they waste a trillion dollars (and thousands of lives) in
Iraq? No, that was the neocons again.

Consumer confidence just jumped by the most in four years.

There are signs it is working, but it is really too early to tell.

Typical neocon tactic: repeat your own misinformation until someone
believes it. Have you noticed this isn't working anymore? (Hint:
look at the party controlling the legislative and executive branches.)

If Obama hadn't bailed them out, GM and Chrysler would be in
liquidation now. (And yes, I know the difference between bankruptcy
and liquidation and I choose my words advisedly.)

Whereas Bush took a healthy economy with a budget surplus and put it
in the toilet while giving big tax breaks to his rich friends.
