It pains me to say, but President Obama needs for the Democrats to lose the midterm Congressional elections. My reasoning goes like this: At this point in the recession there should be a bit more job growth going on, there isn't. Some of this has to do with Companies just not being sure how this recession thing is going to work out. There's also a large group of Companies led by Conservative Republicans who could hire more, probably alot more, but they don't care for Obama and his policies. This is the 'lets cut taxes' crowd. They have a lot of power when it comes to making the American Economy move.
If you get time- watch CNBC- check out it for a day. Most of the commentators and their guests (Captains of Industry literally), CEO's, Hedge Fund Managers etc., watch these guys and it will tell you why the economy is not doing well. These people want-what-they-want and if they don't get it, there not gonna play ball ,(do any hiring).
A lot of people these days are convinced that rich people are evil, I would say to that: "try to get a job from a poor person". If the Democrats lose the midterms, it will give Obama cover to ignore much of the liberal agenda, that he has in the pipelines right now. Obama needs (just like Clinton did) to move a bit more to the right. It's a damn shame but he needs to throw the 'lets cut taxes' crowd a bone, or they are not going to play ball. If they don't play ball, Obama has no chance, none.
In watching the conservative stock market commentator Larry Kudlow on the Kudlow Report/ CNBC you get the distinct felling this guys are sitting on their hands, very negative about the future, always talking about tax cuts. These people need to be pacified. If Obama/Democrats lose the midterm elections the Republicans will feel like they've knock Obama off his perch, sadly that's all they want. Obama can then- work with the Republican Congress and really do some negotiating and get healthcare, energy and education reformed and not just try to figure out how to tax achievers to pass on to the -less fortunate.
Gardening Tip: Bigger Plants and trees are not better. When choosing a tree to plant in your yard buy a small, sturdy sapling rather than a larger already-trained tree. A young sapling may need a little more training, but it's more likely to survive the transplant and grow into a strong healthy tree.
