Even if Romney won, and the jobless rate went down to 7 percent or so in his first year it would be as a result of Obama's policies. The whole world economy is down right now, especially Europe, so things are tough all over. Probably better here than in Europe.
I think people will trust Obama more. I just do not get a Romney vibe out here but hey it is California. Four months out and Romney still cannot put out a clear policy statement other than parrot Tea Party nonsense about austerity.

If Obama starts looking like he has half a chance to win this election, I intend to invest more heavily in the firearms and ammunition manufacturers.
I did very well 4 years ago with that strategy
And the National Rifle Association Awarded Mr. Obama Firearms Salesman of the Year, as well as Ammunition Salesman of the Year.
If he gains in the polls a little, I'm buying Guns $ Ammo
Who says that Obama doesn't know how to stimulate the economy

Actually, we are way past that point, as I am certain you have noticed.

The money retained by corporations as a result of tax cuts (as well as that retained via the loopholes that allow Exxon to pay no tax and GE to get a refund) goes where they believe it will earn the greatest return. That might be in hiring additional workers but they won't be hired here as long as our tariff and taxation regimes incentivize moving operations offshore or outsourcing to existing foreign corporations.

You can't have it both ways. Biden called last summer the "Summer of Recovery", given that economists had identified the end of the recession, based on economic indicators and definitions, as the economy was sustaining consecutive months of modest economic growth. Unemployment, according to Obama's policy experts, was to have been receding below 8% already by 2010.
So, you want to suggest that if unemployment falls below 8% in 2013, 3 years after Obama's policies were supposed to bring unemployment below 8%, it would be because of the Obama's policies? Not likely.

Now, this makes sense to me; Making money off of the heavily fearmongered redneck demographic. Smart move, Bill. You have shown me that such people have a useful purpose after all. I see the Republicans have been successfully exploiting those tools for decades. Maybe I should join them?
I might vote for Obama again and do the same.
Hey! Then after we've made our fortunes, we could start a war and convince them that it's their patriotic duty to God and Country to go fight it for us, as we move millions into defense related stocks? I'm surprised no one has thought of that before.....
Or have they?

My dear Bill, Buying one worn out AR15 and having it converted with a cheap commie Chinese full auto upgtade does not an investment make.

You have the idea now Dave,
But first you have to buy low and sell high !
We'll have to wait until peace time, when the stocks of the weapon makers are low, then start a war, and sell to both sides to really make a "killing"
Buying Firearms and Ammunition stocks now may be chancy, but if Obama makes a surge, or if Romney falls, you better buy fast.....
Then we can go out and buy our own Representative or two, that's where the real money is

Be sure to kill every brainless zombie that you find.
Perhaps you could start "in house?"
