Hound, the last part was definitely an opinion piece and while I agree getting rid of Obama will not be a perfect solution I can't imagine any GOP president that would have resided over trillion dollar plus deficits. And I know the current GOP controlled House would not either. Having said that, it is speculation on my part and something we will not know for sure until it happens. But its a chance I am willing to take and I hope the GOP puts forward a viable alternative to another four years of Obama. As it currently stands, absent some other cataclysmic event it appears that the GOP will also control the Senate after 2012. Obviously not a sure bet but the Cook Political Report and others have gone so far as to say it is nearly a done deal. I am not that brash but it certainly looks likely.

Just to be clear on my point, I did not intend to imply it was all wrong. But it does give me a lot of pause when I see one point in his presentation that I think is very deceptive. The fact is that the difference in the base price that we pay for gasoline is only slightly lower than in Europe which tells me the basic thesis of that point is just wrong and for a guy who reminds us what a financial genius he is on multiple occasions it is disturbing at least. Are other claims likewise off base? Maybe, maybe not. I downloaded the text of the message to a word file and will look at it more closely.

Of course, being my usual skeptical self I tend to have a jaded view toward anyone that is using fear to sell a product. Just my nature I guess......
