...but,.. things are different... Iraq war is over,.. Bin Laden is dead,... gays can serve openly,... Obamacare passed,.. the stock market has nearly doubled... job growth for 40 some months instead of losses,... GM has record profits... women get equal pay for equal work... That ain't utopia,.. but it ain't a bad start...
Would any of that have happened if Rmoney was Pres?...
good exercise. let's see; i'd guess...
1)Iraq War over: yes; that was a done deal, everyone knew it would end soon.
2)Bin Laden dead: yes; I don't think Obama did anything different than Bush was doing trying to find him; it just took time. No US president hesitates to give that order. Even Jimmy Carter would have said yes. (well, okay, maybe not carter.....)
3) gays serve openly: not sure. Maybe yes, maybe no. honestly, I don’t care about this issue.
4)Obamacare passed: hell no, but I consider that a good thing. Now, there may have been the beginning of real reform, hard to say, but for sure obamacare would not even be a topic.
5) stock market doubled: sure, why not? As you like to say, stock market is for the rich guys so why wouldn’t it have double under Romney. By the way, why are you touting this as a good thing?...
6) job growth for 40 months: absolutely, only more likely the jobs would be more full time than part time. The job growth numbers obama likes to tout are a joke. Barely keeping up with population growth and with a greater number of people unemployed, I’d wouldn’t be shouting this from the mountain top. his record here is an embarrassment.
7) GM record profits: no. GM would have gone bankrupt and re-emerged as a different company. There would be no Volt for example which would be a good thing. Other companies would have picked up some market share after they went under and some would have been foreign cars for sure. As far as profits, hard to say on this one since I’m not positive of the accounting procedures in place regarding the bailout money they got. I’ve heard a little that bond holders took losses so that loss doesn’t show up in the profits but this is out of my element to comment on for sure.
8) equal pay for women: no, because as liberals still point out, there is still no equal pay. Not sure Obama's done anything in this area. Not sure a president could or should. However, again I’m not sure how equal pay is calculated. Women have children and tend to leave the workplace for longer periods of time which hamper their pay statistics. isn't that a legit reason for the statistics to show lower pay for women?
