But to really tackle your claim I would need your definition. Maybe, you define prosperity differently. Then I would be in deep water.
I admire your staunch position. Really I do. I still stay with my beliefs that you need to give P-E Obama a chance to fail before you call his presidency a failure. The entire world is sick and tired of Bush and, unlike myself, most people wanted Obama. But I admit, I am no longer a Bush fan, more a Bush tolerater.
I think he has not qualified himself for this position, but now that he has it, I am on board. I would hope that he didn't get elected, just because he is black. That would be a tradegy, for blacks and the world.
My point to you is, stop lobbying against your president until Obama, as POTHUSA has at least deserved it. Otherwise, it just sounds like sour grapes.
