Those who think differently, must never have heard that Roosevelt, Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton won the presidency during economic downturns. None of them were particuarly good, but they still won. People who lost their jobs, had their pay cut, or worry about it, vote their pocketbooks.
Bush has until next summer to get our jobs and factories back, and to balance our federal budget and balance of trade by then. If he does it, then he probably will get re-elected, if he doesnt, then he probably wont.
I live in Maine and blaming Bush for what is happening to factories here in Maine is like blaming the FAA for road conditions.
The Dems in Maine have spent and taxed heavy industry here into oblivion and blamed the lack of replacement work on the National government.....
Very few industries move here after doing basic research.
Jobs and factories are two different subjects. Jobs are comming back, factories the unions have killed and sent over seas.
What planet do you live on??
