When I hear the left say that the economy is bad, I always say, well the liberals are in charge in the House and the Senate
I could also say that the rest of western world is not great either and that IMHO is because the saying American sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold is in many ways true. British politicans can pontificate as much as they like but much of our economy is controlled by the US and that is why I think that many of the cable news channel in particular the BBC are taking such an interest in this up coming election. It also is worth noting that much is made of the Presidential election but there are many seats up for election in the House and Senate as well. The dems cannot use the argument that the Presidency will automatically go to them because of the so called low approval ratings of the President and to be fair you hear less about this now because the comparison to congress could then be drawn and then conclude that these seats should go Republican unfortunately that is in most parts unlikely to happen.
