That reminds me of a movie that I think had Richard Pryor starring in
it, where he encouraged everyone to write in "None of the above"

or, something like that....

Oh, I'm not. I feel pretty good about the fall elections. I think Bush
has pretty much poisoned the well for any GOP hopeful.

Don't count your chickens yet. I'm a democrat that will most likely vote
republican this year... I'm not the only one I know of either.

6 months, with the economy declining by no more than 1 percent in any
quarter. .."

Then again, isn't this the same thing that Greenspan did the last year
of the Bubba?

What matters, if we have a recession, is the timing. If we are in a
recession just before the election, then it will hurt the Republicans.

If, if, if.................

Don't blow you wad over this Harry.

pretty much poisoned the well for any GOP hopeful. The economy just plain
sucks already.

Democrats are overestimating the attractiveness of Clinton and Obama.

They are going to kill each other on the race to the nomination. It
just remains to see which Republican can pick up the pieces.

Or possibly a third party bid.

Harry, The way I see it, if it sucked already you wouldn't have been
able to afford the new Parker, and there probably wouldn't be a Parker
factory left to build a boat for you to buy anyhow. That's the kind of
stuff that gets a recession close to home.

Like the old saying:

A "recession" is when you lose your job.
A "depression" is when I lose mine.


I'm addressing the political aspects of "recession," not the personal
aspects.
