Of Snake Oil, Puff Balls, and the Need for a Real Jobs Plan From the President

Disagree Rascal.



First, Perot got just under 20% in 1992 during an economic recession that is nowhere near the magnitude of our current one. He got that number because of his opposition to the pending NAFTA and push for policies that would make this country stronger economical­ly.



In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt got 27.4% of the vote, coming in second to Wilson's 41%, as the candidate from the Bull Moose Party.



In other words, if his message resonated with 20% 20 years ago, the number should be much higher in 2012 if the issues Mr. Reich speaks to are championed by a credible 3rd party candidate. History clearly shows it can happen. And I think the times are so unique today that history can surely be made in 2012.



Second, our nation has several explosivel­y bad problems right now and they aren't being addressed. They weren't addressed when Obama had a majority, and I'm sure, based on all of the overwhelmi­ng evidence collected so far (latest: http://bas­elinescena­rio.com/20­11/06/09/t­he-banking­-emperor-h­as-no-clot­hes/), none will be seriously addressed by Obama EVER.



So how is a president that will not directly deal with the actual causes of our core national problems better than anything else? THAT is the issue. "Better" or "worse" isn't relevant. Massive job, home, and health insurance losses will not stop under Obama. If Obama stays in for another term, NOTHING improves.



In other words, there is NO baby in the tub.
