Two days ago, a foreign country (China) nationalized a U.S. bank for the first time in American history, the economic news - from all sources (except the W.H.) - was greater sustained downturn, the number of available jobs (job pool) decreased again and the news came from the Mortgage Bankers Association that resale value of your home just took another hit; but national leadership has deemed that now is the time to debate this issue, so essential to the well-being of all Americans. (Excuse my sarcasm, but does this not seem to be pandering for the sake of distraction?)
God help the land of my birth ....

Carter lost because he was perceived as weak (rightfully IMO) on foreign issues. The Iranian hostage crisis and the way he handled it doomed him.
He also seemed helpless to stem a 13% inflation rate, shrinking emplotment numbers and the worst performing GNP period in 40 years.
People elect on personal perception of long term comfort. Foreign policy can effect that feeling, but the economic performance is closer to home.

Jimmy Carter didn't lose in 1980 because he was unlikable.

"Economists note that the shrinking labor force has masked the true size of the unemployment problem, since people who quit looking for a job are no longer counted as unemployed.
In fact, had the labor force participation rate stayed where it was in June 2009, the jobless rate would be around 11%."
Things not looking so good for the president.
The economy always wins or loses elections.

After 5 years of not getting back to see family and friends, Diana and I are coming to the states for a 2 month stay; mid-May to mid-July. During this time, if we could possibly hook up with any fishies it would rank high as a major thrill on the trip!
We will be in San Jose, California, from May 16 until May 31. Then we spend 5 days in Denver, before arriving at home in central/southwest Ohio, from where we hope to take side trips of a hundred miles or so.
PM me if we might be able to hook up.

One of those people you thought would live forever.
When I heard the news, I thought about the SNL skit when David Spade was Clark's receptionist and he made Jesus (Phil Hartman) wait for the opportunity to meet with Dick.
I will do my best to make it back in this evening.
I sure do miss you guys
