Not that I don't think our education system is all tha great but by what standard are we considering it a failure? What are we measuring against?
From -6% growth to +3% growth in a year and a half.. Health reform, campaign finance reform, finance reform..
What a failure?

Exactly. The growth seems to be an illusion and everything else is wrongheaded.
Oh, just stop.Really U_D?
Orders up 85% now?
But... why do you care what he thinks?Why would I stop?
U_D was convinced that the doom-and-gloomers were partisan hacks ROOTING for America to fail purely for political gain (like in Iraq) and that Obama would have us eating crow. Now we're seeing what blind partisan wishing for success will get us with U_D's unflagging support of the recovery that won't slip into a double-dip recession because everyone knows, Keynes is the man!
He railed against the Bush deficits and then stood up and cheered Obama's corrective deficit spending.
At least WE railed against the Bush-Pelosi stimulus efforts...
In a rare instance of journalists holding the President’s feet to the fire, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has exposed a falsehood in one of President Obama’s recent speeches to Ohio audiences:
President Barack Obama was incorrect Wednesday when, speaking in Columbus, Ohio, he credited the White House-based economic stimulus bill with helping to save a local architecture firm’s jobs, The Plain Dealer has confirmed.
The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has nothing to do with the renovation of a Columbus police station. Obama, however, said that the stimulus helped pay for the renovation, providing work to architects at a small firm that otherwise would have had layoffs.
The money came from a federal grant that was unrelated to the stimulus, according to sources in Ohio and Washington, D.C.
Construction and renovation of police facilities is not a permissible use of stimulus funds unless the project falls under certain circumstances, such as construction of a jail on an Indian reservation, according to guidelines for stimulus grant applications.[...]
Asked about the president’s misstatement, White House spokesman Matt Lehrich told The Plain Dealer, “The President’s trip to Columbus was, in part, to highlight the role that small businesses, like Joe’s, will play in creating jobs in communities across the country. That’s a fact and it’s why he’s been urging Republicans to stop blocking a proposal to cut taxes for small businesses that are looking to grow and hire more workers.”
Well, honestly, it seems you've driven everyone away.Note the dearth of the Liberals element who have gradually left Lit...
He's the last one left...
The LOVED bashing Bush daily, but loath listening to Obama get bashed, so they just went away.
Even the ultra sycophant pinkie has stopped drooling out loud, and though I have Zip on nuke, I'm sure my ankle would have totally healed by now.![]()

Perhaps sheer boredom drove them away.If I could not drive them off the board when Sarah Palin was running for Veep, how could I drive them off when she lost?
The Truth is what they're avoiding because frankly, for example, I resented Pookie demanding, "You Can Do The Math! Preventative care is going to get the indigent out of the emergency room and save us money!" and I'm going to say something about it now that we know it was a LIE!
But they'll be back closer to the election, to once again rail about how ignorant, stupid, greedy, and ugly "Republicans" are...
Is that what it's like inside your head? Ignore someone and they magically go away? My son used to think that too, when he was two.
Most have just tired of the mental equivalent of bashing their head against a wall that is trying to talk to you about well, pretty much anything. You're the flip side of Le Jackass. Supremely confident, ego driven, and just as dead wrong as he is 90% of the time.
Now you're convinced that you're driven off all of those on the left. Do I have to draw another LT parallel?
"Doc, why are you doin' this, anyway?"You still lack reading comprehension.
Byron and I have very different avatars...
I miss Pooks telling us how great the new health care system was going to be. She hasn't been here in a while, probably she got her new bill.
