Kurt, what are you going to do if Obama doesn't win in 2012? Will you be like the people that still blame Bush for everything, you know how you can't stand that!Do you really think Obama alone is responsible for the debt crisis we find ourselves in?? How bout every President and congress since I don't know 1969 or so?? The debt issue is FAR bigger than such a small thing as a sitting Presidency. It is a systematic, cultural issue with our country sprinkled in with a good portion of overpopulation. If you wish to solely blame Obama's policies for our debt misfortune, go right ahead, but it will not help any of us.
Welcome to the political side of RP. Thick skin prefered but not needed.
Your source is a bit optimistic about making it to 2013 I'd say. We may not last to 2012. If we don't see encouraging news by Fall, it will likely all crumble. The sitting POTUS is usually able to temporarily prop up the economy with creativity to help ensure their reelection and most usually succeed at this. If by the end of Fall, we see no signs of improvement, it would be safe to say the the present POTUS has completely lost control of the economy. That's the yardstick I have used in the past and will use again.

"There are already elements of fragility," he said. "Everybody's kicking the can down the road of too much public and private debt. The can is becoming heavier and heavier, and bigger on debt, and all these problems may come to a head by 2013 at the latest."
