Here is what I really think: if the old man and momma grizzly had
been elected the country would be in largely the same place that
it is now. The Bush administration began the TARP and the auto
bailouts, and McCain would have continued them as Obama did. This
is one area where most of the economists on the left and the
right were in agreement: the economy is collapsing, we must act
now now now!

No, it wouldn't. Those ill-conceived programs would have gone
through, but the others that followed most certainly would not
have. The UAW wouldn't own GM.

More importantly, we would not have alienated our allies, insulted
Britain, made googlie eyes and passed love notes to our sworn
enemies. We would not be attempting to sacrifice Israel on the
altar of political correctness so that the Islamofascists love our
Maximum Leader.

I'm not defending the auto bailouts or the TARP. I'm saying that
there was a consensus on both sides of the aisle that they were
necessary. McCain would have continued with them, as Obama did,
because of that.

Which allies do you believe the Obama administration has alienated?

Seriously?

Yes. If it's that bad it should be reflected in polls, and should
show lower approval numbers than the previous administration.

I mean "Seriously...you don't believe the Obama administration has
alienated any of our allies?" Are you that deluded or just obtuse?

And FWIW...Obama's approval ratings ARE lower than the previous
administration's.

ratings-compared-to-past-presidents/

Although I fail to see how his ratings with voters has any corollary
to our allies' continuing (or not) their friendly relationship to us.

I agree. Domestic approval ratings are completely irrelevant. I'm not
sure why you posted them.
