POLITICS - 2010 Year-End Review

"Gerson and Dionne Define the Year in Politics"
PBS Newshour 12/31/2010

How do I see 2010? Some quotes from the transcript:

MICHAEL GERSON, The Washington Post: "I think it was a year of impatience."

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): Were they right to be impatient?

MICHAEL GERSON: Well, I think so.

First, I do agree with the "year of impatience" evaluation, but TOTALLY DISAGREE with the evaluation "were they right to be impatient."

Sorry my fellow Americans, you live in a REAL WORLD were many, many things cannot be done quickly. Fixing our economy, especially job recovery, is just one of them.

ONE - When our economy is in a hole that was dug for 8yrs of Republican rule, there is NO WAY anyone can dig our economy out in just 2yrs.

TWO - When you have a bad economy, jobs are ALWAYS the last to recover.

To blame ANY party for a slow recovery is NOT being realistic. Putting the party that dug our 8yr economic hole back in power is being blind and dangerous.
