I think Obama went as quickly as he could. They did not want to ****
this up so they built a mock up of the compound and trained for months
to get it right.,

I really think the populace will have forgotten about this by 3q12
anyway. There will be dozens of things that went through the news
cycle by then. The election is still going to come down to mundane
things like gas prices, unemployment and I bet inflation will have
showed it's ugly head by then. Obama's biggest fear is going to be the
recurrence of the terms "malaise" and "stagflation".

Really? His biggest fear? There's no indication of either of those
things.

There is no indication of inflation???
Do you go to the grocery store or a gas station? Have you paid any
"fuel surcharges" lately? The falling dollar is going to make that a
lot worse since we import most of our hard goods these days.
As for malaise, have you read any of Bob's posts. That is one
depressed man.

Maybe he read the Daily Beast article about the worst 10 college
degrees you can seek, based on what you can expect to earn.
"Chemistry" is #9.
It was in Newsweek this week (the one with the royals on the cover)

Aside from gas prices, nothing much is happening, and even those are
likely temporary. Of course, for you, the sky is continually falling.
I hope you haven't made any plans for after May 21st.

Now you're claiming that because one person complains, therefore,
there is a general malaise. Whatever.

I guess your maid does all the shopping for you. Maybe you should go
to the store and compare prices to what they were a year or so ago.

Have you looked at the spot price of corn lately. That is not just
corn on the cob, corn is in just about everything you eat. (animal
feed, starch or high fructose corn syrup)
Of course the ethanol fuel program is part of that increase but corn
flakes are still $4 a box.

.

I guess you've got to worry about something, so it might as well be
the imaginary inflation rather than the imaginary financial meltdown
scheduled for tomorrow or the imaginary end of the world scheduled for
the 21st.
