Gas prices will not affect Obama right now, but it might affect the economy if prices remain at 5 bucks or if they go higher. If the economy is affected by gas prices or the situation in Greece, you might see a decline in investments; thus, less jobs are created.

I hope the unemployment rate continues to go down at the current rate. If it does, we might see the DA pass within 2 years....maybe.

Three things to lookout for in 2013:

unemployment rate
potential war with Iran
Composition of congress

Cross your fingers....

Then Dems got slapped out of office in 2010 when no improvements were made on the economy and Obama care was passed. Now, if the economy improves neither side will be credited with the recovery because congress has been in a deadlock for the past 2 years. So what will happen? The composition of congress might not change much but both sides will be more willing to finally deal with the 12 million people living in the shadows.

Trust me, the DA will only pass if the unemployment rate is somewhere near 5%.

The last time we had a surplus, Clinton was president!!!!

He also had a surplus with Monica Lewinsky but that's a different story.
