To those of you who make up a hefty portion of the population, here's my idea. Click your heels three times and repeat: "There's no place like home!" Suddenly, your head will begin to spin and you will find yourself in a timewarp as Munchkins disguised as Senators dance and sing down the yellow brick road that once led to prosperity.
Once you arrive in the America before 2008, you will find unemployment at 8%; the price of gas below $3.00 a gallon, your 401k is restored, and Obamacare gone. We were not happy with the President, but little did we realize that thing could get worse. Those of you with a 4 Oh well, it's a dream, but if you vote Republican this time, it's all the hope we have.
Dorthy says, "I dreamed you were there, and you, and you!"
Auntie Em, "Oh Dorthy, you hit your head pretty hard! It was all a terrible dream."

Frank Morgan would have made a helluva President, don't you think? At least when Toto pulled the curtain back he owned up to the fraud. O is still insisting we pay no attention to the Communist behind the curtain in his palace in the Enema City.
I dunno though I think a better analogy for O would be the Wicked Witch of the (Far) East (aka Indonesia) at the beginning of the movie, who gets crushed by the house of cards he had built after it was tempest tossed by a Tea party-induced Tornado in the 2012 election.
Or he could be the WW of the West, sending out an army of union thugs to kick the straw out of the non-unionized American middle class, until, while figuratively playing with fire by having a Congresswoman with the ironic name of Waters tell the Tea party travellers to go to Hell rather than Oz, Dorothy, played by Sarah Palin, throws a bucket of Constitution on him and he shrivels away, leaving only a pile of black clothes and a teleprompter.
The economy actually grew for most of Obama's term. Most economists who studied the stimulus package, including the CBO, believe that the stimulus made things better than they might have been. The present problems are a global economy thing. Unfortunately the US economy doesn't exist in a vacuum. What's going on in the Eurozone is the primary cause.
