for guy whose avatar seems to like neither party you sure are gung ho for the GOP. And no Obama won't burn. Heck unemployment has fallen 1% in just 4 months. even if it only falsl at half that rate until the election it will be 6.5% by then.
For those that forget history in March 1983 unemployment was 10.3% but it was down 0.5% from it's peak of 10.8% in December 1982 and Reagan was NOT a sure thing for re-election. See a familiar patern here? By Sept 1984 it had fallen to 7.3%( Sept numbers come out in October and are the last before the election ) and Reagan won re-election easily. The unemployment rate ironically wasn't much different than it was in Sept 1980 when it was 7.5%. But it was the effect that people felt things were getting better that helped Reagan.
