I have ansered the question. You see, Obama supporters put Obama up on an alter during the campaign and told the world how dam great he was
Once he won, they started to lower expectations
Now as his policies fail - and record amounts of debt are being piled up - the new talking points are either its Bush's fault or it takes time
Either way, Obama and his supporters will admit tax and spend liberalim is a failure. No, they will blame Bush, whine how not enough time was given to Obama, or how not enough moeny was spent
You haven't answered the question.
The answer is: it takes longer than 6 months. It just does; it would have with McCain, and it will with Obama.
You can say "the policies failed" as much as you want - until you're blue in the face. Fact is, if the economy is humming next summer, they didn't fail; they succeeded.
I know you're dreading that possibility, but it's out there. To me, the jury is still out. If by next summer, we're still losing jobs, you can come back here and say "see, I was right," and the Dems will pay for it in the elections, as well.
Until then, a conclusion that anything "failed" is nothing more than hackish bluster.
