Obama Defies Pessimists as Rising Economy Converges With Stocks

We already know the truth no matter what happens. If the jobs and the economy follow the market and we actually get to a point where we are out of Iraq and Afghanistan and we have a budget surplus, the Republicans are responsible for Bush pushing the surge and laying the foundation for recovery that just took a while to take (in the same way that the Reagan revolution really was the cause of Clinton's success). If the economy stays in the tank, well, then it's all that dumb Obama's fault and those spendy liberals ruining what that rock of financial stability, W, worked so hard to achieve. Either way, it's Democrats blew it or rode on Republican success, so Obama is 100% irrelevant to any recovery (if one happens).
