I have a few more: “I will do anything to keep my job even if I must become a patriot”. “I will continue to get votes from the poor by promising them everything and continue to get campaign money from the rich by pledging to keep both sides away from eachother”. “I will stop complaining about difficult questions posed to me by the media while seeking to have my face on television as often as possible”.

I am and have not been impressed by either of these people,. They have set out to have their own oppinion and agender, To take anything and everything from hard working folks and continue to make having a future to live by more impossible than before,
As for the economy it does not impress me so I think we have an even longer road to travel till we see a bright spot, and It will be a small one at that

The days and months ahead will probably have less to do with resolute politicians and more to do with budget shortfalls.
