I don't doubt it, Babe. I count on it. I'm just not sure the economy can rebound in time for the 2012 election. The DOW is up, which is great. But small, service-oriented businesses (restaurants, beauty salons, pretty much anything considered a small luxury by most people) are especially driven by the economy, and they'll surely be the last to rebound. I hope I'm wrong.

I'll be honest, my wife and I haven't been as affected by this economy as some others, but we still live in a very blue collar area, and I hear the desperation and anger every day. The truth is, at this point, Obama has lost a lot of his support. Whether or not he can garner it again will determine what happens in 2012.

Again, "it's the economy, stupid" .
