So, what'sthe Economic Policy Institute say?

Here is a link from the Economic Policy Institute with a nice graph that compares income from the 1990's to income from 2000 -2007. As Joe Biden so poignantly stated, "Barack was Right, and McCain was wrong!"

About John McCain's VP selection

I think McCain is searching for an early reason why he lost the election. This is the first 'most important decision' that the next president must make. So, McCan't does this?

How does Palin's age, at 44, somehow justify and/or relieve the tensions of voters whom are concerned about his age of 72, when she has absolutely no experience? If anything now his age becomes even more of an issue in the minds of voters because of her lack of knowledge of the global community? How can they pare off, or spin, the experience issue of Barack O8ama when their VP selection does not even know what the Vice President does? In her own words!

Oh, and as for the gender credibility of this choice? There is none; period! Does McCain really believe that Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters will support Palin solely on the basis that she's a woman? The one thing that John McCain missed is the fact that Hillary Clinton was just as qualified as Barack O8ama, and that is why their primary battle was soo-ooo close and grueling.

Yep, his first most important decision, and John McCain blew this one big time. Maybe what they're not telling us is that nobody really wanted this position. For that matter, maybe the repubs are already distancing themselves from this election and planning on rebuilding their party in 2012?

I've said before that that was the reason they wanted Hillary to take the nomination. They all know, especially KKKarl Rove, what a screwed up mess they have made the past eight years. Now they are planning on undermining Barack O8ama's administration allowing him (and the Democrats) to take the wrath of the American people just like Jimmy Carter did in 1976-1980.

I think what we Democrats need to be assessing is who the Republicans are planning on putting up as their candidate in 2012. They seriously are planning on O8ama being a one-term president. The only thing that will alter their plan is if the Democrats can achieve a filibuster proof senate majority. In which case, President O8ama will become an A ONE two term president.
