Wow! :eek:

Let's hope Obama follows every other Democratic President and puts up some green numbers!

I would like nothing more, however, our GDP has been very low and the President has already skewed his potential......and, the Dems are in full control. :shock: Anything can happen over the next couple of years, though. Let's wait and see.....not let's hope and change. I actually hope for a little bit of pocket change these days.

His first term numbers will likely be the worst in that whole list. It's all relative to where the debt and gdp start and end on the day they take office and the term ends.

At this point I don't think he'll WANT to be reelected.

Seriously though - does he have any chance of hitting 15% or lower?

Barring a miracle, it'll be around 30%. That's based on his own budget team's projections. He should consider himself lucky, Bush took on about 10% in the last six months of his last term.

20% under Bush does seem tough to beat, but I guess if GDP remains low/slow to grow, a higher percentage is inevitable. There are only so many cycles remaining in his term.

Well, the real payoff for President comes afterwards. Bill Clinton made > $100,000,000.00 since he left office.
