Happy New Year!!

Filed in Delaware, National by on January 1, 2015

I hope everyone had a safe yet enjoyable evening last night. And now a New Year begins, and I am very optimistic about this year. On a personal and politic level, I have a feeling that this year will be a very good one. Use this as an Open Thread. I will be posting pictures of the Middletown Hummers Parade later, especially the politically themed hummers (and that doesn’t sound clean to me).

    This is a hilarious reminder of just how clueless right wingnuts are: 4 Terrible Things That Were Supposed To Happen By 2015 Because Obama Was Reelected

    1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.
    In March 2012, on the floor of the United States Senate, Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted that if Obama was reelected gas would cost $5.45 per gallon by the start 2015. Lee said that gas prices would rise 5 cents for every month Obama was in office, ultimately reaching $6.60 per gallon.

    2. Unemployment was supposed to be stuck at over 8%
    In September 2012, Mitt Romney predicted that if Obama is reelected “you’re going to see chronic high unemployment continue four years or longer.” At the time, the unemployment rate was 8.1% and had been between 8.1% and 8.3% for the entire year.

    3. The stock market was supposed to crash
    Immediately after Obama won reelection in November 2012, many commenters predicted that the stock market was toast.

    4. The entire U.S. economy was supposed to collapse
    Rush Limbaugh predicted that “the country’s economy is going to collapse if Obama is re-elected.” Limbaugh was confident in his prediction: “There’s no if about this. And it’s gonna be ugly. It’s gonna be gut wrenching, but it will happen.”
    The economic freefall would begin, according to Limbaugh, because “California is going to declare bankruptcy” and Obama would force states like Texas to “bail them out.” California currently has a $4 billion budget surplus.

    It is worth reading the whole thing — but they didn’t account for the oft-repeated claim that Obama was going to confiscate your guns.
