Yes, in some aspects Obama uses keynesian economics with the stimulus plan, then again Bush did as well. But in other economic aspects, he doesn't and neither did Bush.

Reagan's tax breaks prolonged the recession of the 80's and had to be corrected under H. W. Bush. At that, Reagan increased the FICA tax rate, because he cut taxes too much. The growth rate of the economy under Reagan was one of the lowest in history, let alone what he did to the debt and a housing market that makes todays look like an explosion in growth is still going.

If you feel the Democrats are out of touch with America or Obama - then you explained exactly what's wrong with the GOP. It's not that they don't have a leader, it's all the leaders our completely out of touch with America.

If you don't like the way the Gov runs, operates, whatever... Vote Ron Paul.
