Thanks to Obama pursuing sound financial and economic policies we will not even remember this moderate recession in a few years time. What frustrates me is that so many people will benefit immensely from these policies, but they will still lament them due to uneducated ideology.

And no, a GD would not be best. The GD was one of the prime movers that put Hitler into power, but on the flip side the GD was by far the prime mover that made the US realize sound economic policy which created the greatest middle class in history and greatest economy in history for decades until the wealthy people got their hold on the Republican Party and tricked the majority of Americans into voting for anti-middle class policies.
