YES........It has been done time and again, and Obama could easily take a couple pages out of historical playbooks and significantly lower unemployment, but doing so would require him to lower taxes, and CUT silly ass subsidies.

AND we know the Obamunists cannot do that. LOWERING taxes, and eliminating handouts would basically alienate 20 percent of his voting base. He'd be a FOOL to do that.

BUT yea.....I think McCain could have had WOULD HAVE kept unemployment from reaching 10%.

* Lower TAXES, or extend the BUSH cuts
* Incentives for Small Businesses
* FREEZE on Gubment Spending

Instead, what did we get from the Obamunists:

* Highest Deficit in history ( 1-2 trillion, depending on who you ask).
* LARGEST tax increase on those over 250K in YEARS.
* Largest growth in GUBMENT Agencies in 30 years.
* 2500 page GARBAGE Health Care Bill.
