There are many people and significant amounts of evidence questioning all of those positions.
No republicans are not good at governing at a national level.
Both Clinton and Obama have turned around economies that suffered from republican policies.
The Dow was over 15,000, in three and a half years the economy will be singing.

Oh my, have you looked deeply into any of your claims?

Well, on second thought I'm wrong. The idea that Republicans are not good at governing nationally is an opinion. It depends on what is meant by "good." So, lacking a definition, I can't say whether you're right or wrong. You may want to consider Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter as not being "good" as well.
The latest unemployment data is actually the most visible, most disturbing of several recent indicators highlighting the fundamental weakness and instability of the current economy “recovery.”
For starters the U.S. economy created only 88,000 jobs in March — the lowest total in nine months. That’s less than half what analysts were projecting (190,000), less than a third of the previous month’s total (268,000) and well below the 130,000 total needed to keep pace with population growth.
“This is a punch to the gut,” Obama’s former top economic advisor Austan Goolsbee said of the figure. “This is not a good number.”
Of course this sharp drop-off in hiring wasn’t the only bad news contained in the report. A whopping 663,000 Americans dropped out of the workforce in March — plunging the country’s labor participation rate to a 34-year-low of 63.3 percent. By comparison, the labor participation rate was 65.7 percent when U.S. President Barack Obama took office and 67.2 percent when former president George W. Bush took office.
The New York Times delivers some news so grim that it had to cook the headline to hide it: “Median Household Income Down 7.3% Since Start of Recession.”
Well, yes, but as the Times reluctantly admits in the very last paragraph of the story, 5.6 percent of that decline has occurred since the Obama “recovery” began. And median annual household income just fell by 1.1 percent in a single month – February 2013 – after the Obama “recovery” has supposedly been in progress for years. That’s after $6 trillion in deficit spending to “stimulate” the economy, supposedly for the benefit of the average household.
Using inflation-adjusted GDP figures from BEA and business cycle dates from the National Bureau of Economic Research (the organization used by the government to date when recessions and recoveries begin and end), CNSNews.com calculated how much the economy grew in each recovery since 1949, the earliest full recovery period for which BEA data is available.
In three and a half years from the end of the last recession in June 2009 until the fourth quarter of 2012, the economy grew only 7.5 percent, increasing from $12.7 trillion to $13.6 trillion.
The absolute worst post-war recovery lasted just 12 months, from July 1980 to July 1981 when the economy grew just 4.4 percent before falling into recession again until November of 1982.
Obama’s is by far the worst multi-year recovery since World War II, including recoveries of similar lengths that occurred in the 1950’s and 1970’s.
The stock market is not a leading indicator of the economy. Rather, the stock market is a coincident indicator of sentiment towards equities.
Far from being a leading indicator, on an absolute basis the S&P has a perfect track record of peaking right before or just as a recession starts. This is just as one might expect from a gauge of equity sentiment which tends to peak right before a downturn in the economy (with everyone extrapolating good times forever into the future).

Anyway I found this today while I was checking the news. Mike seems to think that this whole Benghazi affair will be the undoing of a tyrannical regime. Well at least their leader. He goes on to say that he doubts that Obama will finish this term.
I done a quick search and found nothing on this story. So if this is a repeat

I have to go to work so I wont be able to respond until lunch. Just wanted to put this out there

Is it your opinion that there is no Republican who would be better than Hillary Clinton? While there is a small chance that this will flush Obama, shouldn't it put an end to Hillary's career?

Then we get stuck with Uncle Joe. That's no bargain either, afaik.
Even worse it will ensure a Republican in the white house next term. On the surface that doesn't sound too bad, but then...did you see who ran last time?? Do you remember? LOL Oh God!
I don't care what party the next Prez is from, Dummycrats or Repubtards. I want someone who is a patriot and will follow the Constitution that they take an oath to uphold.

Huckabee is dredged from the same scum as Obama.

If this were to be true we could end up with Biden as president. Think of the horrors that
would follow.
