Several people were talking about how upset they were with President Obama.

I'm sure you realize that financial experts are not the administration nor are they actually part of the media and that financial experts have occasionally been wrong in the past.The second link you provided is titled, "Obama sees US economy moving from recession to recovery" and neither of these articles confirm your original claim that the media or the administration are saying, "that the recession is over" but you certainly knew that.If it makes a difference to you, I did not vote for the president, I do not support a lot of the policies this administration is implementing but I am willing to give it a chance, because, in the final analysis, that is what we are going to have to do, isn't it?

J. how does a second term President get reelected?

i would much prefer going to a small bank and working direclty with the banker/ vice president who makes the decisions, versus going through a broker.

Interesting question, because not only do I live in a neighborhood with an HOA, I've also been the president for the last two years (and the treasurer for two years before that).

@Rene Brodowsky I have found that lighting, sound, and the possibility of someone being in the house is the best deterrent to theft.

Hey Rene,All depends on personal preference.

To make matters worse, the assessment was so high because the condo association president was inept and allowed the contractor to do the design work for the repairs and didn't get any other bids.  

It is a fact that no sitting president has lost an election while commanding a good economy, and no sitting president has been reelected sitting on a failed economy.
