re: #46 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Did you look at them and tell them that you didn’t want to hear that “wanting Obama to fail does not mean wanting America to fail” bullshit ever again?

Their argument is that Obama is a greater threat should he win a second term, supplemented by the argument that a second recession (falling off the brink) is a low-odds risk.

In other words, they believe the options area low short-term gain and low risk against large long-term loss. Pay now, or pay later.

What I’ve not been able to drag from them is the outline of the large long-term loss. I get the “intuitively obvious to the casual observer” response instead.
