Reply #57: Why isn't it EXACTLY the correct measure? Why isn't your measure totally wrong? [View All]

Let's assume for a second that you are correct. (You are not correct at all, but let's assume you are for the sake of argument.) Let's say Obama didn't reverse most of what Bush did.

But what if the alternative is to reverse all of what LBJ did, and much of what FDR did? What if the alternative makes Bush himself look like LBJ or FDR, in relative terms?

In that case, in terms of making a choice between voting for Obama or the alternative (the only two candidates that have a chance at winning), the only thing that matters is which is better. Any other metric is pointless naval gazing.
