This, the indications of housing upturn, the international situation, the Ford profit...etc. are a blow to those who have been wishing for America to crash & burn. How they have been hoping against hope, in their blinkered partisanship, that everything under this administration would fail.

I hope America doesn't crash and burn, Francis, which is precisely why I voted for this administration. Under McCain, it would have been more or less four more years of Bush. And we all know how well those went.
