Comment of the Day

By RYAN SAGER

Mr. Sager,

I do not completely agree with you on this issue. President Franklin Roosevelt was re-elected three times even though unemployment was very high (especially in 1936) and war was looming (1940). The difference was that his Republican opponents were rightly perceived as far more likely to make matters worse. Even if unemployment is even higher in 2012 than now, a not very unlikely possibility, if the Republicans are still fight every jobs creation bill and against extending unemployment benefits, which also seems pretty likely, then Mr. Obama still has a pretty good shot at re-election.

    That damn davidlosangles is the smartest regular on the True/Slant comments boards. Give the man a blog, already. Better yet- make it a point/counterpoint with andylevenson. You listening, Roston?

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
