CAMBRIDGE, Maryland (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden told Democratic lawmakers on Friday that he believes their party can regain control of the House of Representatives from the Republicans in the November 6 elections because voters are starting to see the benefits of President Barack Obama's policies.
"I really think we're going to win back the House," Biden told House Democrats at a retreat in Maryland. "I think we will win based purely on the merits of our positions."

Big thanks to Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank and their conies for polarizing Washington, stagnating the economy, corrupting the constitution and inflating the debt to unmanageable levels. You efforts (or lack of) will be recorded in history as the most corrupt and inept government officials to ever hold those offices. The lack of leadership and ideological stubbornness has dragged this country down to its breaking point and virtually destroyed the American culture with political correctness and liberalism crammed down our throats. You will not be missed.

At the end of two terms of the previous Republican President the USA (and the rest of the world) experienced its worst financial crisis for 80 years. There was a drastic crisis of confidence in the banking system which was possibly broke and perhaps shady! General motors was faced with extinction or massive downsizing especially in the USA.
Now the USA has its highest GDP ever, General Motors is the world largest car manufacturer and the balance of payments has improved.
On the Republican side, liberals are amused to see Republican’s chose between an adulterer and an individual who subscribes to a church that many associate with multiple concurrent marriages! Oh the greed!
Meanwhile Osama is gone forever.
