Oh, for doubt you're nothing compared to my own family.
I told them A YEAR ago that Romney would be the GOP nominee, that his primary argument would be he knew how to create jobs, that his personal tax rate would be a major issue in the media, that Obama would win, and furthermore, that the eventual popular vote would be 51-48. They not only didn't believe me, but forgot what I had said.
In late 2008, I told them that the stock market would rebound incredibly in the Obama years such that it would be almost impossible to make a bad bet and that I personally was going to invest my brains out to take advantage of it. Here we are, with the Dow up about 100% (a stupendous increase in less than four years). Again: disbelief, failed memory.
Sometimes I think people have a built-in incapacity for imagining any reality very different from the one they're currently inside of.
