The economic problems we are in developed over years, if not decades. They will not be solved quickly, regardless of which political party is in charge. If it makes you feel better, criticize Obama all you want. But we are all in this together.

I would agree with the time frame. But, his spending policies have nothing to do with the economy.

BO is your man no doubt. He is my president. But extending the fear to develop power does not put us "...all in this together"

"extending the fear to develop power"

Can you think of another President in recent history who has done this? Your man W based his entire Presidency on the politics of fear.

The sigle most important factor that Barak is doing that is a cut above the past.

He is using 'science' as a basis in his decisions, he is spending money on scientific research and caculated decisions rather than using only his intuition and religious belief.

He is good, and the evil doers that have been raping the system will go down.

The simple fact that you can not see he is doing exactly as those in the past, stops my reply here.

He's doing a damn sight better than his predecessor, that's for sure.

However, there's really no basis for comparison except with Herbert Hoover.

He is doing a splendid job far better than you ever have even a clue or that fuckup who just left the Whitehouse on Jan 20th 2009

Well, to be fair, on the economy and gov spending they both suck(ed)

And, you dont want to compare in reality, cause you know it would make your man look really bad.

Economy sucks without a doubt and not that this is the only indicator of anything by any means, but the Dow has been moving upward every day since the 9th.

Why not give this just a little while longer before going ape shit that the Administration isn't doing a good job?

Agreed.

It is WAY too early to draw any conclusion about Obama's performance w/r/t the economy. He hasn't even been in office for two months yet.

I don't think a President is capable of managing the economy. Affect it, yes. Manage, no. Most Presidents don't really affect much until their budget is proposed and appropriations bills passed, but not this guy. He's already got legislation enacted.

He's doing horribly. Spendulus and Porkulus - the stimulus [sic] bill and the $400 billion and some change pork bill - are both abominations. Horrid pieces of legislation. Made more horrid by coming in the wake of the TARP and the subsequent violation of the misappropriation act using the TARP to bail out GM/CHRYSLER that the preceding Congress with Bush administration concurrence/collusion thrust upon us.

The economic headlines in the year following GWB's inauguration, even prior to his first appropriations bill being enacted, simply scourged the man over his handling of the economy. President Obama has enacted legislation - MAJOR legislation - affecting the economy and is still blaming GWB and his predecessors. With no push back from the Democratic Party's PR arm...er...the media. Compare and contrast that. LMFAO.

He's doing horridly, to answer your query. But he's not managing the economy. He's incapable of doing so, as were all of his predecessors.

Because some people are un-patriotic, hate America, and want it to fail.

I think he is doing well considering the amount of shit he stepped in when he took office.
I might not agree with the bail outs, or much of what’s going on, however I am happy he is doing something and being honest about it. I like the transparency we have. I love the fact that he actually answers questions.


I don’t think there is any easy solution to fix the shit were in right now. So I have no clue what will work or what will not, I also think any one who thinks they have a sure way to fix the problems is full of shit.


My personal hope is we do punish the fuckers who have effected all of our lives because of their greed.
I really hope they get the chair if what they did is not treason I don’t know what is.

What an absurd conclusion. How many presidents are there to compare with? Bush inherited a SURPLUS and left us with the worst recession in decades.

Who was the last president before Obama to have inherited an economic mess of this magnitude?

[Misternatural 0]

I read your material and I am glad that there are people who scrutinize politicians because only then does democracy work....because believe me, if the Obama administration fu*#s this up after placing faith in them ....I will be one of the first in line with a scathing editorial- I just want to make sure you are not posting things just because you take American politics personally.

So far, the pasture is greener, no more pork, we are finally "changing", we are helping the bail outs of those poor people who signed subprime mortgages, government will provide employment to the unemployed, he is increasing taxes on the rich, so the wealth will be spread around.

I think we are doing just great!

I believe the question of this actual thread is how B hussein is managing the economy.

If you have any beef with that, then I suggest you start another threat.

No, he didn't, actually - but you DO get the "it's all Bush's fault" points.

Reagan inheriting Carter's mess. Ronnie was also a great communicator like Bammer. Seems Barack is just now getting the idea that his job isn't to tell people how bad it's going to be, but how he's making it better. That's hope & change I can live with.

Weak, very weak.

There was no record foreclosure rate during Carter's term. There was no loss of 50% in the stock market during Carter's term. No megabanks or mega insurance companies went belly up during Carter's term. Unemployment was 7.8% at the end of Ford's term and 7.2% at the end of Carter's term.

You simply don't like the truth. Obama inherited a mess the like of which hasn't been seen since 1930
