fair enough..... now what has he done to fix those problems? Spending money doesn't count.
Besides the stimulus, bailouts, etc., which are so partisan I don't think they are worth talking about... nothing. Those things may have helped, they may not have. I don't have the patience to argue about it.
I think it is the system that is screwed up. Decades of greed have begun to take it's toll. Until the underlying issues are resolved, I feel we will be in this pickle for a while.

Well damn fair point. Which he also said over and over again, once Presdient, unemployment would be below the 8% level.
It has steady been at 8.3% not great numbers. Infact inspite what is being said to us, people have been steadily losing jobs since 2008 until now.
The housing market is only faring well in some parts of the Country, and i know some great realtors top notch from around this Country.
I was one for 15 yrs.
There is still too much surplus out there, of REPOS, SHORT SALES, FORECLSORUES, and still going strong in many parts of the Country, with these homes just sitting for sale.
You don't have a good economy, with a bad housingg market, and most people know this.
I think Obama is making slight progress, look at it this way, people reelected George W. for a second term even though he started 2 wars in his first term. This is most definitely an improvement from November 2008, although a small one. Like Clinton stated, no one could resolve these problems in 4 years. Roosevelt had the good luck to have the start of WW2 during the great depression, we do not.
The President doesn't control gas, unemployment was already on the rise before Obama (if you'll recall, the recession actually began before Obama took office), and most of our debt is the result of Bush's 2 wars and tax cuts for the wealthy.
