Only FDR inherited a mess nearly as bad as the one Bush left Obama.

That's the problem... the wrong person quit!

Also, Palin had the option to resign if she wanted to. Better than being impeached like a certain ex-president was.

Obama is a limp-wristed leftist pacifist. Are you going to explain why he voted "present" so many times?

lol, typical Dem response.

Spend, spend, spend, and just keep blaming the economy on the last Republican president.

Its widely accepted that everything FDR did only lengthened the Great Depression.

Obama's already DOUBLED the national deficit. Unemployment is the highest its been in 20 years. And when his masters force him to pass the cap and trade bill, the American economy will COLLAPSE.

It is going to take time to turn the economy around. More than TWO MILLION jobs were lost in Bush's last 3 months in office. No one is going to turn job losses in excess of 2 million over a 3 month period and turn it into job gains overnight. Its going to take time.

isn't that what the trillion in bailouts were for?


If Obama wants to fix the economy, he'll lower taxes on small business. Giving billions to his biggest campaign contributors won't do anything. But he can't lower taxes, because he's already doubled the deficit.

Way to go, Messiah.

It was done to stop the immense job loss, which it did. More than 2 million jobs were lost in the three months prior to him taken office. We are no longer seeing job losses in excess of 600,000 and 700,000 per month. The job losses have declined in each of the past 5 months. October was the best jobs report in 21 months, November was the best jobs report in 23 months.
