Not really. It wasn't great - but it wasn't this either.
Obama has been a negative to this point. He has not made America better.
Even with the latest roller coaster ride, the market has recovered a lot.
Jobs instead of being lost are being added. I didn't say fast enough but adding is better than losing like we were.
I don't think Obama has been a negative.... enough of a positive? We can talk.
I don't think only spending cuts and tax reductions are the answer.
I'd like to see the Bush cuts go away.... even if it's for everyone. But I would prefer to see it gone for those above $250,00 adjusted gross income. I think that revenue could be used to fund projects which employ people in the private sector and maybe even be used to keep some of the public employees that have been laid off.
The private sector isn't investing in things that will increase employment....
They all suck, they all INHERIT crap from the previous president, they can never get it right, They always need anohter 4 years, then the next president will have to un do the mess all over again.
We have been having government since the 1600's, it is the year 2011, our Country should be flourishng and we are in a mess. This should tell us that our leaders are NOT doing a good job...
and a good way to strat is to close out doors and stop letting all these immigrants come here and mooch off our welfare system......

Agreed. Protect our borders, eliminate all forms of wellfare, (with exception to the sick and elderly) drug test anyone collecting foodstamps. and cut unemployment benefits down to 90 days. All of this should force freeloaders, wellfare queens, and the lazy and unproductive people in America in general to contribute, or find another place to live. This may sound extreme and harsh, but the reality is that entitlements have created this monster, thus harsh measures need to be taken.

^^^All are necessary.^^^
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Kick out the illegals first, then proceed with the rest.
Well he did lead the Illinois Senate and he did a decent job there from what I have heard but leading the Illinois Senate and the USA are totally different things. I thought that he would be better than he has turned out to be.
You have got to be kidding or wholly ignorant of which you write.
Lead the IL Senate??? Really
This gutless pissant of a President, when a member of the IL Senate voted "Present" almost 150 time. Most legislators never find the need to absent themselves from casting a meaninful ballot in their entire career, but this pissant did so well over 100 tmes in less than a full term.
How pathetic can one politician get? And his absolute inabliity to "take ownership" of his role in that body has carried over to his grotesquely-pathetic "non-performance" as POTUS.
Obama is an abject disgrace to America, our form of government, and, yes, even the Democrat party for whom disgrace is SOP.
Well, most of it happens to be true. Should he claim responsibility for the housing bubble, or the Iraq War, or the Bush tax cuts, or the debt in Greece? Of course not, and no single president can fix such things.
He needs foremost to tell the truth the American people.
EVERY PRESIDENT has inherited problems in the past, yet they faced their problems and dealt with them, as a leader should.
Obama, given the fact that he has failed to solve any problems, can only assign blame. It appears as though he really thinks that he, as president, should have inherited a perfect world.
Bush inherited the "dot com" bubble burst and a recession from Clinton. Bush was saddled with 9/11 early in his presidency. However, despite all the criticism from liberals, he actually faced the problems and did not whine like a child.
We need a president and a leader, not a whining child.

Obama knew of all the problems BEFORE he ran for office. Remember, he ran for US (ha ha ha), to make ''change we could believe in''. His Mantra was YES WE CAN!!!
HE said he could do it.
You are not suggesting that he either lied, or didn't know what he was talking about, are you?????????

I'll agree with some of you say here but his blaming congress for the AA rating dropping is pure political BS. He's trying to position himself as above it all like usual.
Plus the healthcare bill rammed down the throat of Americans, unless of course you got an exemption, has done more to stifle jobs than anything he's mentioning. Hopefully the supremes throw the whole thing in the garbage where it belongs.
