Default Can we ever recover from 8 years of the most inept and duplicitous administration in history, or is it the end?

Of course we'll recover.

America is bigger than one miserable, failed presidency. And the recovery is currently underway, with capable hands at the wheel.

If these first 100+ days are any indicator, I'm not too sure we will ever recover.

Right here.



Teleprompters have been in common use for more than 20 years. Somehow, wingnuts just learned about them in the past four months. Maybe Limbaugh schooled them. And now it's all they can think about.

We may recover, we may not. I have less confidence with Obama at the helm. Key will be the banks and the automotive industries. Unfortunately these are also the areas where it appears Obama is screwing up the most. I think the housing market will never recover in areas like CA and others where the bubble burst. I fear it will have to get much worse before it gets better. Hopefully the devastation brought on by the Democrats and Republicans will wake people up so that they start making intelligent decisions at the ballot box rather than just voting party line. Right now we have the blind leading the blind unfortunately.

Obama seems to be making sure we can never recover for decades with his spending.

Everyone knows that TelePrompters have been used in the past. It is just that we have never had someone so inept, so dependent on them to bring the TelePrompter to the forefront. I guess that is one thing Obama can be credited with, making the TelePrompter so popular yet so dangerous in the hands of an empty head.

Obama's only been in for 3 months and will bverly likely not serve more than one term, maybe even resigning in less than that. The poll is badly worded.
