Guess the messiah can fix everything can't he?

Guess not. That glass ceiling has just completely caved in on Obama's watch.

By the way, have you checked the gas prices since the village idiot bowed down to the saudi prince? Maybe he bowed down to him and told him to raise those prices on Americans because it has gone up ever since he kissed the princes arse.
Sorry ... but Obama INHERITED this economic mess.

That is the ONE thing you Republicans love to forget!

And Obama has stated REPEATEDLY that things would get worse before they get better.

Obama on the Economy: "Things Are Going to Get Worse Before They Get Better"

By Anne E. Kornblut
President-elect Barack Obama warned in an interview aired Sunday that "things are going to get worse before they get better" with the economy, but he continued to portray the crisis as an opportunity to rebuild the country, both structurally and culturally.
So when the economic crisis does EXACTLY as Obama predicted ... you still try to blame Obama for it ???

Maybe you and your fellow Republicans need to look into a mirror ... and start blaming yourselves for voting for the IDIOT who actually CREATED this economic mess !!!

So giving Millions to GM and Chrysler only to have go bankrupt is okay. Sorry but saying things are going to get worse doesn't mean you can give money that makes things worse and it is okay. President Bus just like President Obama screwed up in giving the auto companies the money, only to have them fail and the unions show their greed.

It doesnt matter if $0 has been spent, to pretend it does completely ignores Obamas own figures who claims that, if this passes, unemployment levels will not be anywhere near what they are. Sorry, you cant make excuses for him if he got everything he asked for but the results are not as expected because he hasnt spent it fast enough..

Sorry ... but there is no "magical" answer to solving this economic crisis, and there are bound to be mistakes made along the way.

You are kidding right. He is already significantly off on his unemployment projection projections based on the stimulus.

His policies are making it much worse.

He intends to increase employment in the government sector, not in the private sector.
At the rate the progressives have been going it won't be long before every job is a government job. I have been fooled with the rapidity with which they have pushed us toward socialism.

The worst part of it all is that the House is passing progressive bills that we never hear about until the Senate fails to pass them along. It is a shame that they are so close to the 60 that is needed to go hog wild.

Well you Obama followers go ahead and wait 6 more months to see if his promises hold true.
It's been a few months already and we're going in the wrong direction.

Inherited my a**.

YOUR loonies in congress have had TOTAL control of our country for 2 1/2 years, things were just fine until they took over and you know it.

So, the total blame is on Obama and your liberal congress.

Remember, this is OBAMA's WATCH.

We did not ask him to spend us in the next century and all for nothing.

Sure, it will get worse before it gets better, so when it gets better we can give credit to Bush then right?

So anything that happens will be Obamas plus and anything bad is Bushs negative. So I get it. You people cannot handle the fact he has been a total disaster so far.

With total control of our county like the libs have right now, anything can be done. Yet, we are going backwards.


Obamas watch, liberals control congress, what more do you want?
