I love how Obama b*tches about the mess left behind when he was the one who wanted the job so badly. For someone who claims he wants to look ahead, he spends way too much time looking behind.

He's not bytching, he's setting the record straight. People are trying to desperately to cast him as the creator of the problems we have. He's trying to fix them and I don't blame him one bit for stating facts..I know, facts get in the way of conservative lies.

The "free market" FAILED and was about to take us into the next great depression. Propping it up was the only choice we had, just like Bush did. I don't like it either, but given the other option, it would probably be best to quit your bellyaching.

I have also seen many unemployed people I know get jobs in the last few weeks from the stimulus and more hopefull that they will be returning to work soon due to more stimulus money on the way.
Ya know...... some people believe everything their corrupt govt tells them.

Do you realize what you print here we can go back to in your and your govt time spans given and laugh and point at you when things are worse? And they will get much worse...you mark my words. Your text will not go away. You are going to get laughed at.

If you think some how in your wildest dreams that this economic depression is going to turn soon then I have to call you something that wil get me in trouble so I wont.

I beg of you to not believe anything your govt tells you. You know deep down in your heart they are lying. They never told the truth in 200 years. Why would they now?

Stimulas money? Yea right. 90% of that went to give raises to the fat cats who ran those companies to the ground. The banks were given all that money to make loans and stimulate the economy. Instead they used it to buy more banks and give million dollar bonuses to their fat cats. There is no humanly way on earth that can help the economy.

That money should have been given to WE THE PEASANTS. It was ours to begin with and was not theirs to give away without our consent.

Pizz on your govt. Bunch of lying ________!!!

He says he's above this pettiness, then it SHOULDN'T matter who is to blame. He keeps reminding people that he wasn't at the scene of the crime and that gets really old.

Energy prices assisted greatly in bringing the world's economy to the edge before and prices are now rising again. I'll count my chickens when all the eggs have hatched.

I agree, some people do.

I however, use information from reliable sources since I work in financial services and it is my job to read information from trade journals and news sources on a daily basis. None of which, include the government.

It's a good thing we arent in a depression then.

Economies go in cycles. It always has and always will. It will rebound. You can quote me on that.

Uh, 90% of the stimulus hasnt even been paid out. Actually, 50% of the stimulus money hasnt even been paid out yet.

It's nice of you to pull figures out of your ass though. Good try.


You say I am going to be laughed at?

Do you have a single reliable source to back up anything you have said?
