...than Obama, seeing as he inherited a complete DISASTER. People think you can do a 180 overnight, make the country perfect, when it took years to destroy.

You are confusing the financial meltdown/stimulus and the Obama Agenda. The two are mutually exclusive, although one could argue that "never wasting a good crisis" is in fact viewed by this Administration as a Golden Ticket to convince the populace that his Agenda is the answer to the country's ills. We'll see about that come 2010.

We're not looking for a 360 overnight. We're asking not to be lied to. We're asking for policies that make sense and won't lead the country down the same path it's on.

Yes, many people could do a better job.

You just looking to vent? Or did you have anything of actual substance to offer?

I agree with AeroGuy. Plus, running your campaign platform on ideas and looking forward and moving ahead, all the while looking behind by blaming the previous administration when you either run into opposition or your policies suck doesn't a strong President make. It makes him look small and petty, and quite frankly, immature. I don't recall Reagan blaming Carter for the mess he took over, and continuing to throw it in his face. He didn't apologize for America either. He told Americans they were great, and we needed to hear that after 4 years of the misery index = Carter.

Much to my chagrin, George W. Bush didn’t blame Clinton for the recession he inherited either.

Nor did he once point the finger at Clinton for the roadblocks between the FBI and the CIA that happened during the Clinton years that ultimately led to 9/11.

Not everyone can be both a president and a crybaby. The one we have now is showing the world how to do it.

No, I would not. So many think they could, or would, but I truly, truly doubt it. Managing a softball team or some workplace team is nowhere near the scale of this country.

Ya know...I used to actually think Obama was pretty smart. He didn't say anything when he talked while campaigning, but he seemed like a pretty sharp dude (well spoken even if he didn't say anything, likeable, etc.). Then...he went and surrounded himself with a bunch of retards after saying that we could judge him by who he surrounds himself with. So...I am.
