Or, did you actually buy the right wing hype and expect a messiah to snap his fingers and solve all your problems?
Anyway, how many of these threads do you intend to start with the "hope...change...socialism....sarcastic  "...followed by some breaking news that the economy's in the crapper.
Seriously. Enough already. You would never admit to liberal policies actually helping the economy (your mind conditioning has taught you that it is impossible) so what's the point of these threads besides just gloating about the struggles of millions of people?

avoided the depression???? obama doing well??? new policies???
obama is bush on steriods
all obamy has done is FOLLOW BUSH'S STEPS and increase them
bush did a bailout,, obmay does many bailouts
obama keeps the SAME head of the fed
obama makes bush's NY fed head, the treasury head.....go figure that one,,,and a tax cheat to boot
obama keeps the same sec of def
obama still has gitmo open
obama keeps warrentless wiretaps
obama is still in iraq
obama has still kept freetrade,,,same as bush,,,nafta and its subs are the biggest problem of our job losses (nafta passed under the dem controlled congress in Dec of 93, and signed into law by clinton)
obama has kept the clinton/bush policy of CRA
liberal policies helping the economy????
you mean like NAFTA (50 million jobs lost),,, or the CRA (housing bubble anyone),,,,or making illegals legal with amnesty (like the 7 others since 1965 all written by ted kennedy),,,,,bailing out FAILED companies,,,,,or SAYING you will close gitmo (while not even having an idea what to do with the prisoners) and still not getting it done,,,,,or cap and trade which will double most peoples utility bill...............................some help
Republican or liberal,,, both the same,,,bought and paid for
did they bail out the PEOPLE who were underwater with their mortgages.....NO
did they save any jobs......NO (5 million jobs lost in the last year)
have they actually BUILT anything......NOPE
with all the money spent on bailouts of CORPORATIONS, we could have had a solar electric system installed on every single family home in america, and be done with electric companies for the residental american...and it would have created 100's of thousand of construction jobs to install the systems.......did the liberals even THINK about that...NOPE, they just want to pass a 'cap and trade' TAX on everyone, thinking that an additional tax would reduce a carbon footprint..............so much for progressive thought
jobs are still being lost
sales in almost everysector are DOWN (especially automotive down 50% from last year, and down 27% in one month since the C4C program ended)
and the next wave of foreclosures is coming.....not to mention repo's of the C4C cars that people bought and cant afford now that they lost their jobs
we are in for a rough ride, with some ups, but we still have a way to go on the down, before we STABILIZE (and we will sit FLAT for a while before any substantial rise)
