It is, even with unemployment, more foreclosures, short sales and bank owned properties then ever before, speending way down, it is gloomy, you know something i don't know.
OK folks the poster is on record, this is officially Obama's economy. Anything from this point on cannot be blamed on Bush, Reagan, Abe Lincoln or any other Republican.
That deficit the right is suddenly worried about and misplacing blame for (they can't count), is significantly impacted by:
anybody still trying to blame Bush is seriously ****ing delusional.
More than 2 million jobs were lost in the 3 months prior to Obama taken office. Any turnaround was going to take a bit of time, no one is going to be able to turn a 2 million + 3 month job loss around overnight.

Overnight? Oh, you mean almost a year ago?
And whats he been so busy doing in the meantime?
- He managed to give hundreds of billions of dollars to all his political contributors (Goldman Sachs, BoA, AIG)
- Gitmo is still open
- 30,000 more to Afghanistan
- No healthcare bill
- And now he's in Copenhagen, working to tax carbon emissions. That way, the average American consumer can not only lose their job and their house, but also pay thousands more for energy.

Yes, almost a year ago it takes time to turn around an economy when over 2 millions jobs are being lost in a 3 month period. When you are seeing job losses that extreme it will take awhile for jobs to pick back up. The amount of job loss will steadily decline (which it has for 5 months in a row) and then you will see the market picking pack up.
Those bank bailouts were given in October 08. He is working on closing down Gitmo.
The decision in Afghanistan was a good one, and one that wouldn't have needed to be made if we didn't put Afghanistan on the back burner 7 years ago to go into Iraq.
No healthcare bill is a result of filibuster.
