Yes, I think Obama should be tougher, and yes I think he needs to speed it up; but this is going to take time. 8 years of crap is not taken care of in a little over a year! Any thoughts?
Typical daily Bush bashing. Lets see here. The congress which controls all the money has been held by democrats since 2006 . From 2006 to know when congress was taken by democrats have things got better or worse for you. If things are better than they were in 2006 vote Democratic, if things are worse vote republican or tea party

No man is an island, Obama simply cannot do this alone as he needs help and support from all political parties in order to try to solve our most vexing problems. However, you have important, influential Republicans, like McCain, calling for all Republicans to boycott all Democrats, and to refuse to reach across the aisle to work on anything together. How is this beneficial to our country? How is this patriotic? It's ironic that those who put so much emphesis on the concept of patriotism would be the same ones refusing to work in a bipartisan manor for the greater good of America. Personally, my biggest issue with the Right wing is the omnipresent and unrelenting hypocrisy that has become so prevelent. This is just my proverbial two cents.

Most of these complainers obviously have bigger problems than what they post about here. Nobody can post to the extent they do with such vitriol and have a happy life. That's the real problem...

Agree with you Cyber Queen; an embaressement X 10 would be an understatement, he has and will so screw us up. Old tiresome, funny, non excuseable, laughable, and will come right back at most of them, and bite them. He is a joke, and the joke will come back in 2012 when we say good by to him. This guy is quite a loser, like him if you wish, but loser he is. And a freaking bully to boot.

The problem is not Obama, Bush or Clinton, the problem is us, the people, the voters. The posts in this forum prove that. How?

Both sides of the aisle are blind to all but their own ideological truths, and disregard what is actually happening around us. It's far easier to lay blame than to take responsibility for our own failures.

We the People, sold our stock to the liars, thieves, scammers and leeches through the elections of ideological delusional truths. We didn't vote out those, on both sides, who sold us out to the lobbyists. We kept lying to ourselves saying, "The Government is corrupt, but not my guy."

When more people voted on American Idol than for the president this last election cycle, we are in serious trouble folks. A non-vote is still a vote for the corrupt incumbent.

"Bush did it", "no Obama did it".

Is this any different than 2 five-year-olds saying "he did it." "No he did it," when mom asks them who broke the vase?

Those who we elected into office are laughing at us as they rake in billions in campaign contributions, backroom deals, sweetheart deals, etc. while we squabble like kids over the left-over candy, and drool over the next American Idol or Survivor winners.

Until we clean up our own houses of broken glass, and take a look at the situation with a clear eye, we as a nation will continue down this road of self-destruction.

Only a fool can blame the president, any president for all the wrongs. He is but 1 part of the huge machine. Blame should first start with those who elected him and our reps. Second we need to blame the party hardliners who refuse to judge their own candidates equally.
Nothing is all Obama's fault, other than his personal behavior.

Which of these things you are blaming on Bush, did the democrats in congress not vote in favor of?

For that matter, during 0bama's brief time as US senator, which of these things did he not vote in favor of?

The people that put leaders into power are the main reason that **** doesn't get done. We're all hypocrites at heart, talking out the side of our mouths, as it were.
