Whomever is in charge when things get dramatically better will get to take the credit.

"It's impossible for Obama to fix the problem,"

He has made it worse. Businesses won't expand because of unknown taxes and healthcare costs. Business owners here have said that very thing.

He has also made it worse by adding $5 trillion to the debt. Some of that was for things he had no say in, but not all of it.

He has also made things worse by choosing to vote "present" on fixing medicare and social security.

If Obama, as POTUS, doesn't have the ability to fix the economy, what was the purpose of teh GM bailout again? I mean tha stated purpose. The "real" purpose was to buy union votes, but the stated purpose, at least, was to save and fix the company.
