Barak Hussein Obama will fix it. He was elected to do so.

He does not have a clue how to fix it. A challenge anyone to give me some proof or indication that he does.

I'm going to have to get an Obama coffee mug that has his symbol on one side and change on the other under witch I will write 'MISTA'. I have a feeling it will come in handy.

So have most if not nearly all conservative voices.
If there was an easy solution they would have offered it up and won the election.
So Obama inherits two wars, the worst economy in perhaps 70 years, the chance of Peak Oil for a carbon based economy and a looming medical entitlement that's a steeper hockey stick than even best case Global Warming data...
And he's a failure because it's not all fixed a few weeks into office?
And this is from the same people who stood behind Bush after years of proven mistakes, cronyism and general incompetence.
By what standards are you measuring your leadership?

Bingo! I *know* we'd be having the same exact conversations if McCain had won office. Except we'd also be talking about how he's a terrible speaker and unable to instill any sort of hopeful, "we'll get through it" feelings in anyone. |

I'd like to give it more than 6 weeks to see what happens.
Revisit this thread in August, after 6 full Months. If the economy has not shown any sign of improvement, then I'll start to believe you.
I voted for change, but had no illusions that the positive change would be before March 2nd... we were on a downward slide for more than 5 months, (I know the date b/c we pulled money out of the Market in Oct when the Dow went hit 9,500, in hindsight a smart decision, I wish we had done it at 10500, oh well). To start implying that everything needs to be rosy NOW is asinine...
The 1929 crash took 3 years to bottom out and the return to 1929 levels was 25 years! I know different economy, different times, but the timeline was not weeks or even months. |

American greed in the marketplace took over. Now it has to fix itself if you ask me. |
Why even try.........
