Give it time. I see the USA as falling in just a few years.
If it's around I would love to re post, I graded him at an F, He is just a continue of the big FAT LIE, We are all being duped folks.

Lastly, (know I just said two, but I gotta get this in) remember Obama ran as a Liberal.

1. Well, maybe we just need to get the industry off the ground like we did IT and hope for the next thing to come along. We made the mistake of believing that because we built industry it would always be here. The Upper Midwest is still waiting for it to come back. It won't, but we can get a few good years out of green manufacturing and a whole lot more years out of managing green industries and finances.

2. I certainly hope they re-regulate.

Like most candidates, he started at the far left to shore up the base and then moved centrist as the election neared. He wouldn't be making these massive expenditures if it weren't for the economic collapse pre-dating his arrival, so you can't really use this particular period as a barometer.

If he continues to overspend and build and never pays down the debt, then he will fail by liberal policy. But, it seems his plan is to infuse and then balance. That's pretty moderate. Let's hope he does it.

Thank you for your well reasoned argument. I am wiser for it.

I'm not sure how I was duped. He said what he was going to do. I read it in his "blueprint for America" document. Now he is enacting what he said he was going to do.

I'm not sure what else you want out of a president besides someone who agrees with you.

Well said, elston. He deserves an "A" just for signing the Lily Ledbetter Act
ensuring equal pay for equal work for women. You speak for many!

That's been our lot since we dropped our tariffs in '73:
Create an industry then watch ALL the jobs from it go overseas.
It's what has caused this depression, and turned US into a virtual colony of China (as seen through the lens of old Mercantile system.)

Zero chances of Obama overspending. His "big" stimulus package was about 1/3 of what was needed- per Krugman, a centerist, hyped as a lefty, by our corporate news.

F. He is bringing the country down. He hasn't helped anybody but the big Exec's at all the large companies. He has just continued where Bush left off.

An "I" should be his grade. Is it for incomplete, or idiot?
