He will never be able to find a solution because then he would have to feed the rest of the porkulus money into where it should have gone in the first place, the private sector to really create jobs. In order to do that, he would have to completely give up his ideological beliefs..which he will never do. So get ready for more porkulus and big government solutions. Until we can kick their butts out next year, we will just have to hold our heads and take plenty of aspirin.
obama has put his effort into bailing out 5 international banks at the expense of everything else. this is NOT going to turn the economy around!
instead, this government is trying to HIDE the losses and this will not work, as they are trying to build on a shifting house of sand! we have thrown billions of dollars away just on the bankruptcy of CIT group alone!!!
if any of this was working, we would not have to extend unemployment benefits, increase food stamp allowances, renew the housing credit, bail out GMAC again, bail out GM again (it is coming), bail out fannie mae again, etc.
You forgot the trick or treat, the nights out on the town (a town he had to use a plane to get there...) and now even the last nights shooter was stating that he was disappointed in Obama since Obama didn't do what he had promissed...
Our daughters friend lost his job this week and for young people it isn't easy, neither is it for a person who has to feed his whole family of his salary and than is layed off!
With cap & trade taxes will go up and people will have even less money to spend.
Health care is going to cost every family so much more and small business owners are scared to death to hire any one with the thread of having all these hidden fees and taxes raised on them...that isn't creating jobs!
That's the second time I agree with you. This HealthCare thing has dragged on long enough. Bring it to a vote and get on to the next thing, jobs
This is the last thing I needed to hear. I'm afraid that I may lose my job, after hunting for 5 months. there may be none out there after this. Obama needs to get his ass in gear, or I may switch parties and boot him out. This is insane.
Main goal should be to get cash in americans hands. (via tax cuts or just a stimulus check)
The main problem is that Obama decided NOT to give much to american households.
His $787 Billion was given out to his washington friends instead of american people.
That was enough money to give each houshold nearly an $8000 check.
Instead, Obama decided to increase government and surprise surprise it's not working.
Now we have high unemployment just like Russia and Cuba have had for the last 50 years
The problem with "giving" the people a check is that it probably would have done nothing to help the economy. Those checks would have likely simply have met the same fate Bush's rebate check stimulus did - they would have been used to pay down bills or simply stuffed in the bank and saved - neither of which would have done ANYTHING to stimulate the economy.

Switch parties: Vote for the Socialist Party USA!
Call your representative in Congress. They are the ones who draft the bills, bring it to a vote, etc.
You can't just blame everything on Obama.
I'm not a big fan of the guy but I'm sick of people blaming him when our real problem lies with Congress. So many of them are out of touch.
