OBAMA

[boom]

All news stations are a joke not just fox news.

I would argue that congress and the fed chairman has done as much or more to screw over the economy than the president.

The republicans didn't screw the country over with the economy, it was the democrats and ACORN with their demands for subprime lending. Banks were forced to give loans to people who shouldn't have got one and in terms, couldn't pay the payments. The banks are now out a lot of money and have to foreclose on houses.

Bush had a democratic congress the whole time he was in office. They are very much to blame for the economy as well.

Banks were not forced to give loans to anyone. They got greedy and made poor decisions. They made a killing when the times were good and now they have to pay for it. Thats fair to me.

Why is it our job to do anything to NK? It's not our business. That is why the UN is created. We should spend more time making the UN into something that is not considered a joke. I dont know why we always think other governments are our responsibilites. Instead of spending time intervening in Darfur or helping people, we seem to just wanna piss people off (Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran).I am fine with
him being diplomatic but staying firm on NK.

Ok several hundred trillion dollars might be the ridiculous claim i have ever heard. And are you kidding me saying it wasn't needed? Every other western power has it...and they are fine with it. My grandpa would still be alive if their was adequate health care. The hospital even told us that. Not using the personal sway, but it is clearly a big issue. It should be people's number one priority.

Anybody who voted for Obama or who criticizes him for not being able to fix the economy right away has clearly never studied anything about the economy. This is not a quick fix. No one said it would be. If it does take 3-4 years to get fully up and running...firstly it'd be a miracle to me, but also yes absolutely he deserves 4 more years. If the asshole before him got it he should too huh?
The system has allowed the rich to make more money, therefore they owe it more. Obama's tax plans haven't been good for my family, but if you can pay more than you should be required to do so. At least now we know our tax money isn't being spent on reckless wars. The rich had it unfairly great the last 8 years now its time to find a middle ground. Still at 7 months its very pre-mature to judge his presidency and economic policies as we will all know a lot more in a year. All we can do at the moment is speculate.

yes true but things already seem like their starting to turn for the better.
