Well, theres also the saying you have to spend money to make money, and the economy. albiet slowly is starting to rebound. I do not think Obama has done nearly as much as he claimed, but to say nothing has been done, it takes time for laws that are passed to effect the economy. Cannot expect that one day we all wake up, and the biggest recession since the depression is going to be all over and everthing is going to be perfect. I suggest we give the guy a chance to finish out his term before we decide how well he did. Clinton was able to have a surplus a couple of years, but during his 8 years in office the national debt was raised by over a trillion dollars. Saying Obama is the problem, is an easy way out. Obama does not write, pass, and sign every bill that passes his desk, the House and the Senate before it ever reaches the presidents desk.
