Quote:But, the economy is getting worse because of Obama's policies, and he's been in office long enough to where soon he won't be able to pass it off as an inherited problem anymore.
Uh, not really. Economic problems as big as the ones we're seeing today aren't resolved in a matter of months. I don't necessarily agree with him making it worse, either. That kind of point is difficult to prove. I agree with him passing the stimulus package, although many economists think it should have been even bigger.
To be fair, Obama did promise on the campaign trail that he would try to help the industry and the citizens of Detroit. The automobile industry accounts for so many jobs there it's a bit understandable. On the other hand, bailing out the companies is sure to fail anyway, so I don't think it was a good idea in the end.
If only he didn't renege on his campaign promise to protect our civil liberties. Some of the shit he's pulling is nightmarish to Orwellian proportions.
