Obama's been president SIX WEEKS! FDR was elected THREE YEARS AFTER 1929 and the beginning of THAT (R) depression. It's been Obama's bad luck that he's been elected just when the Bush Depression is beginning to get really bad. Plus, he's got thousands ideological losers like you trying to hang it on HIM for purely political reasons. Good luck with that! The vast majority of Americans agree that he INHERITED this shit sandwich from W.

> What the hell is happening to us that normal people now find buildings under construction an important thing to point out in a conversation. Obama has people scared shitless. That's precisely what the problem is here. People have stopped spending money because they're afraid of how bad the economy may get. This is what is meant by a "consumer confidence crisis". People need to be scared. We don't know what to do with our banks. Some are insolvent. Others are so mired in toxic assets its unclear what their capital needs are. You have none of the answers but are oh-so-ready to criticize. You make me tired.
