It is when the previous administration helped create an economic crisis. Even if the previous administration was 100% responsible for the situation, and Obama's plans where perfect and a great solution (neither of which is remotely close to being true), it still wouldn't be "the day to day running of the government". Add in the fact that the policies are likely to cause harm, just makes the whole thing even worse. "Obama was elected after he promised a net spending cut." And he is moving towards that goal..........by ending the war in Iraq and allowing the tax cuts to lapse. Letting the tax cuts lapse is at best irrelevant to that goal. A tax increase is not a spending cut. As for the war in Iraq, Obama's already pushed more spending in less than two months, than all the money the government has spent in the war on Iraq in 6 years. I know you think its justified (even though it isn't), but that's irrelevant to the point under consideration. Obama is increasing spending even more and faster than Bush did.
