I am beyond weary of hearing about the last 8 years or his predecessor or what ever. It's like stop whining, man up and govern for crying out loud.

Rush just commented on that today! Obama needs to buck up, and GOVERN! After all, he Climbed over everyone else to get the job... And from my POV, if Obama was so smart, he would have known (from his three years in the Senate,two of which he was MIA) that there were people still in the House and Senate over those last ten years that caused a good deal of the current problems with FM, FM and the CRA mandates directing the banks they HAD to make a certain percentage of their loans to people who "wanted a house" even if they couldn't afford it. GWB inherited a Recession that started by the charts in March 2000, before the election, and policies from the Clinton Adm during the go-go years of the 90's that furthered the policies from the Carter era....plus 9-11, and all sorts of things. Obama is behaving like a spoiled, egocentric child. BARACK OBAMA: (SIGH) The— the fact that— you are often confronted with bad choices that flow from less than optimal decisions made a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, when you weren't here. A lot of times, when things land at my desk— it's a choice between bad and worse. And as somebody pointed out to me— the only things that land on my desk are tough decisions. Because, if they were easy decisions, somebody down the food chain's already made them."
