>> Undoubtedly President Obama inherited an economic mess.

He did.

But the right things had already been done to turn it around when Obama walked in the door.

All he had to do was drive it is a straight line and it would have taken care of itself. But, no.

He scared the living shit out of business people. Those of us who are in business have not the slightest idea what the tax situation will look like a year from now, no idea what health insurance may cost, no possible way to do estate planning, etc.

People who would like to expand their businesses today face such totally unpredictable situations that it is just that much harder to do.

Had Bush had another year there is no doubt the economy would have been far more stable by Jan 21 '10 than we're going to find it next month.
