Even if the Nodes of the world can't admit it, he definitely helped us toward a soft landing from that terrible bust up of the real estate market. Those were scary times- with foreclosures everywhere. The Nodes of the world have zero memory of it, apparently, but history will remember it. But the 4th economist mentioned in that article is correct- more could have been done to address inequality. More can always be done. But that does mean some good wasn't done, even if it wasn't perfect.

Bullshit, I think Obama was a great president and did a lot. He saved the world from a financial collapse threat and saved the car companies and got the economy going again very well.

And he prevented worries about big wars. He did a fine job.

Do you just make this shit up or you unable to follow the narrative?

"What the hell did Obama do to help the economy?"

According to economists, quite a lot. According to the koans of the right like you, nothing.

I know some economists claim the stimulus helped. But there is no mathematical evidence to support it. So, let's get beyond that. Did he do something else? Here I'll start:

- Cash for Clunkers. How was that? Now, you give me a few.
