Despite what Republicans believe today, by the end of his term, he'll be able to ask the 'are you better off now then you were 4yrs ago?'just as Reagan and Clinton did, he'll be reelected.
Horseshit. The economy would have gone in the same direction had Al Gore been president. The economic factors that came into play during the Bush presidency would likely have been the same under a Gore presidency. Interest rates would have been driven down as a result of the tech bust, poor people would have been pushed into home ownership that they couldn't afford (probably more so) thanks to enablement of idiot finance minds in Congress like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and....the piper would have come home to roost sometime between 2007 and 2008, under Gore or Kerry....
while it's mightily convenient to say it's all Bush's fault...the fact of the matter is that I have full confidence that the two democrat alternatives would have acted not much differently....
However, here's where your post is caked in horseshit. Please take the whole "Obama's cleaning up the mess' feces, and return it right back up your rectum. Seriously....you can say that if YoMama is actually working to improve things...but the minute that fucker took office, the markets tanked even further....unemployment (above normal frictional/seasonal) practically doubled overnight...and has gotten progressively worse.
Our economy is no better off than it was 6 months ago. You think the technical fact that GDP shrinkage has been stopped is an indicator of the end of the recession? Go back to your school books and return with the formula for GDP. You'll find that even with negative growth in Consumption and Investment, that massive Government spending can give you a positive number. But it's a false number. Unemployment has gotten worse, not better over the past 3 months....
Go ahead and tell yourself it's only 10.2%. Like I said, realistically, it's more like 17%....and that's a recent development.
We're FAR worse off under YoMama than we EVER were under Hayseed.....Thankfully, that's exactly what I was expecting. By this time next year, that bleeding cvnt Pelossi won't be 2 gunshots away from the presidency.....and another 2 years from then, YoMama will go home to chicago with a legacy twice as bad as Jimmy Carter's...
