Public Increasingly Seeing Obama as Responsible for the Economy

Hey, rbji345, isn't it OBAMA who's LOOSENING the immigration policies? Americans had plenty of well paying jobs before he took office and darned near tore down the border fences!

Of COURSE he's responsible.... after all, as he's so fond of saying.. he's in charge, right?

The economy want get better until the Republicans, Democrates,and Independents work together to help us. People are going to blame Obama for the economy, when it was Messed up when Bush was in the White house. He was the one who let the ball go. The sad part to me is that we have men and women who fight to protect stupid people and I'm starting to question why, because there is nothing United about our country. During the election and now people have proved that.

Obama and Joe shouted JOBS JOBS JOBS during the campaign, bunch of lies, he hasn't accomplished a thing!

Hey, I have an idea. Lets hand the keys back to the very people that drove the car into the ditch. Lets also turn a blind eye to total de-regulation, no over sight and lets forget all about Wall Street and the Gulf. Lets forget about Health Care and how about we artificially re-inflate the housing market again? Yes, thats the ticket and will fix everything for you instant gratification, poltically impotent ideologs.

yes and Im sure everything would be perfect had McCain and Palin been elected. That is the reality of the right wing disconnect. Nothing would be better and everything would be worse.

There is not one source [expert] out there that hasn't said this economy is turning around. Jobs are going to be the last to improve. And quite frankly, we're weathering this storm pretty well. The stadiums are still full, gas is low for now, and none of our taxes have increased. And I'm guessing most of you aren't missing any meals or doing without the necessities. Now, compare that to the rest of the world. We're all humans, you know? I think I'll remain optimistically grateful for things being as good as they are. It was going to be much, much worse.

Obama's feet need to be held to the fire until this economy turns around. Union Bosses are lobbying Congress to bailout the Union pensions. Theses pensions have been underfunded for decades. In unrelated news, Union Bosses have pledged $200,000,000 to help Democrats keep control of Congress. Wouldn't that money be better spent on shoring up their member's pensions instead of supporting Democrats/Obama and their 10% unemployment policies?

Despite my intense dislike for our current POTUS, the economic downturn is not his fault. However, much like FDR, he suffers from the misguided notion that the government can fix everything. If history teaches us anything at all, it is that the government creates more problems than it solves. During the 1930s, FDR wasted billions in short-term schemes, only to find that unemployment at the end of the decade was virtually unchanged.

Obama's stimulus is an abject failure, and could well be blamed for extending the recession - much like FDR's fantasy ride. Small businesses still cannot obtain loans, and without small business there will be no recovery. If Obama really wants to end this slide, he should go back to Congress and have them re-designate remaining funds for small business.

But I actually think he wants to extend the crisis - since no crisis should ever be wasted. In a twisted sense, he seems to think that the economic downturn will facilitate his devotion to establishing a Socialist nightmare here - even though it has failed everywhere else in the world. For a supposedly pretty smart guy, he needs to read more history.

In the end, every voter needs to remember him - so that we never again elect a president without any semblance of experience. We seem to have forgotten the disaster known as Jimmy Carter. We can never forget Obama.

Is anyone keep track of all of the USA companies who are laying off employees in the USA and sending jobs out of theo country? I just read in the newspaper that Hewlett Packard is laying off 6,000 employees and sending the jobs overseas. And you wonder why the economy is getting worse. People who are not working do not pay taxes and they do not purchase items.
