Majority Says Obama's Policies Haven't Helped The Economy or Them Personally

From early on, the Obama administration said this will be something of a "jobless" recovery, and this was the intent. You will not get the jobs you went for in past. The idea is to give the unemployed small benefits until enough people have been squeezed for a long enough period of time, and then you will SCREAM for those low paying "green jobs" and "3 month certificates" that will allow you to enter the healthcare field. This is the plan, and why people do not understand it, I have no answer.

Watching your neighborhood fall into disrepair with bank owned houses, closed signs on businesses, losing your job, having your hours cut, the schools are cutting teachers, school days and programs, unable to get a loan, and this admin says things are getting better? The disconnect from the American people and real lives is stunning. Get off AF1 and start talking to real business owners, real people and see what your ideology is doing.Americans are scared of the future and what more is coming.

We Americans really have short memories. It took the Republicans 8 years to bring the country to the brink of collapse and about three hours after Obama took control everyone was screaming why has'nt he done something about the economy?
I am not a farmer but I do know one cannot make a gourmet meal out of manure (failed Republican policies). Manure must be cured, than spread over the fields then you may grow crops for that meal. A little patience please, all the indicators seem to be headed in the right direction. The only bad thing that could happen is in the mid-term elections the electorate cleans house and gives Obama a house that will let him accomplish nothing.

Americans as a whole are really shortsighted,they have already forgot that the economy almost went over the cliff, and since it didn't, the crash was negated or didn't effect them. Now they want instant fixes, well the're not any. If deregulation and tax cuts would save us why did we all get laid off in 07 and 08. and why haven't we been rehired taxes are down and you even get a tax break for hiring. No, everybody wants a return to an economy where we bought junk we didn't need with money we didn't have, from foriegn workers. You can't raise tarrifs on countries that fueled your boom because you sold them a trillion dollars in bonds which they could sell and tank our economy. If your really serious about creating jobs, go spend all your money and charge on american made goods or sit back and the economy will recover in it's own good time when things finally balance to the new economy.

It's truly a shame that the same number of people didn't see through Obama's fantastic speeches as can now see he has no idea what he is doing. As a debater Obama has no equal, on a campain trail he has no equal, as a President he is a walking, breathing disaster. Obama has a million therories and he has some great speech writers, but not a clue what's going on. Bush was a lousy President, Obama is worse.

I don't begrudge my wealthy friends their mansions, yachts or private planes. However I do not agree with the republicans that we should give them more tax cuts. I support President Obama and the democratic plan to give the tax cuts to the middle class instead.

Mr. President the solution is in the tariff schedules. Have one of your aides run over to the printing office and pick up a copy. Eliminate the middle column, raise the first column to six per cent and voila, the country's troubles are over. No taxes for American business, no income taxes. Its so simple. If Americans want foreign goods let them pay the 5-8 per cent. Remember Revenue Sharing???
