Reply #5: So you think everything is hunky dory now?

Giving the banks lots of our money so that they could make loans (which they aren't) and billions for wall street moguls so that jobs wouldn't go away (which the are) is the best you got? Had george done exactly what our current administration has done the pom pom set here on DU would be screaming bloody murder.

I voted for him too. I like what he can stand for. In this particular case, I like to think that he was just feeling a little out of his element with all the economy stuff and turned to the wrong people. I keep hoping that he will finally figure out that he is being ill served. Anyone making under $500K is being ill served.

Johnson is right. The signs were ignored. This isn't about blaming Obama for the economic fall, but for failing to do the right things to fix it. Blind cheering won't help Obama. We need as many people as possible to make our voices heard that he needs a different course of action on the economy. Notice that the RW is fairly happy with the way things turned out. The ones complaining are the progressives.
