Create jobs a year ago? The economy was spiraling into a black hole! Surely, he should have focused as much on saving jobs as he focused on saving the banks. But even for God things take time and Obama is not God, right?
And politicians regardless of political persuasion never get things done properly, anyway.
They are too busy counting the money from lobbyists. Six hundred million form the drug/health industry for example.
Yes, he lost touch with his base after getting elected. He is no FDR that's for sure.

FDR was a shithead who didn't care for the "working man", the person he was supposedly trying to help. I'd say they're in the same boat.

JIM:

According to Conse 'Pubs, this is the Obama Depression, and did not involve BUSH.

The Great Depression lasted so long because of FDR, according to Conse 'Pubs.

FDR & Obama failed, while Hoover and Bush were just average residents in The WH.

Jimbo, I believe that it is you who needs to read a book.

I'm not contesting about which wars we won. If you had actually bothered to look up 9066, you would have found out that your homeboy FDR had imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens, held them in internment camps, suspended their rights and had them arrested without grounds for due cause and seized their property and assets simply because they were Japanese. That today is known as "racial profiling"...

As I said before, FDR was a shithead and he shit on the Constitution the entire time he was in office.

ANGRY:

You're judging FDR's 4 terms based on one HUGH mistake in the 40's, and judging it by standards 60-70 years later, like the founders having slaves and growing pot. Or do they get a pass?

You condemn FDR for ONE thing for 12 years? Hoover did nothing for The Great Depression, and Bush 43 has 116 questionable acts in 8 years. What about them?

Are you saying Obama & FDR are crap, while you say little or nothing on Hoover & Bush 43? Or am I taking you wrong?

Yeah, last year TMF said unemployment would go no higher than 8.5% because of his stimulus package. It busted that in february.

Well he'll burden generations to come as FDR did at least.

And I'll bet your mortgage rates were close to 20%.

My mortgage, at that time, was from the 1960s at 5%, fortunately.
You recall, that when Reagan came in the rates came down and so did the Saving and Loan industry. Some of the Bush boys were involved in that fiasco.
