^ it is my understanding that this is a commonly used tactic for almost all presidents. let me find a quote or some info to back it up

 

McCain or Obama, the stocks are going to plummet for a while just because we're in an inevitable recession. It is also just about impossible to stop the dominoes from falling as fast as "I'm elected, lets watch the stock market shoot up now!" It'll probably be a good 5-10 years if you're being serious about clearing out bad assets... the amount of bad assets created isn't going to just disappear (or in literal since, they have) over night.

 

but thats what this thread is all about. finger pointing. in fact thats all people do when debating politics. because we dont know enough about it, so its easy to say, "oy, it was that ****** right there."

we the people are disappointed because he hasn't brought change to america and cured our problems overnight. but isn't the fact that we are so disappointed proof in itself that even we, in this thread (so called logical people who dont see him as some savior/hero), also have too high of expectations, just by virtue of being so upset? a rational person wouldnt be so quick to be upset unless they pre-emptively thought they were owed something - e.g. obama's heroism and overnight solution. that' silly, he was inaugurated one month ago. but as i said before, this doesnt mean he is free of scrutiny - i still watch with a critical eye because that's all he deserves right now.

 

He also deserves a puppy!

 

^ yeah thats true. haha

my last statement may have been a bit dramatic but just trying to be neutral .

 

I am also neutral in this situation but in my reply above, I am not upset that Obama did not bring change in a quick matter of time as I am well aware that the situation we are in requires more than just one months or even four years to fix. The thing that gets me the most is that how he and other democrats pointed finger and always insisted that with powers in their hands, that things would get better. So after countless promises and speeches, we are still left confused and dazed at who we were actually electing in the first place.
