RE:You guys only want to blame Obama. After almost 4 years in the White House and at times when Democrats Control Congress nothing has really change. YUP Time for a change we can really believe in. But then maybe the Republicans could screw up this economy even more but I'm willing to give them a chance to do something...anything. 4 years? If you understood the magnitude of the problems facing this country you'd know it takes that long and more to make corrections. I honestly believe you really don't understand. The economic meltdown of 2008 did not materialize overnight. It was in the making over a decade - that would include a large portion of time when a Republican was in the White House and also at times when the Republicans had the power. You guys like to gloss over that part in favor of "Obooma" jokes. |

re:The economic meltdown of 2008 did not materialize overnight. It was in the making over a decade - I agree so what was done about it? Did Bush or Obama make any REAL attempt to correct all this or at least show some BIG efforts? YES...Congress was just as bad if not worst but the bucks stops on the desk in the Oval office. Time for someone new in the White House to give it a shot.  |

Time for someone new in the White House to give it a shot. How you can not know anything about what's been going on? He didn't take office until January 2009 so it hasn't been 4 years yet. And he's fighting against a Republican controlled House that will not cooperate simply "because" he's Obama and he's a Democrat. Period. It's not about ideology or policy. It's about party politics and nothing more. It doesn't matter what he does, they will write legislation opposite of his, or vote against anything he tries to put through. You may get your wish to see someone else in the office - in the form of Romney. But I can almost guarantee he will get the same treatment from Democrats. He won't be able to get anything done and then you'll be whining that it's time to get rid of him and put someone else in. |

There is NO ONE that can foresee what President Romney will do about this country financial mess until he is sworn in. He could be another Obama for all we know. All I'm saying its time for somebody else to give it a shot.
The whole problem seems to be is when anyone who is elected to any federal office is that it is extremly hard to remove them from office if they are not doing what is expected of them from their constituents. Most members of Congress dont seem to give a rose what anyone else says except what the speakers of the house and senate demand of them These guys have too much frigging power.IMO
