Consumers destroyed the economy. Bush and the banks only provided vehicles for the drive through get rich quick society. Obama is doing nothing to reverse that.
Absolutely true.
I am disappointed in Obama as president.
He has not lived up to the hype (which would have been impossible frankly)
I know that as president he only has so much power, however, I look at the so called Health Care Reform and frankly, if I was an American, I'd be pissed off because there is NO REFORM. It's just the same old shit. At the end of the day, the American politicians were cowards and afraid to enact any real change to the health care system. They weren't even after Universal Health Care, they were after a government run alternative and they could not even come away with that.
That failure I do blame on Obama. He was unable to strong arm members of his own party. He had the biggest majority in the Senate in a Generation and he could not motivate the Democratic Senators to get on side with the reform. He's too busy golfing and running around collecting Nobel prizes he doesn't deserve.
He strikes me as all talk. Gives good speech, but that's where it ends.
All that said, he IS better than the last MORON they had in power for 8 years.
