ok, she is absolutely terrible!! seriously, Revere rode to warn the British were coming....remember 2 if by land, 1 if by sea.....jeez...she is ok to look at, but that's about it. As far as Obama, we got handed a recession, and really only helped the big banks out. We lent the banks all this money, and they didn't lend it out...most put it into equities, which has helped kept the markets churning, but zero real help to main street. I predicted Obama would be a 1 term president, but so will the next ( prob Rommney) as if you think the economy sucks now, what till interest rates start to rise...
I guess increased entitlement spending and the factors of Medicare and Medicaid being unsustainable, enormous pieces of the deficit aren't at fault. Its Wall St to a point, but Obama has done nothing to help the situation. When you are "handed a recession" you don't increase the size of government and employ programs that are beyond our means and come out with "well I guess we weren't shovel ready."
Bush and the Repubs had a chance to curb these problems years ago and didn't because they feared doing the right thing at the cost of their political careers. Shame on them. Obama had a chance to be pragmatic and non-partisan, he opted for ideological and divisive. Its why his economic team has abandoned him.
