Before you fret too much, it’s important to consider a few things.
When I look at Obambi, I see a poor, ambitious schmuck who has been given the Captain’s hat and told he is in charge, for the last 15 minutes of the voyage of the Titanic. There is nowhere for him to go but down.
No doubt he is filled to the brim with all sorts of ambitious plans and schemes. But it doesn’t matter.
As he was leaving office, to be replaced by his Vice President Martin Van Buren, Andrew Jackson neatly popped an economic bubble, that caused the worst economic collapse in US history to that point, and almost matched the Great Depression. Gee, thanks boss.
But Obama now finds himself in Martin Van Buren’s shoes. But don’t blame everything on W. Bush, in this case. Bush saw the catastrophe coming from a mile away, and tried to mitigate it, but the Democrat congress wouldn’t play.
So perhaps it was a good thing that the Republicans got creamed in the election. Even if some talented Republican could Jerry-rig the economy to plod on for another year or two, it was obvious that this monster needs a major readjustment.
And Obama is as helpless to save the old economy as he would have been in saving the Titanic, 15 minutes before plonk.
The expression was nevermisunderestimate W
I have concluded he left economic land mines that will continue to destroy the Messiah
THere’s just one problem with your post.
obama gets to nominate supreme court justices.
You miss the point Obama is not the Captain, he is the Iceberg.
I don't believe as others do about Bush causing this economic catastrophe we find ourselves in. Even some on FR seem to accept that.
It just seemed to me Bush was helpless to stop the Democrat Congress due to political considerations and the media's successful campaign to smear him to the point where he lacked any credibility to act.
The 110th Congress was responsible for the recession and it may have done so intentionally.
