“...his time in office presented him with problems such as very few presidents have ever had to address.”
Oh, I am so sick of hearing that talking point. We don’t live in a perfect world, and every President inherits problems from previous administrations. Some have more than others, true. Bill Clinton inherited a lot fewer domestic problems than Reagan did, for example. But what matters is how a President *deals* with them. And on that count, Obama most certainly *can* be judged. And I think most people would agree it’s not the “B+” grade he gave himself earlier in the term.

The only problems Obama has that “ very few presidents have ever had to address.” is the world wide economic collapse of the same anti liberty, anti productivity and innovation Socialist Welfare State model that Obama is currently trying to impose on the United States and cram down American’s throats.
Europe has run out of other peoples money and so has the United States.
Obama and the Democrats are actively creating their own (near term) future crisis by borrowing trillions of dollars to float the system and dole out enough payoffs to keep enough Americans from truly realizing this simple fact until after he is re elected in 2012.
The true unemployment rate in the country is 16-22 %, as high as in the Great Depression, but we don't have soup lines- we have Government welfare EBT cards and 99+ weeks of unemployment checks to disguise the seriousness of the situation.
Regardless of who is elected in 2012, the country is going to have to go through a painful withdrawal from it's addiction to the spending of borrowed money to fund a professional welfare entitlement class with government transfer of wealth payments
In reality, what Obama has done is prolonged and intensified the inevitable downturn while at the same time squandering assets to hide and whitewash our problems so when the day of economic reckoning finally hits, our country will be flat broke with it's cupboards bare, too far in debt to allow for more borrowing and spending, and with with about 45 million long term unemployed people as the STARTING POINT for the downturn
Very scary to contemplate what these profoundly destructive people are in the process of doing to our country.
