Obama has been in control of the economy since he won the election, he made how many addresses to the media with his cute little sign (the office of the president elect) still campaigning on his economic team and their plans which have did nothing to create consumer confidence, investor confidence, buisness confidence and 4 months later still no confidence and I dont want to wait a year to see a turn around. You 2 guys dont validate anything you say, I dont have any problem understanding why you guys dont get what any of the guys on here have said because you dont even have the facts about what you are saying and you really dont care what the truth is. I'm on here now just to see what kind of ridiculous regergatated nonsence I can provoke out of you next.

Pine mt . if Obama had a good plan the market would have already turned around. I will use the numbers Beaglechase posted to illustrate something to you boys. Beaglechase said 20% of the population owns 80% of the wealth, well Obama got 52% of the vote. That means he got 52% of the 80% ofthe population that owns 20% of the wealth because the 20% that owns 80% did not vote for Obama, now that means he has the support of about 15% of the US wealth, that is why the economy hasn't even given him a bump, much less a turn around. Its simple, the money has backed out of the economy.

You have been saying this is because of the last 8 years of Bush. So now you're saying it is going to take more than 8 years for Obama to turn this around?

I've run a few businesses in my life as well. Bought one that was losing $10,000 a month and employing 4 people who were going to lose their jobs. In less than 6 months I turned it around to employing 15 people and making $10,000 a month in profit in ONE department. I didn't use the Obama plan of borrowing money and spending my way out of the debt. I evaluated every dime being spent and cut back on the spending. Once the RIGHT systems are in place a business grows organically in a very short time. It took the previous owners 5 years to get the business to where it was, I never once pointed fingers at them for an excuse as to why the business couldn't be turned around quickly. I owned it and turned it around, otherwise I was to blame for not succeeding.

I didn't miss your point at all. You say it will take a long time to turn this economy around. I disagreed and posted the reason for it taking longer. Obama is spending our money which makes us not want to spend the little he is leaving us, when we know he is going to try to get his hands on it as well.

I'll tell you this, as a business owner, if you start taking money from me as if you're helping someone else, it's not going to be me that gets laid off nor takes the pay cut.

Look at the market and what is happening WHILE Obama is president. You can't keep throwing out the political rhetoric that it is Bush's fault. The market doesn't care. Obama cannot articulate a clear economic plan, that is why the market is tanking to levels not seen for DECADES.
Obama's plan to spread the wealth around will not inspire business owners to put their money out there to be spread around. Socialism will not stimulate a free market system.
YOU GUY'S KNOW THE MARKET IS GOING TO GO ON DOWN' FOR MONTHS YET ,AND A LOT OF JOBS WILL STILL BE LOST .WHAT I SAID WAS THAT IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO GET BACK FROM THESE MESS,
On what date do you think it has been long enough for Obama's policies to show us the results that were promised? Will that be the same date he begins to be held accountable? You can always say "it'll take more time", when is time up?

If supporting this liberal agenda is what you wanting , I hope they keep doing nothing by your standard and when you start supporting that rhetoric with some legislation that will validate it, I will respond to it. Until it is a waste of my time.

So what you are saying is RIGHT NOW! Because, the democrats can pass whatever they want without the Republicans. Your only concern with the Republicans is that the radical liberal ideas can not be blamed on the Republicans if they don't go along with it. (Insert blame Bush and Republicans here.)

So by your standard you can't use the (Blame Bush Template) because Bush was being opposed by the Democrats so it is not his fault. If Obama should not be held accountable until all opposition to his policy is eliminated then you can no longer use the (Blame Bush Template) since he had opposition.

Truth is you are avoiding setting a time for when to hold Obama accountable because just like all liberals you survive by having someone else to blame and feel you should never be held accountable, because if something goes wrong it's never your fault.

I find it very interesting that after gaining control of both houses of congress and the White House, liberals are still not talking about their plan for the greatness of this country but instead are still focused on directing negativity at the Republicans. The Liberals are still telling us how bad this country is and how it is only going to get worse. Where's all this hope and prosperity? Obama ran on a campaign of tearing down this country and he has not stopped campaigning against America since he took office.
