But he has. The stock market has dropped off nearly 30% since his election. He did say that change is coming. He just didn't specify positive or negative now did he?

Mainly because people do not understand issues usually until the issue becomes their own issue. It is not until the crisis hits home that suddenly the majority of individuals want action. At this point in time of course the issue is much bugger than just their issue but they want the comfort of "their-own" existence remedied right then so "Whats the problem?" Once they are happy again there of course is no more problems!




The other problem is that people forget be careful what you ask for as you may just get it! The issues of not being specific in what type of change they expect and are waiting for in the final analysis of the issue. Change can be just what we are experiencing the beginning fros of a Great Depression! Just because someone yells change does not mean the change will be good! Change is merely something different than what is now the reality. People need to be specific in what they desire. Bush showed us this when he gave the Criminals that caused this mess Trillions of Dollars without specifics on how the funds should be used, as such the banks do what they do, take and keep. The people that were expected to benefit from this De-stimulation have done just what the banks wanted, went broke, as the banks sat on the cash and are in turn now going broke! The banks took more than they needed and without a plan of action just a plan for money that is theirs. The Banks now are wondering what is up as they have no clue aside from stealing money from people with out regulation another Bush Present to the Big Old Blue Void!


If this money were distributed to every individual that filed a tax return last year in equal proportions, the money would be doing what was expected stimulating the economy instead of letting the ink dry in a banks vault and paying for executive jets, perks and resort seminars with spa treatments and bankruptcy filings in attempts to find these now lost funds!

Thank you for that compliment my Brother & Fellow Patriot. You could be my running mate with solid knowledge that my life and tenure would be short! My assassination would be none to soon in line as the party continues to be a part of my passing! You could then carry on the work of The John Galt Society based on Ayn Rands, Atlas Shrugged! Opposed to breaking-the-spirit and mind of all free thinking people. May complacency never take root again! Lmao

Because they did not want him for president so their minds have narrowed more than what they where already.  I think that he will not be able to clean up or fix most of the previous party doings, we will just have to suck it up either way he is the man now.

Narrow mindedness is infecting left and right.The actions that got us into this mess were not solely the previous party,anyone remember Clintons pet project,NAFTA,and how many U.S. Jobs got sent Overseas thanks to that.BOTH parties have blown oppurtunities to Help while turning a blind eye as crooked bankers,CEOs and wall street ripped off the public,yet we still give credit to,or condemn, the "other"side for what happens,bickering as our country goes down the toilet.

It is my opinion that most people ( younger ones mostly), do not care. It's been my experience with most of the ones I know that they are so wrapped up in their own problems that they do not vote do not even know who their representative in congress is or for that matter who Governs their state. We must try to get people more interested in what goes on in our government, then maybe people would understand a little better why one person can not change the economy in 3 weeks.

WOW, bitterness on both sides is so childish,temper tantrums anyone?How about this,why do americans believe that any politician,regardless of party can effectively change this economic mess?Politicians, crooked bankers and CEOs w/no business ethics got us into this.Blame Bush?How about Clinton for NAFTA that sent American jobs overseas?Bush came along and did nothing to change that,hes just as guilty and now Mr Obama,another politician that before he decided to run for pres. No one had ever heard of .Our political system may be better than other countries but power hungry career politicians that feed off the divisions within the 2 parties and further split our country are not the solution to our problems.

An uninformed electorate is one that is easily duped. So you get what we have over the last 50 or more years. Election participation has steadily been declining while corruption has been increasing. Notice any correlations?

True, partcipation in elections is crucial,as is being an informed voter.But is the increase in corruption and division the result of lack of participation,or is the lack of participation the result of the corruption and division?Sadly the two seem to feed off of each other.

Very good point ;) it's a very vicious circle. Somehow the masses have to see that the way to change things is from the bottom up. A great book on the subject is "who will tell the people, the betrayal of american democracy" by william greider. It slams both dems and reps equally. It shows how they've both become just opposite sides of the same dirty coin. But he still offers hope that it's not too late to win democracy back. I agree ;)

We understand all right; the greenhorn has caused a massive shortselling in the marketplace, reducing the US economy to two-thirds of what it once was. What we don't understand is why we need to keep letting him screw up our lives.

Would you give your car keys to someone who totals a car at least once a day? Probably not, so why would you give this incompetent bloviator a pass? Is it because you want a fascist  state to take care of you?

Looking forward to the day Il Duce 2 is lynched from a lamppost.

Its kinda like a car heading for a cliff. Common sense would dictate that you undo the seat belt and bail. Those with blinders will not see the cliff, due to the blinding light that is the golden tongue.

It's not that people can't understand that the economy can't be changed in 3 weeks. I think intelligence dictates that. That's just an excuse that the lefty's use for people who have their eyes open. It is more that people can't understand how and why someone would act as foolishly and irresponsibly as O in trying to "fix" things. I guarantee that if John McCain or "Joe the plumber" for that matter was president and doing what Obama is doing, none of you lefty's would be whining it's only 3 weeks, it's only 3 weeks! But rather the mantra would be...."You get the rope, I got the torch, let the lynching commence!"  Admit it.

Because they have little or no sense of history.  Take for example the debate over the stimulus package. It is very much like what was done in the 30's with the wpa and the ccc. But the reps and neocons either can't see that or don't want to see that. But  what can you do?

Politics=debacle.United we stand /divided we fall, havent been united since those weeks after 9-11.Different views are expected,but cant be our down fall. Not sure where the answer lies,but God help us,its not in the blame game.Cash flow is needed ,and accountability for the stimulus $,not spec interestprojects hiding underneath a mtn. Of paper.Both sides look at the effective and weed out the other?a Bipartisan effort in that would boost taxpayer confidence that were not getting screwed

Most people do understand that. The ones that are complaining are just typical right wing pieces of crap that are mad because they can't keep raping the populace to line their own pockets.

Right wing pieces of crap?Right wing mad?Not any madder than the left when Gore got bumped.Nothing like unity is it?Left wing,right wing,red vs blue?Does it really matter?Politicians of all sides use these divisions of opinion to play on our emotions just to get elected and stay in power.When will we wake up and just be Americans,one nation under God,or have we forgotten the Pledge of Allegiance too?

What's "pheroism" ? Is that a made up word for "pharaoh"? "w" was far closer to that for sure.
