THIS should be the call of OUR "leaders", yet every "solution" posed by the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Trilogy have done nothing but undermine the USA and it's people.

I didn't agree with GWBs TARP funding but does anyone remember he left half of it to Obama's discretion? Which HE promptly spent. He's VERY good at spending!

Every business owner (Large or small) has been trembling in their boots since the Dems have taken control and the carnege is clearly evident to ANYONE who has ever owed, invested or considered starting a business. Ride down any street and witness the closed shops and "Going out of Business" signs.

Doesn't take a genius.

10 years befor we'll see small business/jobs recover.

OUR National debt has skyrocketed and WE have and WILL see more tax increases along with "mandated" health coverage,

higher energy costs, further "green" regulation, non-existant or prohibitively expensive credit....

What's a business to do?

Find a better Country! OR...

Take this one back!

Obama's problem?...You betcha!

Kinda hard to blame the Dems for the failure of the economy since it sank on W's watch. Dems in power in 2006? It was Phill Graham who pushed through the deregulaton of Wall Street and Phill Graham was a REPUBLICAN. It was W that set up the bail out and W is a Republican. It was W that got us into two wars and again Republican. So just where are the Dems responsible for this mess? Bottom line is that no one in Washington is taking responsiblility and no one in Washington is looking out for the voting public. The healtcare bill will benefit 1) Insuance companies 2) doctors 3)hospitals because that is who is padding the election coffers. We the people will be stuck with the bill. Here is an idea: Lets hire our congressmen from third world countries. We can pay them less, they will work for no benefits, and we can deport them when we get fed up. We can post the office of president and vice president on eBay to the highest bidder and use the proceeds to pay off our national debt. Could we be any worse off?

"Liberals are the enemy of America, rid ourselves of this scum!"

I don't agree. I think Liberals, Socialists and Communists are the enemies of all people of the world.

To say that our economy is in poor shape because of the current administration is absurd. If you are being honest with yourself, you will see that the economy was in a recession BEFORE Obama was in office. So how is he to blame? He inherited the majority of the problems from the last administration.

Regardless of your political affiliation, I don’t think it is fair to judge this administration until at least two years. In two years if things have not changed, I will be the first to say so. However you cannot expect the economy to turn around so soon after being managed so poorly for so long. Why is each side so quick to point the finger anyway? Is that really going to get us out of the mess that we are in? I don’t care which side of the isle you are on, you can’t keep defending your party’s wrong behavior or flawed legislation. I challenge you to put your political views aside and answer the following questions HONESTLY.

Was the economy flourishing before Obama was voted in?

Can you really turn a struggling economy around in 10 months?

Bush came into office with a very good excuse for not getting it right...he was dripping wet with DUMB. His whole administration was something out of the "Hole In The Wall Gang" and Butch and Sundance encouraged any criminal activity, as long as it enriched the rich.

Obama came into Office a very intelligent person, but young and innocent. He kept a lot of his predecessor's buddies and then brought on half of Clinton's hacks and not with standing, went out and hired every criminal standing around on Wall ST.

Over all this nations hasn't really stood a chance for the last twenty some years and doesn't appear it's going to improve for the middle class in the near future.

The old Chinese proverb: If there's food on the table then there are a lot of problems. It there's no food on the table, then there's only

one problem.

This recession was caused by Barney Frank / Chris Dodd and the whole acorn led Fannie/Freddie

scandal. Dems had the majority from 2006. This whole fiasco has excelerated with the abusive spending spree and all the broken Obama campaign promises. They had an agenda and that agenda of tax and spend and cut & run military meltdown has progressed.. This is the worst and most incompetent President and administration ever! (10.2% Obama led unemployment)

2010 will be our chance to banish the liberal

2012 will be our chance to banish the liar and the incompetent Obama!

Liberals are the enemy of America, rid ourselves of this scum!

Totally agree with Rick

It's about time people are realizing what the Dems have done to our nation's economy since 2006!

I can't wait until 2010 and 2012 to get rid of all these Charlatans!
