It's going to take some time to dig ourselves out of this considerable hole left by Bush, et al.

It took bush eight years to destroy the economy, I think we are setting an unrealistic time line for economic recovery. Voters should exercise patience, Obama has only been president for 6 months.

The economic problems and unemployment only become worse under the Republican presidency. Mr. Obama has been in the government for only four months since the stimulus package was approved. Until when banks and the speculators are regulated, it is much difficulty to create jobs without regulated financial institutions and instruments.

No point throwing blame. But many do see the need to revolt against the global corporations and the Illuminati. Jack,

The legitimate blame, however, is shared by a group of people who are emotionally and intellectually incapable of owning up to their mistakes: baby boomers. Our leaders are more like scapegoats for a selfish and rather unAmerican generation that talks the American talk; but can't walk the American walk.

They vote hoping that the person they vote for will keep their promise, for once ,to improve their living conditions. The problem is politicians make promises that they know they can't or won't keep. Politicians bank on the short memories that voters have in order to be re-elected. Americans are spoiled and impatient. Voters are basically ignorant of the responsibilities and powers of elected officials. If their fiscal status improves then Democrats will maintain their status. If not, they will make more promises that they know they won't keep. Either way, we lose. Jack,
