Adding even MORE to the debt. Ushered in crony Capitalism as we've never seen before, and GM is STILL in f'n trouble. But if I were a banker or union boss, I'd be in high heaven. An average American that has to pay back all this damn money? Not so much.

You're using one month for your measuring stick on Obama's success?
How about this, and I won't limit it to one month, 45 straight months of unemployment above 7.8%. 3 straight years of a 1+ trillion dollar deficit. A 16 trillion dollar debt (I'm assuming you understand this needs to be paid back, right? I mean, am I safe to assume that?). Gas prices 2.5 times higher than when he took office. Skyrocketing food prices. 15 MILLION more people on food stamps. For every one person that got a job, 75 went on government assistance. As for the DOW, wait, are you Libs now all for Wall Street? The DOW doesn't really have anything to do with who's in office as it's a global market. Those guys will do what they do. Namely, make money any way they can.

yeah, "I'm not saying Republicans can't come along, but they have to sit in the back of the bus". Obama didn't "work" with Congress, Prog; he circumvented them with several HUNDRED executive orders, more than all Presidents combined. He's governing like a ruler, and you Progs are more than happy to give him even more time and power. Hey, it's not like we don't have history to see where this is going.
