I find it funny that the mass media had the whole country convinced that Obama was better economically than McCain. Yeah how's that working now lol

the media has absolutely no idea what they are talking about when they talk about the economy. ive heard some media members in "less formal" conversations (i.e. podcasts, twitter, interviews, etc) say that they really have no idea what "credit default swaps" and "collateralized debt obligations" are.

for people to say that bush/mccain/obama are all the same economically is an absolute joke. and to compare bush to obama is laughable too.

people confuse bush's $700B with obama's $700B. they are not the same. bush did it to preserve the financial system for the entire world. people cannot, and for the sake of their sanity, should not rationalize that would happen if multiple major banks failed.

now obama comes into office and does a $700B stimulus package, which is one of the worst economics decisions ive ever seen somebody do. he gave billions of dollars to companies who were failing, were going to fail, or will soon fail. you can't stop fate. AIG was going to fail six months ago and its still going to fail. and the media refuses to talk about the ramifications of printing hundereds of billions of dollars. fck it, ill make a new thread about it.

Pretty much expected. Can you name a President who's approval rating improved over time? You won't find many. Everyone becomes less enthused and enamoured as time goes by.

especially when theyre driving us over a finacial cliff. If youre broke, you don't spend money obama. ITS COMMON SENSE! you save and pay down your debt.
