Right... because before Obama all was peachy.

Most liberals were focused on Gitmo, global warming, Iraq, health care and almost nothing on the economy for most of his two terms. If Obama wasn't up to the task, he shouldn't have run for office. His whining for the last three months since the election is getting tiresome.

At what point will Obama be responsible for his economic performance policies? Blaming Bush for everything isn't a policy for the future.

This is the kind of ####### I expect from the Right wing people. I expected within in a month they will all start to blame Obama for the crisis now. It was the last 8 years and the last pres. and the Congress and Senate that caused this mess. The democracts were in congress the last 2 years of Bush so 6 years of GOP Control and the rubber stamps were coming.

The dereg of the banks was the big fall and that is the GOP Fault Mostly Phil Gram.

He has not been in office to get his economic performance on track. one month and you expect everything is rosie. Put your Rose color glasses down.

The same thing happen when Bush took office, the GOP blamed Clinton for everything.

Let Obama try to fix it. Give him a chance. I was not happy about bush being elected even though he stole his way into the white house, I at least gave him a year to prove himself.

The mess that Bush made will not be fix in a month or two, I think maybe it will take almost 4 yrs.

This country has been run by REPs mostly. Only 8 yrs by Clinton. That is since Reagen took Office. So the last 19 year 8 were by a Democrat. They have been massive lays offs also in that time from big corps, a big stock market crash etc under the GOP watch also.. so it is not all OBAMA fault.. Just give him a chance

Supreme court system seems crazy to me, suppose to interpret the laws made by congress, why can't congress make laws that don't need to be interpreted?

And why only nine guys, if anything was natural or scientific, no matter who is making the interpretations or doing the observations, the results should be the same. These nine guys just have opinions, and the most infamous decisions that affect all of us are on a 5 to 4 vote majority. Even the constitutional changes require 75% and these guys are effectively changing the constitution. Should be a 9 to 0 vote, not a 5 to 4.

Then how are they selected, first bad thing is for life, why not term limits? Then they are appointed by the president and approved by a congress that he can blackmail, so where is the balance of power? That translates the balance of power to only one guy, the president himself, and can either be for the good or the bad, the bad predominates. And why not voted in by the people, electing a justice with the best line of BS?

I certainly don't agree with all of the decisions of John G. Roberts Jr., would have never heard of him if my wife didn't have to know at least his name to pass her civics test. But his single vote counts for about 35 million of ours, and it's just his opinion! Another problem is when congress kept on giving the president more and more power, we are straying away from a democracy into a dictatorship, but at least with term limits. And if a the president appoints that guy in the supreme court to back him up, where is the balance of power?

Same in congress where Nancy is running the entire show, she has the final say of what or what not can be put on the floor, who in the hell started this? Our representatives do not have to account to us, they have to account to Nancy.

Our system really got fvcked up over the years, and the only ones that can change it are the people we put in power, and may the guy with the best line of BS win.
