well, he wont be trying to save an auto industry, and keep a depression from occurring, and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs per month, or find osama bin laden, or weaken al queda,,,, so Id say, his mess is considerably less,,, another reason its important for him to win actually because when the long term affects of the first term start kicking in, Id hate for some other knucklehead to sit there and take the credit for turning it around,,, Don't kid yourself Ms H. long term effects like the prediction that stimulus would ensure that unemployment won’t exceed 8% - or saying he would put all legislation on the Internet for five days before it comes to a vote? Those are just two of many. I don't endorse the GOP or the Dems, but it's hard to sit back as you bend over backwards twice trying to defend this man. I dont quite follow how does failing to televise legislation ( a decision that doesnt belong exclusively to the executive office) or not keeping unemployment under 8%( does that mean EVER, from 2009 to eternity with no exceptions?) have to do with whether there will be other long term BENEFITS That will occur because of other difficult decisions that were made,,, What difficult decisions? I was pointing out that both statements were lies, and don't turn the question around so it looks as though I'm the crazy one. He said those things not me. the difficult decisions about the near economic collapse/recession about our national security etc,,,, because he has not been successful at EVERYTHING doesnt mean he has been successful at NOTHING and it still doesnt mean that NOTHING he has done is going to have any benefit down the road I believe that much of whats been done under this administration will prove to have had a significant positive impact down the line,, if it isnt all reversed before it happens or if it isnt credited to someone who happens to be in offense when it starts becoming more obvious,,,,
