Obama came in during a rough time but he needs to quit whining
We inherited the worst situation since the Great Depression.
That is the reflexive response of President Obama to the troubles from which he has been unable to extract his country.
Even before the inauguration,he says,there were projections of a $1.2 trillion deficit for 2009. That deficit is not my deficit.
Presidents are usually blamed for deficits run while they are in office. But,in fact,presidents do not write budgets. Congress does. Presidents sign them. And the mammoth deficits of 2008 and 2009 came from budgets approved by a Congress run by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Did Sen. Barack Obama vote against those budgets?
As for the troubles he inherited,the president has a point. From day one,he has had to deal with two wars,a financial crisis and an economy careening into recession.

Our programs will go away as soon as the administration is driven from office at the ballot box. Think Contract with America. Written laws including health care,crap and tax,and immigration will be reversed when adults with conservative fiscal values return to Washington,I'm Jim
Jim,I pray to God you are right. This man has destroyed the life of every American who loves America and honors The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. I can't even tolerate his face or the sound of his voice. He is the Devil incarnate.
