Ok, set the wayback machine for January 20, 2009. It's noontime and Obama has just become President.
Who's "fault" is it for the mess that we're in at 12:01 PM? Ok, that's as far as I want to go on that part.
Now, given that, how much time do you think is reasonable for a new administration to get all their people in place (allowing for getting ready to do just that from November to January) and enact measures to try and fix those problems?
I'm not saying how long of a 'honeymoon' but - right, wrong or indifferent - how long do you think it takes to turn things around? I understand that people out there believe it *can't* happen under the current circumstances. (My personal belief is that this is NOT the best of all possible solutions)
It took Reagan a few years.

Quote Gnu "Just what in your whole post addresses the solution of today's problem? You just repeated the tired old "blame Bush" and said not one thing the current administration is doing right to solve those problems. Whatever generation or political party of the past did or didn't do to screw up our country, is not going to be the one to undo it. Today's problems lay squarely on the back of BO and the Democratic party to correct." end Quote
Nothing in the above quote mentions "fault". It does address who's responsibility it is, GOING FORWARD, to correct the problems. Once again others are more concerned with blaming Bush than debating whether a socialist style redistribution of wealth is the best way to turn the country around.
