I also think they, like 98% of Americans, are having a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that the market doesn't always go up, and it doesn't always recover quickly when it goes in the "wrong" direction, either. Most people seem to be starting to get it, but it is taking a while. How many of you know people trying to sell a house where even though they know the market is down, somehow don't believe that means THEIR house?
Well... people can wrap their head around this... "President Barack Obama said Tuesday he wishes he knew the full extent of the economic crisis when he took office, if only so he could have let Americans know just how tough the coming years would be." Our President is stupid and has no clue as to what he is doing. I can wrap my head around that easily.
We've never seen a recession like this one before, yet you call the President "stupid" because he didn't know in advance what it would look like? Sorry, but that makes YOU look stupid.
I wouldn't call President Obama stupid, but it is like a ship headed into a hurricane and America appoints a cabin boy to take control. He is so out of his depth. Of course he doesn't know what to do or knows how to inspire the nation to dig itself out, so he continues to play the blame game. Sorry it isn't the 1%'rs who got us here. We have had 1%'rs here before.
America and its place in the world is fundamentally changing and Barack is on the campaign trail with his hand out.
But on the other side, I haven't been too impressed with those choices either.
Perry? The second Tele-prompter in chief?
Romney? A man who will just follow the polls like Clinton.
Newt? Which one? A impulsive intellect who loves to contradict.
Ron Paul? I like some of his ideas, but he would have no base in DC and be unable to achieve anything.

Well said Fred, I could not agree more. Ron Paul is probably the only good choice.
The root cause of the recession was housing and none of the problems have been fixed. Foreclosures are sill clogging up the system, Fanny and Freddie are not fixed, new construction is slow, and confidence is low. Time is the only cure and we don't have any more time to keep running Trillion dollar deficits.
There used to be a time that gridlock in DC was good and business would carry on, not anymore. Gridlock and a growing fiscal mess will eventually take us over the cliff.
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
