What is happening is what I expected when I voted for Obama. The US economy is not a sports car that can be whipped around -- it's more like a huge freighter. So I didn't expect Obama to have the economy whipped into shape in 6 months. Most of the economists I have heard had said that we might have a weak recovery by the end of the year. Personally, I think that is optimistic.

I don't believe that the problems with the ecomomy have their roots over the past decade or so. I think some of it started back as far as RR. I think Clinton did some things that contributed to it, and I think the Bush administration did some things. People in the US did some things -- you see, I don't buy that everyone unknowingly bought into shaky mortgage products and had too much credit pushed on them. I used to get about 10 credit card offers a week -- and I shredded every one of them. Part of it was a cultural value that said, I want it now and come h*ll or high water, I'm going to get it now.

I still don't have a problem with the President. I'm watching where this health care thing is going. And I don't like the jobless numbers any better than you do. But, I didn't expect that he would take office and everything would immediately be okay. I think we're in some kind of economic evolution.

And I'm not sorry I didn't vote Republican. I think the Republican party is in shambles and if we held an election tomorrow, there is no one that I would actually vote for.

Now y'all can just jump all over this. and WW, I don't think I am a coward for saying what I think. We'd be in this same situation if John McCain were President.
