Time to Start Paying Attention, America!

No, at any given point he never had support from the opposition or the people which makes proper governing impossible.

I could do my job if everyone just agreed with me, waaaaaaah!

Inexperienced? The president you had before was a lunatic and got you into this whole financial mess

You do realize as a senator he voted against reform of Fannie/Freddie? Consider the questionable economic philosophy that led to the stimulus. Or maybe the lack of confidence from the market caused by his feeble and inconsistent economic views. Tax hikes, moratoriums and attacks on oil drilling and coal production, increased environmental regulation including threats of an environmental policy that could seriously threaten the viability of a 1st world economy, expansion of entitlement programs despite the looming debt crisis, the inability of congress to satisfy budget requirements and his lack of leadership to seek an end to the standoff and instead choosing to play party politics, increased and unaccountable regulatory agency leadership and policy resulting in unknown numbers of constitutional breaches and stifling regulations, failure to bring an end to the war (as promised) and instead increased overseas operations, or just his general absenteeism.

Take your pick and wonder why both the DOW and S&P are plummeting. Sure is 'all Bush's fault' up in 2011.

This just in, If you're President you need to have experience before your first experience of being President.

This just in, leadership is a skill.
