You are very corect about the blame game. It's my opinion that the current President is using the blame game a little more than his predecessors did. As far as the economy goes, yes it will be a long road for recovery but there doesn't seem to be any idications that the economy is on the road to recovery.

he's not using it any more than any of his predecessors. it's your bias telling you that, not any facts. same with the economy; there are encouraging signs. apparently you just choose to completely ignore them because of who's in charge. we have a ways to go, but there are some bright spots. considering how things are worldwide, as well as nationally, it's a wonder our economy isn't worse than it is.

i believe it was jon stewart who said people are bitching because obama hasn't fixed in two years what it took eight years to screw up. although that might not encompass the entire story, it's a good point. bush did screw us up quite a bit. much of what we're dealing with now is because of some poor decision making on his part, his admins part, and congresses part. add in the housing mess, banking, the terror attacks, etc, it's a wonder we're not in a lot worse shape.
