What economic miracle would be possible announcements of a recession were witheld until the end of elections even.
It seems to me that some people believed Obama would make the unemployment rate 1% and we'd be economically flourishing right now. I wasn't expecting either, so I'm okay with his presidency thus far.What economic miracle would be possible announcements of a recession were witheld until the end of elections even.

Instead it shot up to 9.1%
He has taken everything that Bush did that he was criticized for and magnified it exponentially. He is one of the most blatant pro-imperialist, anti-working class presidents that we have had in decades, possibly worse than Reagan.

Im not sure whether he as executive is capable of even structurally implementing any help to the working class. As for the American 'empire'... well if you live in a house you maintain it, unfortunately.
Yes I'm sure the Obama administration had absolutely nothing to do with giving billions of dollars to banks who caused the worst economic crisis in global history, completely failing to make any meaningful regulatory changes along the way.
Stalin was just a pawn the purges weren't his fault he just wanted to expel them from the party, honest!
that's a really ****ty analogy.

Lesser of the two evils is still evil.
Not really. The idea that a prominent political figure is just a helpless victim of his own circumstances, powerless to enact change, is common among both the Stalinist and pro-Obama crowd. I consider them equally delusional, too.
This is how i see Obama from everyone point of view...
Extreme Conservatives (Tea Party): Obama is a socialist, nazi, fascist, communist, liberal muslim, he has done nothing right and everything is his big evil fascist nazi governments fault.
Conservatives: Obama sucks he has done nothing right.
Moderate Republicans: Ehh i can agree with some of the things he has done but he is still not a lot better, i agree that he inherited a sh*t hole but he has tried ill give him that.
Centrists: He is alright. Has some stuff to work on.
Blue Dogs: I hate his economic policy but everything else is alright.
Democrats: Almost the same as blue dogs except they agree with a bit more of his economic policy.
Liberals: Barack Obama is awesome! We love everything about him even his interventionist foreign policy even tho we hated that in the Bush administration!
Leftists: Obama is the lesser of two evils. Dont agree with his economic policy that much. Hate his foreign policy. Pussed out on basically everything.

Grass is always greener on the other side bro.
Stalin had powers that Obama doesn't.
Unless Obama gets re-elected.

It was the same as it was before. I thought he was a Chicago politician who couldn't be trusted and wouldn't act terrible different from George Bush. And lo and behold, he did not disappoint.
