All this is true; but do you want to return control to the party who caused the mess?
You're like the abused wife who goes back to the abuser because the shelter wasn't very pretty.
Reagan had a mess to fix too, and unemployment went up when he started. It was 7.4% when he started (in February '81 - I give them the last few weeks of January). In August of '82 (Obama's equivalent), the unemployment rate under Reagan was 9.8%. Under Reagan, it would continue to go up to 10.8% before it would begin its downward trend. And it was not until November of 1987 that he got it under 6%.

Reagan also saw a HUGE increase in the deficits during his tenure.

Back then, were you as angry about growing unemployment and increasing deficit spending?
I'm just saying. If you were angry at Reagan because of those things, then you can be upset at Obama, too.
They were each dealt a crappy economy and they each did things to try to fix them, and in both cases, fixing it took longer than they thought. They're not the same and I'm not claiming it, but the similarities of their early terms are striking.
I, personally, didn't expect things would turn pretty right away. I think any American who did (party aside) is pretty delusional. How do you recover from the worst decade since the Great Depression?
