Even with the half truths that are true, then Obama is still the worst president we have EVER had. The last 3 years, he can't blame Bush. This continuing bad economy is HIS now. He is a Fabian Socialist is the best of conditions. Combine that with his black liberation teaching from Rev. Wright for 20 years, and you have a bad mix. He doesn't have many in his high cabinet and understudy positions that have EVER ran a business or have been in business for themselves. They are from liberal acedemia, government teaching jobs, or trial lawyers. Never worked for any private business, or for themselves. This is his major problem. Government can't create the PRIVATE jobs that we need to get out of this mess. More environmental regulations, regulations that are not business and job friendly. At the very least, he should go back to the 2008 spending levels, and reintroduce the laws before 1998 for the banking industry. He needs to open up drilling in Alaska, build the natural gas pipeline back through Canada. Give incentives (tax cuts) for business to bring back the manufacturing jobs, raise the retirement age for younger people. Reagan gave tax cuts for every employee hired back in the 80's. It worked. He also created the 401(k) plan that allows individuals to save for retirement so they don't have to totally depend on social security. That also worked. Even if you taxed 100% of everything the top 10% of rich people make, you would only run the government for 2 months. They will just put their money overseas, which is what they are doing now. We need to also build coal gasification plants to make synthetic diesel. If we stopped importing oil, half our trade deficit would dissapear leaving this money in the US with the subsequent jobs they create. With tax breaks and incentives for business, manufacturing would return to the US. Did you know shoe making left the US several years ago because the EPA outlawed the glue they used to make shoes. Hmmm, this was before the "Great Recession" we are having.
