Some talking head on one of the Fox shows yesterday said that whether anyone will admit to it....the US essentially has 2 presidents right now.
President Bush is taking care of what's going on in the mid east....Iraq, A-stan, P-stan, India, and now the Gaza/Israeli mess.
Whereas Obama has seemingly taken over the economic situation.
If you think about it....Obama is very visible with talking about what he's going to do with the economy, but is basically silent regarding anything in the mid east.
