The President is in a very, very tough situation. Updated at 6:44 PM
And so is the nation.
Yes, he asked for the job. So did Lincoln and FDR and neither really knew what they were getting into when they took the job. And neither did Barack Obama.
But he has been chosen by history, whether he knows it or not.
Few Presidents have been burdened with such a heavy load. Past decisions of past Presidents and past Congresses have created several dilemmas for our country, the least of which was two wars laid in his lap.
He inherited an economy that was in the process of total collapse. Wall Street and the Big Banks were finally caught up in their trap of greed and corruption.
Homeowners were losing their homes by the millions. The jobless rate was stuck around 10% with no relief in sight.
What could he do? The opposition offered nothing but criticism and roadblocks to everything he attempted. He wanted to be a President that could bring the nation together but the Republicans would not permit it.
The first African-American President sits in a job that is too big for any one man. One thing is for certain. He cannot do anything without the people behind him. Either we must be part of the solution or we are part of the problem. We must recognize the gravity of this dilemma.

What was the UE rate when W left? 5.6% or so? Ok maybe in DUmmyland that is around 10%.
Poor poor Barry it's not his fault his socialist policies haven't helped it's those evil party of NO rethugs.

Chosen by history? Nope. Chosen by idiots? Yes.
-
Chosen by progressives world wide.
-

NO he didn't inherit anything , and he caused the economic crises to happened after he took over. He didn't inherit anything he didn't ask for by campaigning and winning the election for the office. He needs to stop blaming everyone else and take responsibility for HIS actions.
-
Yes, he thrust himself into a tough situation and then proceeded to bend every effort possible to make it worse.

Someone please remind me that when it's time for nominations for Top 10 DUmmies [Primitives] of 2010, to have the bluegrass primitive, the "kentuck" primitive, on my list.
I've meant to nominate the bluegrass primitive three times now, and every time forgot.
One gets so overwhelmed by mass stupidity that he misses things, or omits to remember them.

What a load of shit. Barry Big Ears voted for some of the very things he blames Bush for now so he is not only to blame for whats gone on during his watch but for that as well.

Kentuck has been a very busy primitive of late along with kpete, ben burch has also been putting in a little extra duty for some reason.

Chosen by history? Nope. Chosen by idiots George Soros? Yes.
Fixed.

I'm gonna hurl. Is this really how libTURDs see him?

All I can say is tough shit, Bo.

Good presidents, great presidents, mediocre or lousy presidents are not elected. How they handle and react to any crisis the country faces will determined how they are judged. Years and years may pass before history makes it's final judgment on most. However, Lord Zero has broken that rule, he's a lousy president.

That's racist.
Just thought I'd say it before a DUmmie did.

Let's see,....... :naughty:
When the imposter took office, America was losing a TON of jobs. But yet, he went ahead with HELLCARE instead of focusing on the economy and jobs. Does that make sense you to DUmmie?!?! If it does, you're just another zombie for the imposter. A year wasted on HELLCARE and now what Dummie?! :bird: :censored:

Uh, until Scott Brown was elected in January 2010 the president had a super-supermajority, yet he still could not get anything done.
:bawl:
Sucks when it is Fitzmas 365 isn't it?

Mercy, where to start with this one:

FDR did. He was elected 4 times, twice during WWII, so I say he knew EXACTLY what he was getting into.
And neither did Barack Obama.
Barry doesn't know shit anyway, so how is this different?
But he has been chosen by history, whether he knows it or not.
No he was chosen by DUmbass dimrats due to a catchy slogan and an "official seal". All hopey changy, remember.
Few Presidents have been burdened with such a heavy load. Past decisions of past Presidents and past Congresses have created several dilemmas for our country, the least of which was two wars laid in his lap.
Like I said, FDR was elected twice during WWII, which would make BOTH the wars we are currently fighting look like a Boy Scout camporee.
He inherited an economy that was in the process of total collapse. Wall Street and the Big Banks were finally caught up in their trap of greed and corruption.
Brought on by Bwarney Fwank and Chris DUdd.
Homeowners were losing their homes by the millions. The jobless rate was stuck around 10% with no relief in sight.
Homeowners who bought more house than they could afford were loosing their homes. Nothing new there.
Jobless rate didn't hit "around 10%" until last year. Barry created that one, he didn't inherit it.
What could he do? The opposition offered nothing but criticism and roadblocks to everything he attempted. He wanted to be a President that could bring the nation together but the Republicans would not permit it.
Republicans couldn't stop anything Barry wanted to do, if he could just get them darned dimrats to vote as one. Since when did "criticism" stop a politician from doing what he wanted to do?
The first African-American President sits in a job that is too big for any one man
He's half white, remember. ANY job outside of a "community organizer" is too much for this one man.
One thing is for certain. He cannot do anything without the people behind him. Either we must be part of the solution or we are part of the problem. We must recognize the gravity of this dilemma.
Gravity has nothing to do with it.
Face it. Barry is a total over-educated, under-achieving, incompetent, inexperienced jerk-off loser.

Time to ask the question, whose fault is that.?
Is it the banks that lent the money or the people that who took on more then they could chew.?
Was it the realitors that pushed people to buy homes they could not afford in case one partner became disabled, was it not the realitors that pushed for buyers and built dream castles in their heads.
Hubby and I dealt with quite a few realitors before buying our home. We had a good size down payment and good credit so financing was no problem for us.
These realitors kept taking us to homes that wowed us, in ground pools and fancy smancy kitchens, they knew we could not afford the morgage if one of us lost our job but still kept pushing for us to ----imagine the family around the diningroom table at the hollidays.
It is only human nature to want something we have never had before, and when encouraged to not think of the future but just now and one can have their dream come true, what the Hell I may as well get mine now as tomorrow I could die in an auto accident.
As careful as we were in buying our home we still were in for a shock, at the signing we found out the interest rate was at 12% and was not locked in. We had been told the interest was 7% origionally.
We had never thought to go to the town hall and inquire about our tax rate as we were told it was part of the morgage, not so. No one had told us we were a Donner town and at least $1,000 per year was added to our taxes.
What a mess, we did some fast work on the calculator and found with all the crap we did not expect we could still own the home as long as just one of us was working.
So we bought our home and 15 years later sure enough one of us has the load as I am not working and waiting for SS.
Lots of stuff goes into buying a house, I cannot realy blame the banks for All the problems, had we listened to the realitors we would now be living under a bridge somewhere.
I am not bashing Realitors here, their job is to sell homes nothing more, but some in the profession are real skanks and for first time home buyers in an area it is easy to fall under the spell of being able to live in the home of their dreams.
-
Vesta -- my experience with realtors now is that you give them a price range and they give you a list of houses within that range. They usually start showing you houses on the high end of your range if you allow them to, but honestly like everything else you need to do your own due diligence and call the shots.

The people who took on more than they could chew.
You have to know your own limits. If not, too damned bad.

Indeed - however, EVERY president is in a tough situation, every day of their time in office. Obama seems to have come in unprepared for reality, and seems to have expected to ride a wave of love & goodwill for eight years.

I'm surprised the kentuck primitive was able to type that much with his head firmly planted in Dear Leader's lap.

I'll just come out and say he isn't fit to be POTUS in the first place! He's an imposter. :censored:
-
I'm gonna hurl. Is this really how libTURDs see him?
Yep! "El DoucheBag"!
And I wanna know how takin' a vacation every other week is a "tough" situation??????????

Doing exactly that, knowing our limits, is what kept my wife and I out of potentially doing something stupid with getting into a home of our own . . . and then maybe losing it.
