Final-Fan, Give Obama time, I am sure he will do as many things to piss you off as Bush did.

What seems like a stupid decision at the time, may end up being the most brilliant decision ever made by a president.  That's why basic History courses only go up to about 30 yrs before present day, because it is hard to interprete and cast judgement on history until it "becomes" history

 

I don't have the time or energy to respond to all of this, but I assume with the quote I left behind, you have yet to criticize the war in Iraq? I mean we still need to wait 20 something years before we know if it was a good idea or not.

I think mmnin is right, but the opposite can be true also.  The general public loved Roosevelt (elected him 4 times after all), but now we realize that his policies that was supposed to fix the economy was what caused the great depression and also prolonged it.  The saying "hindsight is 20/20" is very true.
