I don't get one thing from what now seems a majority in the US.

Why do people think that Obama's actions will take effect right from the get-go, or at least within the year?! Has no one ever learned antyhing about economic cycles?

Investments take time to come to fruitition. If you want to set up something new, it requires a lot of planning, checking, re-planning, trialing and implementing. If you want to change something it will have to go through all the same cycles.

Let me give an example. The company I used to work for desired a new system that would make patient-administration more streamlined. This new system functions exactly the same, it only looks different and has a few new display-options. With all the talks, creating it, testing it, etc it has now taken 2 years from conception to implementation. And this is just a "simple" piece of software in a company. Now imagine re-shaping healthcare for a whole fucking country.

I'd say that you can only judge a government after three years - and even that is pushing it. You can criticize immidiate actions or reactions from the government - like a war, but you can't judge them for trying to do something new or change a feature.

Funny, that's what my Economics, Stock Market, and A.P. U.S. History teachers told me. But they can't be right only tea party extremists with little to no economic knowledge can give accurate statements concerning economic cycles.......duh.
