This is one thing that should have happened years ago. Now Obama is fixing Bush's mess.

You honest to god think what he is saying is actually going to happen?

Since everything was supposedly Bush's fault, why the fuck have the Democrats who were in power of Senate and House since 2007 not fixed stuff already.  They have had 4 years already!!!!  If people are going to continue fucking blaming the republicans and bush for wreaking everything, then fucking fix it.  You have had 4 years, and have shown you do not have the ability to fix it either.

Do you know how big the defecit is? Do you really think it will take ONE term for the economy to be back on it's feet again? It took around three terms to ruin the economy, so it will take more to fix it. It's not ike the democrats sit around and do nothing. 

You are right. They've greatly increased the rate of which we're going into the deficit since they were elected to a majority in both the house and senate in 2006.

It may take more than 1 term to get things done, but we've seen that between Bush and Obama, you can really screw a country up in 4 or 6 years. We could likely do a lot of great austerity measures in 4 or 8 years with the right people.
