The city that he is talking about is New Orleans, which Bush forgot about as soon as the cameras turned off.

Well yeah, Bush had 8 years to get it horribly wrong, Obama won't since I believe he won't win a 2nd term. It really as nothing to do with Obama himself, but rather the way things are now and will be in the next 4 years. "CHANGE" won't be such a nice buzzword when you're starving and homeless or standing on a breadline unemployed and hungry.

Maybe he won't, but I don't think he could possibly become as unpopular as Dubya, the man with the lowest presidential approval rating since they started tracking it.

Obama won't be so popular by March of next year, guaranteed! If anybody knows what's going on in Iceland right now and what happened to Argentina in 2002....well....that's where we are headed.

The stock markets are in for a reality check very soon. Especially with all of the negative data pouring in everyday.

I think Michelle Obama is in a better position to comment about her husband's "big stimmulus package".

We've already had a cowboy who got us into war and recession and almost caused this country to lose a major city. What city did we almost lose?

"In the history of the world, no one has ever washed a rented car." Lawrence Summers said this, he's brilliant, this is the type of guy we need helping the President.

can we at least all agree that President-Elect Obama could totally fit twice as many flags on that stage if he actually tried?

This Economic teams job is to keep as many American as possible from being Unemployed, but judging from the intelligence level of the comments, some Americans are just hopeless lost causes....

Wasn't it Larry Summers that said "Chicks are too stupid for math and science"?

I can't wait for my stimulus check! When do I get the tax cut you promised me President-Elect?

For reasons I can't quite explain, that double chin of Larry Summers is very, very annoying.

Mr Mel

What ever he does will be carefully thought out. We've already had a cowboy who got us into war and recession and almost caused this country to lose a major city. Let's give Obama the chance he deserves and save your comments for a few months.

Somebody tell this schmuck he won the election. No need to make bogus signs/seals for non-existant official offices.
