"The Obama administration has not made America any better" Seems to me that the republicans are finally fessing up that the country was in terrible shape when Bush left office. I know, I know but the problems stemmed from the Clinton administration before that...yeah, right!! Unfortunatly, that is a hard pill to swallow since we had a balanced budget, since we have no particular potential enemies to speak of and basically everyone who wanted a home, got a home, as long as they were in stable footing. During the Bush admin. yes, people got a home but what a disaster it was when those loans, started to waterdown the housing market (unsecured loans). Ha! I'll pay you Tuesday for a house today...people lost their homes!! I don't like paying higher prices for taxes, gas, food but those "quicksand" foundations that Bush left us, did just that, sink us. Barack Obama is giving us a big pill to swallow but it's a pill that we need to take because of the cold that was inflicted on us in the first place...republicans are convieniently forgeting that...the egg before the chicken, chums...
