Its "unintelligent" to speak the truth to you? You are on here critisizing someone who is doing more then you. Thats truth. It gets old when people attack every single thing that man does (as simple as going on a tv show) when they have done nothing but stare at him. Gov Rendell was a staunch Hillary supporter and supported Obama holding his nose. I seen the interview you are talking about, and he came off as catty...when Rendell is President, he can go where ever he likes, untill then he should learn his place in life. These very same people didn't feel the need to dictate to other Presidents where they should go (like when Clinton went on the late night shows, Bush went on Oprah and Biden was just on the View a month ago or so) yet they feel its their place to dictate to Obama where he should go as if he is some 12 year old child? Some of these people cant get over the fact that this President is a different type of politician, young and is trying to bring new things to the office of the Presidency. There are people in this country and in Washington that never respected his Presidency anyways so he should do whatever he feels like doing. On to the "juicy stuff", Bush never signed a stimulus (he gave out stimulus checks towards the end of his Presidency though)..he did however sign into law a tax code with cuts for the top few percent that cost the country trillions of dollars that were unfounded and started two wars at the same time (first time in history any President gave that big of a tax cut in the mist of a war). The President along with everyone on his team have been cautious about this econonmy, this a situation this country has rarely been in, so Bernake wasn't saying anything new. Now lets move on to unemployment since you want to talk about jobs that have been lost, when he stepped into office we were losing 700,000 jobs a month and it was almost on average untill the end of last year...so are you basically blaming that job loss (which had nothing to do with his policies because he just stepped into office) on him? Come on now...people have said all along that the stimulus should have been bigger, when this President talked about jobs or what jobs it should save he was going by what top economist have informed them of. If you go to the CBO site, they point out specifics on job creation or which jobs have been saved. As far as the banks, once again, the Government can only do so much as far as reforms, if this country wants to continue to be greedy and ignorant then it is on them if those banks collapse again..I know all about the Volker rule, he also said that although the bill doesn't have everything he wants they should have still passed it because it is a step forward and needs it, as I said before they still have work to do. Lastly, no one is saying people have to go lock and step with this President, what I am saying is to suggest that he is not trying or working as hard as he can (with the little help he has had) is intellectually dishonest. Please understand that there are an average of people on this site that are college educated (myself included), its nothing new..you are not educated anyone. The man is putting forth the effort, and I will give him credit for it. You have your opinion and I wil stick by mine...this entire country needs to do better instead of just expecting one man to do the job for them.
