whats the country going to do if the obama cant jump start the economy?

Fate could be similar to that of the former Soviet Union.

If it doesn't want to slide into a Zimbabwe-style hell-hole where powerful people and their cronies systematically trash their competitors while living designer life-styles, the country (and the world) will have to reinvent money.

Not the empty paper promises based on short-selling, derivatives, bad debts and printing bonus options with a load of noughts.

Real money, based on things worth buying, made honestly by honest folk doing a decent day's work, and getting rewarded for its value, rather than what they can squeeze out of the system.

And these honest folk, instead of obscene celebrity values based on instant ecstasy, and a house of cards of fashion statements, would pride themselves on how they lift those around them to humane levels of living, and who knows - the capacity themselves to contribute to the national and international pot of increasing wealth.

Its no doubt that the economy wont have a jump start in his first term, he kinda hinted that all ready, America's technology sector has to get better so that we can start buying american and bring some manufacturing Industries back

Probably just sit by and let him throw another 700-800 billion at it like last week.

Probably cease to exist.
