Will it take a PRESIDENT who doesn't consider the private sector the "ENEMY" to get unemployment under 8%?

Yes,along with one who is rational and educated enough to understand the importance of the effects of capialism on the econamy.

yep, Obama sure wont get it

Bush wasn't perfect by any means, I'm pissed about some things he did do and didn't do, but the crash itself? That wasn't Bush at all. There is a long story here, but to make it short housing and fuel prices brought us down, and when you look back it was all done through democrat operatives and billionaire friends of Democrats to do with the Cap & Trade scam, and it was done deliberately. It was just in time for the Obama election.

I know, you think no one could have orchestrated all that, but it was done, the start was under Carter with the Community reinvestment act, Clinton with Fannie & Freddy putting democrat heavy insiders like Gorelick, Daily & Reins among others in and they caused lending problems. The problems were caused by Regulations forcing banks to give out bad loans.

The whole thing was detonated by high gas prices which ground the economy to a stop, which set off foreclosures which caused problems with the biggest form of banking collateral.

That blew up the economy, and it was no stinking accident, it was deliberate and it worked extremely well, and the people who took part should be tried for treason because that's what it was all about, and Soros and his buddies in Europe who control the Fed were the brains and funding behind the whole damned thing. Obama is a figurehead they chose.

That's it in a nut shell, but there is a lot of detail I didn't add to this.

Private sector are the ones who moved the jobs overseas does that make them patriotic Americans. Under the present tax code and the way the market is organized nothing will change no matter who is president. The laws of this country must change very drastically to get us out of this mess.

It will take a President who is not an enemy of the country to do it.

From the mouth of a Marxist punk, Barack Insane Obama. Does this really

surprise anyone, about this man. It certainly should not.

A president and/or a Congress willing to stand up to the president is question.

Obama's problem is that he is in bed with the private sector. He is listening to ignorant republican rhetoric and corporate lobbyists. Until a president who is willing to stand up to moneyed interests and understands economics comes along, the economy will continue to sputter.

Yes. Hussein is the number one "enemy of the state" and should be exiled from the country.

Yes. And a conservative congress.
