You know whats funny about this question is that you and like so many other americans think obama destroyed the economy. Yall act like bush made the economy great and every body was rich and than obama came in office and than BAM the economy went to crap and everybody is now poor..Do you not remember that bush is the one who put us in this crap hole? I dont support obama but I just hate it when people talk about obama as if he is the one that is responsible for the slip in the economy..You people are blinded and need to get yalls head out of yalls asz!
