If Obama couldn't do it in over 3 years what made us think Bush could in the 3 months he had left in his term?

You think it's all his fault? I'm not an Obama supporter but what can he do when the cry baby Congress is divided. Reps and dems are both idiots. These idiots in Washington need to be overthrown and executed

Bush would not have solved this crisis even if he had a 100 years, neither would Obama. The basic fact is that the crisis exists in the first place because we have a market-based, profit-centred economic system.

The more profit is made, the less employees are paid. The less employees are paid, the less people can spend. The less people can spend, the less they buy. The less they buy, the less is produced. The less is produced, the fewer jobs there are. The fewer jobs there are, the less people can buy... and so on and so forth.

Reagan's solution to this problem was let people borrow more money from banks - that wasn't a real solution though, and now we're stuck with a crisis based on debt.

Only putting wealth into the hands of average people (through government programs) and removing the drain of profit from large-scale industry (through nationalisation) can reverse the crisis, bcause those are the only policies that address the root cause.

Neither Bush nor Obama can do it - they both have the same sorts of policies. Solving the economic crisis would require steps such as truly progressive taxation, nationalisation of some industries, strengthening welfare and government programs such as medicare etc.

Even if Obama had more years, which he does not come November Democrats still would blame Bush and say that Obama did a great job. Its all turning a blind eye to what he is doing
