Heh, true but I would guess that is the test of all leaders. Back in 2001, you may not have particularly liked Bush, but would anyone have imagined that his Presidency would have turned out the way it did?

No probably not, although given how Bush's Presidency started, I didn't have high hopes for him running the country effectively. Obama's already 10x the President Bush ever was. I think his greatest downfall will be that some people expect too much of him. I also think his greatest challenge will be controlling the Congressional Democrats.

Madness I tell ya, not sure how long this can keep up.

Financial Rescue Nears GDP as Pledges Top $12.8 Trillion (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

March 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.

New pledges from the Fed, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. include $1 trillion for the Public-Private Investment Program, designed to help investors buy distressed loans and other assets from U.S. banks. The money works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circulation. The nation’s gross domestic product was $14.2 trillion in 2008.

It's the nature of small minded people to belittle those who try to do great things. Trying anything is better than trying nothing, and Obama is definitely trying anything.

Solutions to massive spending?

That's like 12x what Bush Jr. Spent and 13x all other presidential spending prior to Bush Jr.

Do you have any real solutions to the mess Bush got us in? No? Then get the fuck out like he did.
