If he wasn't up to it he shuddn'ta took the job, I bet most voters are tired of the "I inherited" whining.

Since he's turned the job loss trend around, I'd say he was up to it.
Bottom line - a year into his reign and unemployment is now double digits

And two years into Reagans reign we were up to 10.8%. Reagan was given time to reverse the economy and Obama still has three years.
So far, he has made remarkable improvement.

In case you missed it, the economy was chugging along just fine until the Dems managed to get control of congress. So, that would be the Democrat recession that has been the worse in the past 70 years.Fucking Bush..
Just shows the impact of the worst recession in 70 years that the REPUBLICANS gave us,
Thankfully, we elected a president who took decisive steps and reveresed a potentially crippling economic collapse
Let's see, Clinton passed a steady 3.9% UE rate to Bush and Bush passed a steadily RISING 7.2% rate to Obama.Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Sliced another way (why not, you're doing it) when Booooooosh took over in Jan 2001 it was 4.2 and was 4.6 in Jan 2007 when the democrat controlled congress took over the purse strings... A rise of 0.4...
Since Jan 2007 it went from 4.6 to 10.0... A rise of 5.4...
Good job with jobs, democratics....

If there was no law passed over the GOP's record number of filibusters, and there wasn't, then the Bush economy crashed from its own inertia.

Are you saying the democratics didn't control the pursestrings from Jan 2006 to present?
Are you saying no gubmint money was spent during that time?
Or are you just saying that the democratics were just flaccid and ineffectual against a decidedly MINORITY, out of power bunch of wet noodle republicans? (oh, and evil Boooooosh must be blamed for all job losses since the democratics took over?)
