58 posts before a bushwhack? it's wearing off, at least
Your comment aside, my comment is correct. Obama has not been able to cope with the mess Bush handed to him.
It was not like Obama was caught by surprise by what was waiting for him when he came into office. The economic meltdown began in early September and continued through the election and up till Obama was sworn in. Obama was sworn in January 20th 2009 that is almost 5 months after this started now that is not a huge amount of time but it is enough for him to be better prepared than he was nor does it change the fact the policies he implemented have been mediocre at best. I won't blame Obama for what happened under Bush but nor will I blame Bush for what has happened under Obama.
What's your point? That the mess is that massive, with much dependency on global economic matters? Then, yes, Obama has been unable to handle the Bush mess. I hope Romney will do better.
