Really? Because the Depression of 1921 was far more severe than our current downturn and was over within a year. The solution is simple. Allow interest rates to rise, allow businesses to fail, and let the economy restructure. The restructure will happen. Current policy is only prolonging the restructuring process and creating regime uncertainty.Some will go to their graves claiming Obama was the worst President of all time. Others will go to their graves claiming he was the messiah or at least a damned good representation of the Messiah to come.
The fact is that it is too early to tell and it will be for a long, long time. Much of the troubles he is facing are not of his doing while some of it he is directly responsible for.
But, quite frankly, I would love to see this President pull a rabbit out of a hat and turn this economy around before the end of his first term. Not going to happen, but I can dream... can't I? And for the record, I don't think any of the past Presidents could fix the mess we have gotten ourselves into in that short of time.
