I think he's doing the best he can right now. He inherited a gigantic clusterf*ck, no matter which way you look at it. He got wars, an economy in the tank, etc. I don't even care who started it. But the problem is that it's sit idly by and watch it crumble, or try to do something about it. I'm a bigger fan of spending lots of money out of desperation to try to get something to work to turn things around (ie, now), than I am of spending lots of money out of things we just plain old feel like doing (ie, before now). I don't have a knee-jerk aversion to spending money in an attempt to stimulate the economy out of desperation in the same way that conservatives have no knee-jerk aversion to spending money to invade other countries. We just see things differently.
Can't know how it's going to turn out, and he's spending an awful lot of money, but I'm going to reserve judgment for the time being because it's not like he walked into a piece of cake.
