How is that his fault and if the biggest experts in the world were unable to stop it then how was he supposed to? And don't give me the he should have nuked it response. Amazing how in two years the right has forgotten about "drill baby drill" and now the BP situation is suddenly the fault of a Democrat.

i don't think criticism about the oil spill is valid. criticism of him and things he has control over are valid, and there are seemingly plenty of things to fault him for in that regard. what coach is saying is that the problems obama took over were huge, and that it will take huge effort to overcome them. eight years of mistakes can't be undone in a year and a half. but at this point, i think, and others do as well, that there hasn't been enough of a move made. we'll see how things go moving forward, but right now it seems we're treading water, not moving up or down.

again 8 yrs of mistakes in innacurate

bush/greenspan continued the same economic policies as clinton / greenspan

the bush tax cuts created more revenue than ever before for the country

to say 8 yrs of mistakes in innacuart

Iraq was not invaded until 2003

The Senate and House were controlled by the Democrats for 2 yrs of the 6 that Bush was in office 07 and 08

Bush won re-election in '04 , up to that point things weren't as bad as people make them out to be.

The housing market crashed in the summer of '06 and that was the end of the easy credit bubble for the american consumer and we are now going on 4 yrs of tough economic times
