During the last days of the Bush administration, when he and his Treasury Secretary went to Congress and told them the American economy would collapse overnight without a government bailout of the major financial institutions, I thought the end of the US as a world power had come to a point of no return.
However, Obama has done a good job of putting the brakes on the downhill slide into the abyss of no return the Republicans had pushed us into.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that Obama submitted to Congress and was passed, kept us from going into a full scale depression. It allocated $757 billion to the states to create or retain 595,000 jobs, and rebuild the infrastructure, and extend unemployment benefits.
There is still a long way to go to get to an ideal situation. That will take several more years. But he is going in the right direction.

What are you talking about?!
Unemployment reached the highest ever last year, 16% and getting higher.
The so called stimulas packages is a fiasco, no one knows where the money went. The banks did not accept the money. The car business has not improved at all. The real estate is getting worse by the month.
This so called American and Reninvestment Act is hurting our Dollar badly, because the national deficit is out of control.
The tiny country Israel is doing very well, many Western European countries are on their way to recovery.
You will see your taxes next year, it doesn't matter in which tax bracetts are you in, they will go up and up.....
No, we are in trouble with this ignorant president who's only aim is to satisfy his buddies the Muslims.
And, we know how terrible the Islamic countries are doing.
