we have PBO to have fought and a Democrat congress which made the proper decision to bail out the banks though there could have been better rules on the use of the funds and he made the moves to save our auto industry. Had he have been able to move this country forward and the economy could have recovered except for the congress who hoped for his failure. ACA is still a good thing and will be appreciated in the future.
