yes, the root of these problems was bush (and clinton, and bush sr, and reagan. but not carter)

obama gave a boatload of money to the people who caused this, with no strings attached. would mccain have done the same? sure

obama's done nothing to address the worker displacement visas, and he pushed forward yet another 'freee trade agreement' with s korea (and mccain would have done the same)

the money to wall street diluted the value of the dollar, and the results are at the gas pump

so yeah, even though mccain would have been even worse (on iran in particular), my praise otherwise for obama is pretty darned faint
