In reply to the discussion: What do you think Barack Obama will be doing 5 years from now [View all]Algernon Moncrieff
(5,845 posts)18. Let's say a Democrat is elected and Obama is agreeable - he could be on the bench for 30 years
SCOTUS would be awesome.
The reality is, he stopped the economic crash that was going to match the Great Depression.
You said it. I didn't necessarily agree with the way the stimulus money was spent, but he did pretty well with the flaming wreckage he inherited, and it bothers me a lot that people seem to be forgetting what f***ed up conditions Barack Obama inherited from Junior Bush.
