We screwed you. Thanks for blaming the black guy.

Poor man, the notion that Obama was going to lead America to promised land, only shows us the gullibility of most of American. What did they expect Obama to do considering that the economy was already in ruins.

it seems a bit wrong for someone not from the US to comment on their politics, though if anyone from another country wants to say anything mean about the UK prime minister david cameron, i really don't mind. but yes it does seem a bit unfair that obama is getting the blame for the economy when most of what went wrong happened under bush, though the glass steagal repeal actually happened while clinton was president. but the problem its seems to me is about income distribution, rather than reducing taxes for the rich. i read a really interesting thread about food shelves recently on mylot, and i suspect one of the reasons the US isn't going to get out of this mess is to do with the lack of welfare payments, unless you had a good job, when you get a proportion of your income for a while. but there seem to be a lot of people just struggling to survive, and so it creates a downward cycle. but obama has probably failed to direct economic stimuli in the right direction, using i think, from what i've read, supply side solutions. but then i don't see how he could deal with the inequality issue, as there is no political will for that sort of thing, i suspect.but anyway its all too long and complicated for a mylot comment. but you're right, he really should not be getting the blame.

CAN'T comment on this one! AM still living under the mentally challenged, dictorial regime of the Gordon Campbell Liberals (I know, now Christie Clark) same pack of wolves, different clothes! Don't feel I can "cross border" political rancor....when there is such a mess at home! Need to clean my house before I can question others!

I welcome those outside the US chiming in with their opinions about what is happening in the US political scene. I'm surprised though, most Canadians feel America is a great place. Heard one of your fellow country men on Mark Levin's show and he was truly scared for America due to the insane economic and foreign policies of this administration. I don't truly get what you mean when you say 'roasted' the US... As for Obama taking blame, I see him trying to shift the blame. All we ever hear from him is apologies for the past administration's policies to other countries and when it comes to any economic problem, it's all Bush's fault...STILL. Even after three + years he still can't own the mess we've been in. And btw, Clinton is responsible for the bubble bursting, he's the one who demanded affordable housing for everyone, even those with very poor credit ratings. http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/hotproperty/archives/2008/02/clintons_drive.html
