It seems to me Obama kind of made the same mistake that Bush did in 2000. Bush ran basically on a platform that there was a coming recession and his tax cuts were the only wa to fix it. He scared the hell out of people and had a very difficult time getting their confidence back. Obama basically did the same. He talked a lot of about how the economy was collapsing (and it was) and how ugly things were getting. So he drilled fear and trouble into everyone's head and now he has the uphill fight of trying to get them back to being confident and spending money.
