Any trained monkey could have gotten us into this position. And any fucking trained monkey would be able to get us out of it - it's just going to take some time.
People have unreasonable expectations.

Is it really unreasonable to expect a better economic turnaround when the administration protested and protested that the economic stimulus would provide "immediate results?" They constantly said "immediate results." Now they keep saying "well, what we really meant was by the end of 2010."
Obama is trying to change way too many things in way too short of a time frame. It's going to backfire, it already is in some respects. A lot of the "ideas" are good, but many are not practical. And instead of ironing them out so that we get a good fix that actually works, they want to shove legislation through the pipe before there is "too much" opposition... on energy, on health care, on the credit system reform, on finance reform...
Time to slow down and take the bipartisan approach he has spoke about over and over again.
