just brainstorming:::;
housing- not better
banking- not better, it's worse (business as usual, loaded with cash)
jobs- well, it's my understanding that the stim package has saved jobs, perhaps not created them but many believe ~3+ million jobs have been saved. so perhaps there is something he has helped. but there's no consensus on this being fact.
stock market- the true test will be this 2nd 1/2 of 2010 + 2011, imo, so...
this is just my feelings on the matter, the oil disaster really changed my views on the guy. i never had a boner for the obama but i did give him 1.5 years...and now with MMS and the gulf, i feel like giving up onhim, i really do.

I still don't feel like Obama has made anything worse than it already was. But I do think that all those "economists" and "experts" and fortune tellers flat out lied to everyone when they said "Oh, the recession is over, recovery is here, everyone rejoice now and go shopping." It's bs and it always was bs. Things aren't "worse".... they never got any better to begin with. Banking is banking... obviously they live in their own separate reality than the rest of us and can do as they please. BP? Well he got $20 bil out of them so far.... that's a good start. But jobs, and money, and housing are going to be on the rocks for many years to come. Doesn't matter who's sitting in the Pres. chair.
