The Economy

Without fixing the economy first, I doubt Obama can move ahead with plans for universal health care, etc.

Last night on the news I noted that there are many people willing to buy cars but they cannot get the car loans!  Isn't that what the bailout money was for--making credit available to consumers to get the economy moving?  It is why Chrysler has to shut its doors for a month creating a spiral of unemployment benefits requests, people who will have to dip into savings or those on the brink of foreclosure may be tipped over the edge.

Bush and his cabinet have been a disaster for this country; Obama is going to have to be a miracle worker to haul us out of the mess Bush has created.  He and all his cabinet should be prosecuted, jailed and have the keys thrown away!
