But, in my opinion, Bush earned his blame for a lot of things (I'm not saying everything). And the stock market has been unstable for quite some time. Hardly Obama's fault. Yet I bet people will blame him...the media headlines make it sound that way. |
Doesn't every President have something to be blamed for? It seems to come with the office. I don't envy the person that sits in that seat. I couldn't do it for all the money in the world.
(Although Presidents do seem like quarter-backs in football. Even though the President has to answer to other areas of government, whatever happens - win or lose - ends up on his shoulders. All the glory or all the hate.

Media headlines - Lordy! Does ANY form of media EVER tell the real truth? Is there any form of media that doesn't twist and turn and skew issues around so much, the truth gets buried?
I wasn't for Obama. But he is here now and I respect his position. I pray he will be guided to help this country at least back on track to being on it's feet. I have no idea if he can do it or not, NO ONE does. The future is unwritten. I watched the inauguaration at work and I'm glad I did. I was very interested and it was time well spent.
