Such as cleaning up the disastrous mess left by Bush?
And further worsening the mess...

How? Reversing the jobs bleed he walked in on?
Yes.
Give me some time and I'll give a detailed breakdown of my view of Obama's failed presidency, and try to provide links as well.
I'm not saying he hasn't done a few things right.
What platform did he run on - "Yes we can", "Change we can believe in".
What has he delivered - absolutely nothing of the kind, zero, zilch. If anything he offered less change.
Don't get me wrong, while that angers me, that he told bold faced lies (promises of change) to get into office, it's what he's done while in that position. Fool me once.....
And?
Not delivering on a promise is not a lie. It's a failure to deliver on a promise.
If someone promises to be somewhere by a certain time but a traffic jam results in them being late, does that make them a liar?
Traffic jam=republican congressmen

Yes but there was a difference with Obama's campaign, it literally ran on the promise of change.
Hitting out at Bush, at the lobbyists, at big business and banks.
What did he do? Absolutely **** all. Nothing, zero, zilch, he done what every other president before him done. Sucked up to the lobbyists, bailed out the banks and not only extending Bush's policies, but adding onto and reinforcing them.
He's the biggest fraud because he promised the biggest change; it's what spear-headed his campaign. I bought into it as well.
If you honestly believe that, then you are quite delusional. Is he an overwhelming game changer like he promised? No. Did he contribute a lot to restoring a damage America? Yes. Don't kid yourself, he is no saviour to America but he has done a lot given the short period of time, the crisis he inherited and the Republicans trying to block everything he does.

Does anyone on the planet want the Reps to win - apart from the Reps ?
The economic collapse is still to happen imo. It will get here faster with republicans in power.
The system is screwed though and non of these parties are interested in change. So both parties are useless.
Which?
