What kind of president would go to a foreign country and tell them that the US wants to be their best petroleum buyer??? Hello, we have our own petro under US soil and he goes to Brazil to tell them to dig for more oil. I thought he wanted to create jobs, oh wait he is, just not for people in this country.... And BTW, since Obama took office, this country has lost 3million+ jobs. The US economy requires 100k new jobs each month just to sustain our population. In my opinion, Obama has not proven to be a true patriot....because he definitely hasn't done much to improve the position of this economy. And if you think that this whole economy crash just happened and it was inevitable, you have much learning to do, economics 101.... I'm still waiting for Obama to go on a US tour to find out what he can do to jump start our economy, until then I'll believe he doesn't like America....

Obama is going to go down in history as the worst president ever!!! Too bad that he happens to be of a non white skin pigment....

The problem with "Obama bashing" following the the midst of the biggest financial recession since the 1930's is that it is nothing short of disingenuous. Not only did government revenue as a % of GDP fall from it's historical average band of 18.5%-20% to 14% while social safety nets (which are designed to catch those who truly fall) were swollen from 10% unemployment.

Therefore, you cannot cut government spending during this stage of the recovery without invoking another recession which is why your argument is quite invalid.
