I do, however, applaud the President's handling of the situation in Afghanistan. Bringing more troops into the country was the right thing to do, and I hope Obama can continue to do what is necessary to win that war despite enormous pressure from the left to bring the troops home. The troops want to stay and win the war--and we are perfectly capable of doing so.

Obama Prediction for 2010
Overall, I do not think that the Obama administration is taking this country in the right direction. The biggest issue where he has gone wrong for me is dealing with the economic downturn. We are spending far too much money that will only put us into more debt, not bring us out of this recession. Government spending did not work in the Great Depression, where unemployment was still at 15% in 1940 (eight years after the launch of the New Deal), and it won't work now. I hope Obama sees that his spending is not working and stops before it hurts any more generations to come.

I agree with you on the economic downturn. Government spending is way too high and it is putting the United States into a greater debt then it already is. I agree that it is very similar to the Great Depression in the spending didn't work then and it won't work now either. But Obama did promise in his campaign that he would try to help the US out of the economic downturn, so hopefully by the end of his term the economy will be in a better position than it is now.
ReplyDeleteEmile had a well thought out response, i agree with his views about the economy. I think Obama is too good at speaking and not quite effective at actually fixing the domestic issues themselves, his administration seems unsure abourt what is going on because the irresponsible spending continues along with the worsening state of the recession
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting if the great depression ended or not?...Yeah, that's right, it did. Government spending leads to citizens spending, which hopefully leads to a boosted economy. It's at least a start. There aren't a lot of options available.
