Does Obama have any credibility to handle the current economic crisis?

What makes people think that he can tackle the housing mess and the Wall Street crisis? |||No, neither candidate does and it is hipe to believe the power of presdiency ever had that power. They never did and congress has the power. Most of the campaign promises do not fall within the power of the u.s. presidency to address. What president since Eisenhower has kept a campaign promise? None. The Bush administration with Congress could have easily prevented the economic recession, but they chose not to. Neither candidate has the ability to change anything and since Franklin D. Roosevelt the administratons


of JFK fought a money war, Carter lost the famly farmers, Reagon crushed unions, Clinton signed NAFTA cancelling Art 4 of the constitution, Bush and his father promoted their interests in the Carlyle Group, as 9th largest defense contractor. Had the elected offical not had financial interests in VietNam, Afghanastan, Iraq, there would have been no war. The U.S. did nothing to help the people of a South American country, who's blood filled the rivers by the millions because they was no oil under their ground. When theres oil involved, then the rights of people are important, but when theres no oil, millions of people can be butchered. I voted for OBama because the granddaughter of Eisenhower endorces him and her knowledge is deep, and goes back to the days when the U.S. was a united country. Thus far she is the only really credible source I have


faith in.


|||The fact that you think this is all being caused by the 'housing mess' means you have no clue what's happening.
