Let's face it, the Obama administration was handed a pretty poor deal from the previous administration.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An Obama administration desperate to strike a deal is likely to strike a bad one.
Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.
Poor people and working people have not been the focus of the Obama administration. That for me is not just a disappointment but a kind of betrayal.
Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safe.
Obama has so mismanaged the economy.
It's disappointing that President Obama - who ran for office in 2008 saying he was going to be a fiscally responsible president - has caused the largest deficits and the largest debt in American history.
When Mr. Obama entered office, he said all the right things about getting Washington spending under control. He even promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Obviously, that didn't happen.
You could argue that Barack Obama faced in '08 a situation as bad as any president since the Great Depression. What Obama inherited from the Bush administration, we all remember, was just an absolute global catastrophe.
The debt they ran up in the first year of the Obama administration is bigger than the last four years of the Bush combined.
The last six months of the Bush administration lost four million jobs and the first six months of the Obama administration lost another four million before any initiatives of the president could take action.
