    Default Voters blame president most for slow economic recovery

    Two-thirds of likely voters say the weak economy is Washington’s fault, and more blame President Obama than anybody else, according to a new poll for The Hill.
    It found that 66 percent believe paltry job growth and slow economic recovery is the result of bad policy. Thirty-four percent say Obama is the most to blame, followed by 23 percent who say Congress is the culprit. Twenty percent point the finger at Wall Street, and 18 percent cite former President George W. Bush.





    The results highlight the reelection challenge Obama faces amid dissatisfaction with his first-term performance on the economy.

    They should take away that freakin noble peace prize he got when he was elected that was the stupidest thing I had ever heard of in my entire life the fucker winning that prize for what winning the election or for being on the 1st presidential ticket to have a black man and a woman running? Oh wait I forgot the same thing happened like 100 years ago with Fredrick Douglas and some chick named Victoria woodsumptin(I think that was her name).

    well 2 years to fix the 8 before doesnt seem fair. Sure, hes no messiah, but atleast we are moving in the right direction.

    U want a fast recovery? drop all the regulations on businesses (like the republicans want) and then what? hope corporations dont fuck us again? no thanks. i choose regulations, slow recovery, and firm ground to walk on.

    The one thing he did get passed, half the nation doesn't want. The guy is a puppet, he is more obvious than past puppets because the economy is so bad more people are paying attention. I am tired of him telling me that corporations and rich people are to blame then he turns around and puts them in charge.

    Are we? Only a minority agrees with you. Most think we're in a stagnant gridlock that wont be resolved until he is out.

    unfortunately this is true. Capital is on strike. We can expect another market crash late this year if it looks like more of the same. People will pull profits out now, under present tax rates to avoid what could be billions in tax increases. Too much uncertainty in the markets right now to make long term plans.

    Pretty sure it will be either Bush or the new guys fault though.

    The economy is the Fed Reserves Domain. Presidents don't have the kind of power it takes to make a world economy start humming along.

    Looking at what the hell Obama walked into its no surprise,It was Bush with the great disapproval rating back then,Now its Obama hes in office taking the public heat and being the figure head that he has to be,while it makes one wonder if there are any kickbacks financialy to being the hated one in office,maybe there is maybe there isnt,you certainly dont see our former presidents filing for bankruptcy or having a default on a morgage,.Basicaly the payed matador,being puppeted by the majority of the house and others behind the scenes I dare say,while taking the public frustration head on.Then how can anyone hope to make sense out what is going on with our leadership in this country?

    True but when you hit all the large employers with new medical cost and promise to raise taxes they aren't going to just start spending money. Hell I am a little guy in all this and I am even leery of another 4 years of uncertainty.

    Presidents play a secondary role. We are presently in a liquidity trap because the Fed has lowered rates as much as possible and haven't been able to cause another bubble to pull out of our malaise (holy shit Keynesian economics is tarded).

    The reason the president plays a role is because Bernanke is safe as long O is prez so we can expect some sort of quantitative easing around Labor Day, enough to prop up a false economy long enough to get us through the elections.

    People will cheer.
