Grading the President

I think it's too soon to grade him. The US is a large, large machine that needs time to make a turnaround. I'll grade him in another year or so....

 

Well, it was not so much Obama as the actions of Bernanke, Geithner and the numerous and almost unlimited powers of the Fed that pulled us back from the brink of another great depression. I do wish more people would raise their awareness and understanding of the Fed and the insane amount of influence this PRIVATE ENTITY has on our economy, and the fiscal and monetary policies of our country. The Fed, and to some degree the treasury, truly has their foot on the gas pedal and brakes of all things financial in this country, including the woeful job of regulation over the years.

 

Loki, excellent post.

 

Damn, even the Fox News crowd gave Obama an "A" for his first year given what he was facing and had to work with.
