I’m no Obama fan but the truth of the matter is that it wouldn’t have mattered if a Republican, Democrat or Independent was the President the past couple of years. Everything playing out now and the past few years were things set in motion already. VERY little of it could have been changed off it’s course.
I do think Obama could have done some things differently but he couldn’t really have changed the destiny of all the horrible things going on in the economy and the fallout from years of “sins” from Wall Street.
