Of course Obama had inherited the biggest economic mess since the Great Depression. And he stabilized the economy but thanks to the GOP the recovery has been less than robust. If it had been the GOP in control of WH I wonder how many hard hit Americans would have gotten extensions on unemployment benefits or food stamps, both of which they have railed against.
