7. You know how Obama has been criticized for being too pessimistic, so then the Dow drops? |
|
I say that he's being realistic and that it's not the job of POTUS to blow sunshine up our asses. He has to be real with the people and Congress so we can take steps to correct what has gone wrong. We can't go on pretending that things are hunky dory and expect to change the foundations that brought us to this situation.
