Obama has not led people to feel confident about anything, but has, rather frightened his countrymen. This is a terrible legacy he now owns, no matter how the current issue on the debt ceiling gets resolved.
History will record him as an enemy to the people's faith and peace of mind during this trying time. He has hurt millions with his innacurate accusations and fear mongering speeches. He is an evil, spiteful, vengeful man who has no comprehension of what his role is in the White House and has let his thin skin and ego take precedence over the welfare of the people he is supposed to protect.
I agree. It’s cruel - but then, I have always thought Obama was a nasty SOB.
His own family may have been raving Marxists, but they were well-off, and he has no sympathy for people who aren’t. Bush’s family was well-off, but he did sympathize (perhaps even a bit too much!) and never would have done anything like this.
