You don't know your history. Hoover faced an entirely different set of circumstances and did more to try and get out of it.
Obama made no real effort to get out of it.
The fact is he failed to act and his policies were designed to either make it worse or for political payoffs.
That's a bad President.
Study your history!
You ever think that a lot of why Obama hasn't succeeded is simply because the Republicans, in an unprecedented rate, have been refusing to help/pass laws in ANY way and have tried to undermine everything he's done since day one?
You do know that the President actually isn't the one who changes policies, and makes laws, right? But the congress, the least active and productive congress probably in 100 years, is the one who is supposed to move the ball forward. But when the R's are controlled by a very wack-job conservative wing (I'll call them T-party), who refuses to do anything to help the country because it MIGHT end up looking like they agree with the President,(even if it benefits them personally)...well, wtf do you think is going to happen?
It's not like he's implemented tons of policies or changes in an economic manner (which is partly his fault, and partly the Rs fault). That is both a negative and a positive for him, imho. Negative because he hasn't done enough, but positive because it's kind of difficult to say he's not doing enough to fix the economy with one hand, when you're saying he's screwing the economy over with the other.
I think one of the things that probably irritates liberals and democrats most, is the almost irrational fear that conservatives and republicans have, in accepting that Bush was a horrible president, set the country back years, and fucked up the economy.
That is not to say that Obama has been perfect, but seriously...if you think things are worse now than they were under Bush's 5th and 6th year in office, you are in serious need of taking off your blinders.
The economy was on the brink of collapsing. Not staggering along like it is now, COLLAPSING. Ok,you might say it's a bit extreme, but it was a dying economy. Now whether or not he (Bush) is the sole reason for it is up for debate (I happen to think he's not, it's a long history of stupid policies and decisions in WDC), but if Obama is the "worst" economic president ever (your words), it might be helpful if the guy right before him wasn't even worse.
Like I said, it's hard to take you serious (especially when you have claimed you're not a talking points conservative sheep) when you say shit like this.
We're all entitled to our opinions, however, we're not entitled to our own made up facts.
