Yeah, the economy seems to be taking another turn for the worse. If it continues, Obama may well be fucked for 2012.
The only unknown to me is, what would have happened had we not taken the steps we did? Around the time of Obama's election it seemed like the large majority of so-called experts (economists) were predicting some huge depression if money weren't pumped in to the economy, the banks bailed out etc.
And I don't have time to look right now, but who voted for all the bailouts? I know Bush started them and Obama added to them but I don't recall some united opposition to them on the part of Republicans. Then again, I might be getting old-timers.
