kept us safe from any attacks on American soil since he was elected on 11/4?

People are blaming him for the stock market and everything else, so perhaps we should give him some credit.

For one thing Barack Obama is not the POTUS yet, he was elected on November 4, 2008 to become POTUS on January 20, 2009 after his inauguration.

But until that day, he has no power over anything, except to pick his cabinet, and get things ready to assume the Presidency on that day.

I understand that "HE" thinks that he has power, but he doesn't, and the "Office of President Elect" that he created is not a constitutionally created office, and contrary to "HIS" belief is not a legal US Government Office, the plaque on his podium, he had made somewhere, to make himself feel like he is already in charge.

The decline in the stock market, and protection from Terrorist Attacks are results of the Democratic Congress and Senate that have handcuffed President Bush, each time he has tried to do anything to jump start the economy.

Obama will probably be as bad, if not worse than Jimmy Carter, who advised the Clinton Administration to sign the NAFTA and give China MFN status, even after their theft of our technology by a Chinese espionage ring.

He has no control over preventing attacks, or the stock market.



Wall Street knows whats coming though, its a better predictor of things to come than any single analyist. I predict Obama will be a Jimmy Carter redux (that is to say as bad as Bush, except from the left), and so does Wall Street (governing from the middle has never worked, and liberal policies will more than likely deepen the recession). As a side note, Democrats have controlled congress for the last 2 years, and I blame gay whorehouse operator Barney Frank (D. Mass) for the recession.

I have actually heard Republicans blaming the Democrats for the corrupted market and the depression it is causing. That is definitive chutzpah.



Only the most partisan of morons can hold a man responsible for things that happen before he comes on shift. The only thing more stupid would be to listen to them when next they speak.

I missed your post where you gave credit to President Bush for keeping us safe from attacks since 9/11.



Where was that?

I find it sad that the irony of your question is lost on just about everyone who answered. Remember to phrase your questions to a second grade reading level so at least include SOME Americans can be included in your discussion.

Obama is not authorized to take any action yet, so it's Bush/Cheney that have kept us safe since 9/11.

Rest assured that America will not be attacked until the government wants to take away more of your rights.

I'll tell you what. I'll give him credit for the 7 hears and 3 months without an attack when the right gives Clinton credit for the 7 years and 11 months without an attack under his administration.
