He was a senator for only 1 year and campaigned mostly but before that Obama trained ACORN that radical group that got people all those sub-prime mortgage loans that destroyed the economy!
Also Obama and his “community org.groups” those radicals raised alot of money to spread radicalism in schools, thats why Obama worked so closely to Bill Ayers and raised over one hundred million dollars for Ayers to spread his hateful Marxist point of view.
This was all of Obama’s CAMPAIGNING! To help destroy the economy so people would vote for him.. He is really something else hah! Obama trashed peoples lives to be president and they are buying his BS!
Obama is using those people who joined ACORN! Wish they would realize it!

Answer by buttercup
Well he voted present, what more can you expect from such “greatness”. He clearly did everything humanly possible, there only so much one man can do.

Answer by rwb13
in an effort to show his bipartisanship, he voted with the democratic party 96% of the time. he ran for pres. so he could do away with all the evil bush policies, he raised incredible amounts of money from “ordinary” folks like oprah, soros and buffet so he could help “main street” folks out of their misery. obviously, you missed all the talking points he so thoughtfully released.

Answer by Angels Memory
He was too busy campaigning for President.

Uh…nuthin’.

Answer by Sacra Veritas
He’s not even cleaver about blaming Bush. In fact, he’s just doing more of the same (with regards to addressing the recession). So if he calls them failed Bush policies and he’s doing more, and on a grander scale, what does that make him?

Answer by lillith25
He was saving all his “good stuff” when he became president? Nope that can’t be it, cause all he has done so far is hurt this country. So my answer is nothing then and now he is doing everything he can to bankrupt us morally and financially
