The Democrats didn’t think so when they were savaging Bush over the economy post 9/11. Not only was that really not his fault, within only a few weeks they were screaming about why he didn’t do something to fix the economy. Uh, we just had the worst terror attack on American soil EVER! Wanna give the country some time!
Besides, if anything good had happened, Obama and all of his supporters would be tooting his horn and taking credit. That goes both ways.

Most democrats supported Bush quite a bit after 9/11. But at the risk of getting off topic, I’ll stop that topic there.
Yes, people will always do that it seems, Republican or Democrat, they’ll brag if their man is doing good and sometimes, even if he isn’t.

Good question, indeed. Have you ever noticed that you can “expert” on each side of a question–which brings to mind global warming. It is irritating when such and such expert is quoted as the be all and end all. They never refer to the other side of the question as if another side did not exist.

There are those of us who think that what the president IS doing is making the problem worse. He is quickly adding more and more to the budget each week and we are going bankrupt. That makes it HIS problem.

whatevergirl, perhaps all this discussion helps you to comprehend the “depths of despair” that many of us, including your husband, are feeling. This isn’t like the Cubs not making it to the Series AGAIN 
. It’s deeper and it will affect our children more than us–that’s probably the most heart-sickening thing, to think of our children living in the New U.S. that Pres. Obama is working so hard to create.
Perhaps that’s a good word to describe what I think your husband is feeling–heartsick. It’s not so much despair or lack of trust in God–it’s just deep sadness. One day we’ll remember the way things used to be in the U.S. when we were younger, but when we try to explain the wonders of personal freedom to the young people, they’ll call us old coots and tell us to drop it and live in the now, not the then.
Of course, that’s assuming that the old are allowed to live in this new world. I’m serious. If they really want to stop global warming, the simplest thing to do is kill off the useless members of society–the old, the sick, the deficient, the obese (we REALLY breathe out a lot of CO2, plus consume more resources), the criminals, etc. Let only those who are fit to live expel CO2.
For those of you who say “Trust Christ,” yes, I do. It’s the waiting that’s hard. We see crisis, even apocalypse, coming. The other day there was a cartoon about the future of the U.S. and cannibalism, and my husband, a very logical computer guy, said, “Well, it’s certainly looks possible if the economy continues to cave in.”
My father will be 80 in November, and he’s a life-long Democrat who is feeling the exact thing that your husband and I and so many others are feeling. He says, “Right now everyone is hopeful because it’s summer and most people still have unemployment benefits, but this winter, when the money is gone and people have no food and no heat, what will the President do then?” I think my dad is remembering the Great Depression, when people ate turnips and grass because that’s all they had.
I would say that at this time, the best thing you can do is pray for your husband and all the rest of us who simply cannot just forget about it. We’re trying to go about our daily business, but everytime I do an activity, I keep wondering how I will ever pay for it when the incomes are taxed to the tune of 60% or more to pay for all the new stuff.
