God created the universe in six days. The right wingers are complaining that Obama, after a smashing campaign victory, has not solved the problems of this little planet
in all of 100 days.
God started with a clean slate. When he finished he had only two people to deal with.
Obama inherited a collapsed world economy, and a nation brought down from the most exalted status to wallowing in a depression and a continuing down hill slide.
The critics who are responsible for this failure took eight years to bring it about.
Now they want Obama to continue their failed policies as the prescription to reverse the depression in only 100 days. And Obama has 6 plus billion diverse people to contend with because this crisis is worldwide.
The selfish interests of the haves who are secure enough to weather the depression are well represented in Congress. The economic lives of the former middle class are in immediate jeopardy. Who but Obama is their champion?
If the well off think that "beggar thy neighbor" will leave them safe they ignore the tides of history. When the "downs" hit bottom they turn on the "ups".
