Seemingly, if job creation in the US continues the current pace through the course of 2010, then more jobs will have been created than during the entire eight years of George W Bush's presidency

The rate of unemployment needs to fall, of course, otherwise incomes for many will remain flat and it's vital that the economy stays on track. Any double-dip, of course, and Obama will own it
Mhm I thought everything was going to be perfect with Obama in office. He sure made it sound that way.
I play a low expectations game 
. Been dealt the sh**ttiest hand since that which Hoover dealt FDR. Nowt that came between comes close
FDR blaming Hoover, how responsible. Just shrug off the responsibility and hope the voters buy it.
Well, it's accurate 
. Look man you're talking to a left-leaning pro-positive rights Christian Democrat not some right-winger totally in thrall to that wretched God of the ideological Right that is the "cult of neoliberalism" - and its deregulatory and non-regulatory excesses - wherein lies all the causation for the 'Crash of 2008' and the 'Great Recession'
I don't even think when it comes to Western capitalism in terms of socialism vs conservatism because liberalism is its hegemonic ideology. European social democracy is a model of capitalism, but more of a 'New Liberal', rather than a neoliberal, essence
You don't have to convince me on New Liberal. I'm a liberal in the 19th century sense of the word which today would be a conservative libertarian. I'm Christian too and if you're bothered to take the time to read my religion and philosophy posts you'll see that I am far from the religious or radical right.
You are no libertarian. You are a neo-con through and through.
As for the blame for the the Great Depression, I think the blame falls on three people.
Harding and Coolidge were at blame for the crash itself. Coolidge was a smart guy; he declined reelection because he knew the crash was coming.
As for the depression, it all falls on Hoover.
