Well its going to be a LONG prosses. and cant be done over night!

Are you serious? I'll be happy to see ANY improvement by the end of his first term!

LOL!!!

lol right! he will do it.. i have so much faith in him, i have never been happier or more comfortable with a president.

He lost his magic wand. The secret service is trying to find it all over the place!

Mastodon I know you've got to be pulling our legs. Yeah, you're messing with our heads.

miracles do not happen sorry to inform you and at the end of 4 years it will still take one to pull us out of the mess that someone left us in.

Well, it took Bush 8 years to screw everything up. I imagine it will take about that much to fix everything.

It is, I'm surprised you haven't noticed. Go out and buy a car or a house, it's the best time you will ever have.

It might be! I just got my 1st two unsolicited telephone offers to re-finance my house yesterday. The 1st in a long time. - That dude works quickly! ;-)

Here's a parallel thought. Someone weighs 300 pounds. For their better health they need to loose 120 pounds and have been dieting for two days. Are they there yet?

It was fixed yesterday. Didn't you get the memo?

patience is a virtue

your not serious?

no ones that dumb, come on mastodon

Come on now, Matodon! Surely you're pulling our legs?! Anyway, Bush took his whole 8 years digging us into this whole. It will take time to dig back out!

I think you're gonna have to wait a little more. Give him another two hours. XD

Rome wasn't built in a day. Particularly if it was planned atop a massive disaster area that had been developing for 8 years prior.

Well I thought it was getting better until I saw where the stimulas checks would Not come to us in 2009 , like promised but years down the road instead -- On the news today and he said we will be getting them this year the other day

The American economy is in deep trouble and we cannot expect President Obama to fix it in such a short time. Given the time and our patience he would turn things around. Meanwhile all Americans need to do the right things to ease the crisis.

He needs more time!Please give him the time.....

dontcha just love how everyone expected Bush to do this and do that right away and then get all pissed off at those of us who are conservative who stood up against the left wing ridiculous expectations but when we fire back with the same stuff on them, they get all defensive. whatsamatta? youre own medicine too bitter for you?

A lot of people in the US think that investors selling off their stocks are the ones that destroyed the economy. It's not the reason. What caused the problem was Americans gave away money that they didn't have to pay the greedy oil producing nations. Those people were in debt already, so they gave away investors money from the financial institutions. There is no cure for that, unless we can scam those countries into getting our money back. Good luck Obama!

If it could be fixed that fast, the problems wouldnt really be as serious as they are.

After extensive research we have found President Obama's schedule for the next 100 days..... DAY 1: Takes the oath of office. Delivers a killer speech. Hangs out with Springsteen, Jay Z and Beyonce at the ball. Gets lucky with Michelle. DAY 2: Solves the whole Middle East crisis with a brilliant plan that gives Palestinians a homeland in Alaska, preserves Israel and pacifies Iran with the promise of a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in Tehran. Fixes the economy with just a few minor tweaks that result in increasing middle-class incomes by 20 percent while keeping inflation in check. Establishes a maximum wage for CEOs, tying it to the minimum wage, which Congress immediately increases to $20 million a year. Gets universal health care passed by including a provision in the bill forbidding doctors' waiting rooms from having any People magazines from before 1997. Ends the war in Iraq. Rebuilds the nation's crumbling infrastructure. Renegotiates national debt with China and gets a special introductory zero percent interest rate. Rush Limbaugh responds by pointing out, for three hours straight, that Obama's middle name is Hussein. DAY 3: Kicks back. DAY 8: Closes Guantanamo Bay. Has Dick Cheney arrested for authorizing torture, outing a CIA agent and just generally being a jerk. Closes down unconstitutional surveillance programs. Lunches with Oprah. Limbaugh criticizes Obama for having tomato soup for lunch. DAY 10: Axes the Bowl Championship Series and institutes a playoff Advertisement system for major college football. The plan hits a snag when his proposal permanently bars Ohio State from playing in the post-season because of the Buckeye's habit of choking. The plan passes, though, despite heavy lobbying from the sweater-vest industry, which relies upon OSU coach Jim Tressel for 98 percent of its market. DAY 12: Makes the congratulatory call to the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room after the Super Bowl. Donovan McNabb answers the phone and, thinking it was a joke, hangs up. McNabb says he was unaware of the tradition of the president calling the locker room of the winning team after the Super Bowl. DAY 14: Goes to Disney World. Limbaugh says Disney World is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy to promote mice. DAY 18: Gets a law passed called the Chicago Cubs Rescue Act. The act, intended to hand the World Series championship to the beleaguered Cubs, allows Cubs batters to hit off tees and requires opposing base runners to tie their shoes together. Despite this, the Cubs finish 14 games out of first place in the National League Central. Cubs fans point out that Obama is from the South Side and has always been a White Sox fan. DAY 21: Creates 2 million new green jobs. Sets a goal of creating 2 million blue jobs by the end of March. DAY 27: Makes a prank call to John McCain's office. McCain replies, "Yes, my refrigerator was running. Thank you, my friend." DAY 30: Celebrates first month in office by taking the day off after spending the morning fixing the mortgage crisis. DAY 35: After his team loses its fifth straight pickup basketball game, appoints LeBron James as secretary of defense. Limbaugh reacts to the pick by saying that LeBron is a lousy defensive player. DAY 40: James passes Senate confirmation easily after hanging 45 on a team headed by Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W. Va. DAY 45: Saves the auto industry by sharing his plans for a perpetual motion machine that can power cars without using any fuel. DAY 46: Reveals plans to combat the growing epidemic of people losing one sock in the laundry. DAY 50: Heals the division between Jennifer Anniston and Angelina Jolie with the passage of the Mega-Babe Reconciliation Act of 2009, which requires Angelina to go back with Billy Bob. DAY 55: Orders the cancellation of "American Idol" and reopens Guantanamo Bay to house Simon. Installs the E Street Band as the house band at the White House. DAY 59: Solves global warming by instituting limits on carbon emissions, encouraging renewable sources of energy and installing a huge window unit in the fence between the United States and Mexico. DAY 62: Fixes NAFTA by requiring Mexico to adopt the same environmental and labor standards as the United States and requiring Mexican restaurants to make the second basket of chips free. DAY 75: Appoints George Clinton to the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy caused when Justice Samuel Alito resigns to spend more time with Justice Antonin Scalia's family. Defends the pick by saying, "Of all of the Clintons I had to pick from, George was clearly the best choice. And funkiest too!" DAY 87: Wins Nobel Prizes for economics, literature, peace and medicine. Celebrates by unveiling plans to give every American family a 42-inch flat screen. DAY 92: Captures Osama bin Laden and serves as prosecutor during his trial, which is held immediately and results in Osama being sentenced to life in prison with that Simon guy as a cellmate. DAY 99: Subbing for an injured Kobe Bryant, leads the Los Angles Lakers to the NBA title, beating the Boston Celtics in a dramatic seventh game in which scores 114 points, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's 47-year-old scoring record. Limbaugh says Obama should have scored 116. DAY 100: Takes the day off.

The economy's problem started a while ago, and it is impossible for two days of a new administration to drastically alter a handicapped money system. I believe that Clinton had a hand in advocating sub prime mortgage lending and that was over ten years ago. Obama might need two tenures to get things where they should be. Then again, that is what Obama wants, which might not be in America's best interest.

Even thou I know it's impossible to do it in 2 days the way the democrats talked about it before the election you would have thought the economy would have turned around when he was sworn in. BTY were in for1 hell of an ecomonic event that may make the great depression look easy and possibly a 3rd world war.

Well, well you certainly are impatient. You have elected a President not a God. It will take no less than two years if not four years but the people have to help. Best regards.

The bloke's useless, he should never have been elected if he can't even sort out a minor financial problem like this. Get him out I say! Force him to resign!

It's only been 2 days. It takes time.

in 2 days???

Even God took 6 days to create the Heavens and the Earth and then rested. Give the man a chance! He is barely setting up his administration's agenda.

I hear ya! What a slacker! ;)

Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzz... This huge mess has been created for more than a decade, don't expect someone even a superman to solve the economy problem in few years. After all those people who have ruined the economy (the lenders and unqualified borrowers)they spent the money that they don't have and enjoy the luxury of the house that migt be too big and too luxurious for them. I guess you should wait the change at least 10 years from now. Good luck USA.

It takes more than two days to print all that fresh monopoly money. Should be done by next week!

Superman had to take a nap!

If only Barack took my advice to end the war on drugs and extend marriage to gay and lesbian couples on the day of his inauguration, we'd be flying through blue skies today without a cloud in sight. Instead, those billowing dark clouds are getting darker and darker. But have no fear! This is the SS Titanic -- er -- US America that we're on. So what if we bump into a few financial iceburgs? We can't sink. Right?

Two days? I don't think anyone would be able to accomplish much in only two days. Give him a year or so to see real results. Obama has done a lot of work from the moment he was elected until he was sworn in. Of the 500 promises he made for his term of office, he has already kept 7 of them in his first week of office, and at least one before taking office.

two day come on

Time's like the tide, it waits for no man. Yeah well my point is, it will take some time... but I have faith in him, he has some good plans for the US, hence the rest of the world will benefit.

SINCE WHEN DOES A POLITICIAN TELL IT LIKE IT IS AND IF YOU THINK HE CARES, YOUR MORE GULLIBLE THAN MOST. IN MY OPINION, IF WE =FEDERAL GOVT. SPENT $5 MILLION A DAY TO BUY BACK STOCK FOR 3 MONTHS. THEN OUR ECONOMY WILL RETURN TO NORMAL, BECAUSE COMPANIES WILL SEE PROFITS IN STOCK AND START HIRING BACK, BUT IN OBAMA'S MIND. HE THINKS WALL STREET WILL MAKE A PROFIT, SO IN HIS MIND HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN ALLOWING WALL STREET TO PROFIT, EVEN IF IT MEANS THAT AMERICANS ECONOMY HAS TO WAIT FROM 1 TO 3 YEARS. AT LEAST THATS WHAT ONE OF HIS SPEECHES SAID. I HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT.
