“I agree...but there has also been a redistribution of profits...with a smaller and smaller share going to the worker and a larger and larger share going to those at the top. Not sure how you change this in a capitalist society but I hope it does change or we will absolutely not have a middle class.”

“And with everything from Dog Food to DVD players coming to your Local Wal-Mart via China...what exactly would you have these entrepreneurs make?”

“Yeah...just make random entries...kinda fun.”

“co-sign”

“You and others making excuses for inaction and misplaced priorities by this administration certainly doesn’t help matters.”

“It is clear to me by reading a number of the posts on this blog that die hard Obama supporters seem not able to understand what it means to hold elected officials accountable…which is what Arianna is attempting to do in her post. It is not yet buyer’s remorse but a frustration with an administration and Obama himself for addressing the unemployment issue as an after thought. Does anyone remember what the talking points were when the stimulus was being pushed by the administration? We were told it was to prevent unemployment from reaching 10 percent…when it reached 10 percent they said…”every economist got it wrong”…which is why the Katrina comparison works…. “None of experts believed the levees would break.”

It is my opinion that Obama got his priorities wrong. He should have had a plan that not only helped Wall Street but at the same time helped those on Main Street. Wall Street is on the mend and bonus are set to roll out at years end…a million here a few million there…while unemployment benefits get extended for those on Main Street. Another mistake was to first try to address health care without first addressing the deficit. Had he done what Clinton did and put forward a balanced budget and was able to show by…2016 that we would be back in the black….he then would have had leverage to go out and push a one trillion dollar program to address the uninsured and underinsured in this country.”

“No wonder this country is in such dire straights....people such as yourself think that it is fine that "it will not be an overnight process"....hmmmm seemed to be an overnight process for Wall Street...wait until you start reading about all the year end bonuses for these people...3 million here...another 4 over there....My God wait will it take to get the die hard Obama supporters to hold this man accountable? I was going to fix Main Street remember....think back...it will come to you.”

“If his supporters don't hold him accountable....who will?”

“Well Said bluevase....Thank you.”

“It seems to me that Wall Street was "fixed" pretty quickly. Had he started with Main street and not the banks we would not be in this position.”

“Thank you....interesting article and I think you are right on. I personally would not go as far to compare him to Bush..."Heck of a Job....(no not so much....) But that being said you are right....it's time to fix Main Street but it's also very late into the problem so it is that much harder to turn things around. I don't buy that he hasn't been in office long enough...Wall Street seems to on the mend...not Main Street. We elected a Democrat....right?”

“uh, yes”

“EXACTLY”

“Absolutely Hillary would have done a better job.”

“His supports elected him...he needs to deliever now on this thing he called "Change".”

“Stop making excuses people...demand action!!”

“What a sorry excuse for so much inaction by THIS administration.”

“Unfortunately he hasn't got much time. Look around...are you happy with were this country is at the moment? Do you know anyone who has been laid off? Do you know anyone who has lost their home? And do you know anyone who isn't worried about losing one of both of these? Give him time because he inherited a mess...you have to joking. Government is not supposed to work this slow and that you and many other defenders of the president seem to think it is, doesn't make you right. Change can happen quick as you saw with the bailout of the large banks....they are happy and doing fine thank you very much. You need to demand change. You need to hold your elected officials accountable. Stop...just stop please making excuses...Obama knew full well what he was getting into when he signed on....he wasn't living under a rock for all the Bush years...but he is living in the White House now and he must be help accountable and we should all be demanding more...not offering sad excuses.”

“Arianna, now be honest with your bloggers about Obama. You go on Bill Mayer and other shows and speak the truth...but your own blog...not so much. What gives?”

“I worked 16-17 hours a day with no days off for nearly four months working to get the President elected.

If Obama would just follow your work ethic then maybe you would see some change. I get the impression his work day ends at 5pm.”

“Broken Promises all around.”

“What if John Stewart? Lets us all pray that Mr. Stewart leaves his current job and takes up the job of reporter....he will in a league of his own....literally!!!!”

“Of course it is!!!”

“Bill Clinton has not been an issue while his wife serves in the Senate I don't see why he would be an issue if she were VP. He has his foundation and his library and many speaking events as well as a host of other projects...Bill Clinton would not be an issue.”

“You guys really have a problem with posting headlines that are completely misleading. No where does the advisor say she will drop out. He said there would be a nominee by June 15th. Your article states..."The advisor would not go so far as to say Hillary would drop out by June 15th." Some of us can read.”
