So you think, like, 6 weeks is enough time to turn around decades of economic momentum?
I understand you don't like paying the salaries of rich failures. Nobody does. What does that have to do with the likelihood that Obama's stimulus plan will have a net positive impact on the economy?

Granted he inherited a mess but so far he just seems to want to make it worse. And blame Bush. True leaders do not blame they find ways to right things and work to make things better, I just don't see that from him..... yet.

I could see this being the case if Obama was using Bush as an excuse to not do anything. I don't see the problem in pointing out that the last guy might have played a role, or that the people who subscribe to the same failed economic philosophies as the last guy haven't realized that those economic philosophies have failed.
Despite however you want to classify "true leaders" (I'm continually impressed by the passion you commit to things which are completely arbitrary, and I mean that moderately as a compliment) true leaders lead. Effective leaders get shit done. Right now Obama is getting shit done. Right now Obama is leading most of the nation-- the rest of the nation seems to be being led by either Ron Paul or Rush Limbaugh (or Ramtha). Pick your poison, I guess.
