 I think as the elected  leader of this country Obama used his bully pulpit, starting after his election to talk down our economy.  I think there was a significant and measurable impact.  I was not prepared for his negativity and the sudden change in American pride and "can do" spirit that normally comes from the office of the President.
Also, early on I stated from a policy point of view there would not be significant changes.  However, now with unchecked Democrat Party control in Washington I fear the worst.
