There's also the concept of economic lags in which it would be pretty presumptious to be demanding results in March from someone who was sworn in a month and a half ago. A bigger part of what's happening is the fallout process from the crash in September/October as individuals and business' are delevering themselves to adjust to the new paradigm. I see pretty much nothing anyone can do to stop this and recovery to happen on it's own terms regardless of how much money gets pissed away in the mean time.

Exactly... I'd like to see the President who would have things ship-shape by now...
