Remember in 2008...

When Obama got elected and everyone complained about how he'd get thrown under the bus because the problems caused by the Bush administration were too much to fix in one term. And everyone said it would be funny to see the ignorant people of the Nation blame Obama for our problems, but us intelligent folk were too smart to fall for this. Yeah...good times.

I remember this distinctly though, of course, I was reading about it as an observation in The Times. Fine times indeed.

2008 was a great year, i had a tight little freshman thing wrapped around my arm and things were well.

I'm willing to bet that a mod is gonna lock this thread.

Don't think I do, I just remember Obama being elected, was the first time I voted as well, and I also graduated High School that year then started Trade School the same year left my old gamespot account and made this one, but still 2008 was a pretty good year.

2008 was an awesome year for me.

So you're saying we should have no expectations for a US president? Just say, well the last guy was worse?

When he said, 'Yes, we can,' it may have been politically clever," Belafonte said. "He never defined for us what he said…So those of us who felt that we needed change filled in that space with our own images of what we thought he meant only to find out we are all disappointed because none of those things have been satisfied."

I was pointing out how everyone, especially on this board, made a concerted effort to claim that they would not blame Obama and his administration for these problems, and understand that it could take a lifetime for the U.S. to get back on track. However, because America is filled with shortsighted individuals that believe the Great depression only lasted three years, he is thrown under the bus and treated as though he is the absolute WORST president regardless of what he inherited. I don't think any President could have been elected in 08 and made the U.S. magically better by the end of his first term. Maybe they would do a better job, but I see no reason to sit around and moan about the President.
