The economy isn't good, but the news media are making things look impossible as Bush leaves office, and then Obama's new administration will look like saviors as they take on this terrible task, and bring us back to prosperity.
The media want to set this up real good so no Republicans ever gain office again. This is why the Democrats are for illegal aliens- It assures their elected positions down the road. The US is turning into a socialist nation, controlled by one party.
It is becoming a reality!
