Yes, and what the op seems to forget is that enough people liked his plan, so many in fact that he managed an electoral landslide - taking many traditionally red states and turning them blus. That would seem to indicated that many republicans liked his plan as well.
The conservative Republicans, who have been in power since 1993 when they took over congress, are to blame for our economic problems. Their deregulation and indulgence in free rather than fair trade has destroyed this country. The Democrats took a small plurality of congress but not enough to make any substantive changes in the past two years.
Allowing businesses to regulate themselves is like raising a child without ever setting boundaries or saying no. These knuckle heads are still chanting the free trade mantra even though the results have been disastrous and are selling off our assets like the US is a cheap chippie.
Here is an example of what happened to our copper mines In July 1999, an announced merger-of-- equals transaction between Cyprus Amax Minerals Company and Asarco initiated competition between North American copper producers for control of the U.S. copper industry. Following numerous offers and counter offers, including an attempt by Phelps Dodge to acquire the assets of both Asarco and Cyprus Amax, a realigned industry emerged by mid-October: Phelps Dodge acquired Cyprus Amax and Mexico's Grupo Mexico S.A. de C.V. acquired the assets of Asarco.
We saw the results of a lack of regulation in 1929 and may see them again now. I suggest reading to read Timothy Egan's Worst Hard Time to gain an understanding of what we are facing.

((((I like almost 1/2 the people that voted, think Obama is wrong.
You aren't impressed because he isn't a "hockey mom" or a Republican.

You know, I've really been giving this a lot of thought.
You're really basing an opinion of her on college choices when she was very young and on unproven gossipy media stuff from unnamed sources?

Then some of the blame should go to Clinton, or did Bush start your suffering on his inauguration day?
Because even if your family is in Gitmo, it hasn't been a full 8 years. LOL
