On the other hand...
You've got to give Obama credit for his Cairo speech though. Seeing muslims as people and talking to them as such cannot be mistaken for being negative elite. This may not be as visible to us in the west. But it makes a huge difference in the arab world.
Also it's not exactly Obama that trashed the economy. Blaming him for the current mess is like blaming the mess after a party on the janitors.
The man is not a savior I agree with you there. There are no saviors. But I think it's hard to consider him equal to the bush administration. He's a definite turn of events.
You could argue that his acts are lies... But they are acts none the less. With consequences. Positive deeds, positive seeds bear positive fruits. A friend once described it as "God accepts counterfeit coins" meaning that if you for any reason go through the positive motions with negative intent. You'll still get positive rewards. They may not be spectacular. But they will be there.
