If he wants to be portrayed as a Lincoln or a Washington, he had better do a lot better with his Presidency than what he is currently doing. Was being sworn in with Lincoln's bible an indicator? He uses a lot of language from Lincoln's speeches too. I'll give him some time before I pass judgment on him, 6 months, maybe a year, and then I will start to be hyper critical. Nothing like having started investing in my retirement in 1997, and having the stock market back to 1997 levels where my dollar cost averaging has actually returned a huge negative amount. Here is looking to the next 30 years.

I don't like his insane spending, and I hate bailing anybody out, especially the banks and the people that got mortgages they could not afford. If it wasn't for those two groups, everything would still be going along fine, house prices wouldn't have reached the stratosphere, the Big 3 wouldn't need a bailout because people would still be able to afford a car, etc. Of course, the bank bailout was Bush's great idea.
