Fixing economy takes time

Should someone be blamed who has been in the presidency for only two years? Obama as president has had a lot of pressure and strain to “make a change” which, he emphasized, will take time. Should he share that same blame as former President Bush? I believe not, in the fact that things as dramatic as our economy can’t change in two years. The deficit has continued to grow but strategies to fix the gain will incur.

The cut of programs has already affected thousands of not only students but also employees all over the United States. As the deficit increases, it was only a matter of time to see what they will cut. We are all waiting for the “change” to happen but it’s only a matter of time to see that “change.”

I believe former President Bush was the one that started a cycle that will take more than two years to fix. It’s all a waiting game now.
