If we don't learn from history we are destined to repeat it! Am I the only one who sees the parallel between then and now? Our current state was in the works long before Obama for sure. Remember Clinton? Surplus? Government working together? And please don't respond talking about his infidelity. He made our country work for us. Now we are on the verge of collapse and we owe THAT to the obstructionist Republicans who signed "The Pledge" and could care less about their constituents.

Unemployment peaked at 25% in 1933. Take into consideration that Spain is almost there today. Greece is at just under 20% and rising. People are struggling to find enough to eat as the state is cutting on everything including unemployment benefits to save money.
And all because politicians can't admit that the Euro is a failure.

We have 'Hoovervilles' springing up all over the UK at the moment, as Ian Smith, the DWP Minister has just cut housing benefits for disabled and unemployed below the market rent level, so there will be an estimated 250,000 homeless in London alone in the run up to the Olympics 2012! They are building shacks out of crates and living in tents in churchyards in Bristol and London and getting Trussle Trust meals, but Bush and Blair each have 5 homes, despite being war criminals :)

I can't believe people pin this on Obama. This is the end result of YEARS of income disparity by the top and big business. If you think the GOP will solve this problem you're nuts. They want to cut taxes for the rich and corporations. They talk about a flat tax that will raise taxes on everyone, but the very rich.

@Andy52763 That's some ignorant thing to say. You make it sound like all that is wrong with America can all be blamed on Obama. If Obama is gone, problems solved. Give me a break.
