All we can do is hope for the best. Our economy is a little messed up, and it is going to take a while to recover from it.” - Mike Mason

He is handling it very well. I like his stimulus plans. He is very confident and is not afraid. - Mercedez Hymes

I think he is being too nice to the people that screwed up. Zack Carter

I’m not sure in what about he is doing. He is taking the wrong approach by passing a stimulus package which is going to increase spending. There needs to be oversight. I would get back to the Constitution, because it was written to protect the people from too much government. We are pushing to Socialism. - James Marshall

I think Obama is handling the situation how someone who’s not entirely sure of what to do would. I don’t know if there’s an easy an-swer for the economic crisis. I don’t know how Obama’s decisions are going to affect me directly, but what I do know is I have a job, and it’s pretty stable, so I’m gonna keep working...cut expenses and hope for the best. - Douglas Culp

He has some of the smart-est economists working on solving this problem so it makes me feel good about what ideas they are coming up with, and they will help us in the long run. If Obama can’t get any more Repub-lican votes in Congress in the future, then he should just move on and just work with those moderate Republicans in the Senate. Edward Martinez

I feel positive change will definitely happen with President Obama. Our president inherited this mess, and he has the best understanding to lead us out of it. Todd Quinn

He is doing what anyone else would, including Bush, to fix the problem. I didn’t want him to be elected and didn’t vote for him, but he is our president, and we must hope for the best. Leon Youngblood

I don’t like it. Taxes are going through the roof, and the economy is millions of dollars into debt. He needs to look in ways to stop spending money. James Marshall Jr.
