Why does every article have bashing of Obama or democrats or liberals? The economy has been heading this way for a while, most people were just to ignorant to see it (or to busy pushing blame). The fact is our government (both party's) over the past 20+ years have setup a system (lead by large corporations) to sell out the US industrial system to China. We give no incentive to company's to keep factory's in the US and we do nothing to fix the imbalance. This all goes on while China keeps its currency undervalued in order to keep the the deficit growing. While you all debate pointless crap about Obama and try to place blame for everything that occurs on him realize this is still continuing and instead of talking about issues you are looking for a scape goat.
