Americans are still very divided over the bailout of banks and automobile companies. Even economists are divided over the effects of that massive bailout. The best way that the American people can see that their government is in their side is for it to reform the financial sector.

President Obama’s approval rate is going down. The economy is getting better but not to the point where the American people want it to be. People are losing patience and that is not fair! We all agree that even superman couldn’t do better in this global economic crisis.
