Obama Confident US Headed In 'Right Direction'Fox DC said:President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he has “never been more confident that our nation is headed in the right direction.”
“We are doing what is needed to move forward, and we’re doing what’s necessary not just to rebuild the economy for the short term, we want to rebuild it for the long term,” the president said at a Seattle fundraiser for Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash).

Is President Barack Obama correct? Is the United States, now more than ever, headed in the right direction and doing what's necessary to rebuild the economy?
Take the poll.

If nothing is done, eventually things will still recover economically. Which was not the issue or the question. The policy road we are on will hinder a recovery instead of hasten it. Therefore, we are not on the correct road to recovery --- the economy will rebound despite the bad policies being pushed by Obama.
I should have put yes. Obama has us on a path that will throw a bunch of bums out in NOV. That is the right path and will rebuild the economy.Obama Confident US Headed In 'Right Direction'

I believe we are on the road to recovery. Prior to George W Bush's roll-back of regulations and intense spending, as well as his assiting the wholesale movement of jobs out of the country, the national economy was doing great. Now the proper regulations are being put back into place and the economy is beginning to slowly recover. It is funny that conservatives are all too ready to say he has had 20 months, when Bush had 96 to run everything into the ground.

Which of Obama's policies specifically do you believe will hinder the short-term recovery?
Specifically, which regulations, and how did rolling them back put us into a recession?Prior to George W Bush's roll-back of regulations...
And The Obama's spending, 3x more intense - how does that not hurt things even more?...and intense spending...
Specifically, how did GWB do this?...as well as his assiting the wholesale movement of jobs out of the country...
Funny how liberals never said this while GWB was actually in office.the national economy was doing great.
Really?Now the proper regulations are being put back into place...
If these same conditions were present while a Rpublican were in the whitehouse, you'd not say that.and the economy is beginning to slowly recover.
Well, given that The Obama doing thngs 5x as poorly as GWB, He needs less time.It is funny that conservatives are all too ready to say he has had 20 months, when Bush had 96 to run everything into the ground.
1.) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
2.) Affordable Care Act
3.) CARS Program (aka - Cash for Clunkers)
4.) Troubled Assets Recovery Program (TARP) - all versions including Obama's extension of it.
5.) FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act (which includes the 28 billion for the teachers union bailout / payoff)
I could add in the government takeover of student loans, take over of the GM and Chrysler ...etc. But let's just go with 1-5.
I don't see how any of those things will hinder the recovery. I can see how someone could make the argument that some of them are bad for the economy in the long-term (especially the auto bailout and the union bailouts), but in the short term those programs are all flooding the economy with cash...except for arguably #2, which doesn't really have much of an effect at all until 2014. I don't see how the other policies could possibly NOT boost aggregate demand and hasten the recovery.
There are some valid criticisms of all these policies...but I don't think slowing down the economic recovery is among them.

I'd like to add the moratorium on drilling
and growing government jobs to your list.
