Barack Obama is a thinker and a problem solver which is just what we need. Certainly there are problems.
FDR never figured out how to end the Depression. What he left is a litany of things that didn't work very well.
Hitler figured out how to end the depression in Germany and I don't mean the war. Building Autobahns and things like that did the trick.
In the USA, the best program was President Eisenhower's Interstate highway building.
Today, the problems are worse because of overpopulation and the resulting global climate change.
Now what will Obama do? I have no idea except to wish him well.
