Obama's meddling is second only to the Great Depression...and both sets of meddling delayed recovery by years. <br /><br />GM would have survived in some form, although likely smaller. There are plenty of car factories in the US--at the time we were well over capacity in auto manufacturing. Those factories, owned by companies that didn't drive themselves into bankruptcy would have taken up most of the slack. Rule of law is important to financial stability. Instead of following the rule of law, it was "important enough" to violate the law, change the order of creditors. So now future investors won't know the risks in investing in a company that has value but is troubled. And remember this is the same thing that essentially gave Chrysler to Fiat. <br /><br />The stock market should go to new highs for every president, if it doesn't there's something seriously wrong. Again, without interference it would have likely gone even higher. The deficit shrunk mostly due to the sequester, which both you and the president have objected to. <br /><br />It's too early to decide of Obama is the worst so far, we've had so many bad ones to choose from. If he does turn out to be the worst, he's likely to lose that title early in the next term regardless of which frontrunner wins. <br /><br />From what I've seen, Trump has spent little money--Instead of paying for publicity, he does silly stunts and makes outrageous speeches. If money made that much difference, you'd be complaining about another Bush right about now. Why does Bloomberg get a pass, with all the money he spends all over the country influencing local elections?<br /><br />I'll vote, and barring a miracle, I'll keep my perfect record of never voting for a winning presidential candidate.
