About 55% as of today, and that's an *average*. A lot of people have done worse.

Obama has only been in office a month, but we were promised 3 months ago he'd hit the ground running. He's had as much time as anyone to come up with plans, and has known for that long it would be his responsibility, not Bush's.

But so far not one bit of progress in addressing the problem. It's not that there's plan that hasn't worked yet - there hasn't been a plan, period. Instead what we've gotten is a budget whose deficit *dwarfs* anything Bush ever dreamed of. After Obama's budget, no one can ever again call Bush was fiscally irresponsible.

Monday brought the first credible hints of a plan in the "Bad Bank" proposals. It sounds like an RTC-type thing (except that management and shareholders aren't being wiped out) so it's an idea that should work if they're willing to pay for it.
