Can any President of any country fix the economy or is it a cyclical expectation?

The free market naturally has its ups and downs - I think that this recession we're seeing is the result of that natural flow but also has been exacerbated due to greedy practices.

I don't think the bail out was the optimal solution, especially because Congress has absolutely no idea what the bail out money was used for so far...it's very unsettling.

Sometimes I feel like no one has any idea about to handle this thing, I know I don't.

I just hope the new Obama admistration has the skills and foresight to regulate where necessary and not risk ruining the foundations of our economy.
