Not sure why president Obama gives his administration such high grade, I would give him an F.  The reason for this is that nothing has changed in the USA that has the potential of improving the current state of affairs, which includes the economy.

What we have seen is some tax breaks on April 15^th.  The average tax refund per family averaged $2,500 US Dollars.  What can a family of two parents currently unemployed with two kids, a mortgage, car loans, credit cards, medical and possibly education expenses do with $2,500 Dollars a year?  I guess it can help the monthly unemployment benefits that add up to a little over $1,000 a month.  The sad reality is that unemployment does not cover the living expenses of most Naive Americans currently unemployed.

Perhaps unemployed Naive Americans can get construction jobs and stop receiving unemployment.  That way their education and work experience could be tossed out the window and they could start working on construction projects at a lower pay rate.  This could be done for a while and then, when the US government runs out of money, …  The infrastructure construction jobs proposed and currently being funded do not produce goods or services that may provide revenue for Naive Americans or the US, unless some politician has the idea to add tolls to all the roads to raise money to pay for unemployment and the construction workers.  What kind of illogical thoughts are these?

Closing the facility in Guantanamo and hopefully leaving Cuba for good might help if the embargo is also lifted.  Cuba is in need of good and services.  The problem is that the rest of the world is also in interested in providing such goods and services, which every day in the US we continue to outsource and globalize.  Besides, Cuba has no money and they rather deal with China and Russia than with the US.

Almost every day in the news we learn that the executives of some financial company did something unethical and / or illegal.  This appears to be normal behavior of American Royalty.  What happened to the politician that allowed by law for AIG executives to get bonuses from bailout money?  Nothing.  What happened to the moneys?  Nothing.  Nothing has CHANGED.

The only glimmer of light in the past few weeks is the possibility for some reform on credit card companies.  That is a start but it is just a palliative.  What we need are deep changes in our society and help to small and medium size businesses.  They make America.  The large companies should not be allowed to grow so large and when they fail should not be bailed out.  The US car industry has been loosing ground because of their doing for decades.  The President should watch some 30, 20 and 10 year old movies.  Thirty years ago automobiles on the roads were almost all American.  He should then stick his head out a window on the White House and count how many domestic and foreign automobiles are at a time on Pennsylvania Avenue.  Why should Naive Americans bail out companies that have miserably failed for decades and they will continue to do so until they disappear?

American automobiles are going the way of the dinosaurs as televisions, watches, radios, and most other industries have already done.  What the current administration needs to do is to IMMEDIATELY concentrate on helping small and medium size businesses that produce (not import) American desirable goods and services and in the LONG RUN change education.  Building roads and railroads will not solve this serious problem we are currently in.
