10 Jan 09 Why is Obama backing off his comments that we’re in the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression?

Hey, it’s me! asked:


It’s kind of odd that he would back off of those comments now, after the election is over. It’s almost as if he purposely tried to scare people during the election, but after the election he wants people to believe they economy is on the rebound. Why would he do such a thing? Doesn’t he realize that fear tactics like that can cause people to lose their entire life savings? Doesn’t he look at the stock market?

Man
