Obama sees Economy Glass as Half Full

(CBS/AP) President Obama proclaimed signs of economic progress Tuesday but also warned Americans eager for good news that "by no means are we out of the woods."

In a speech at Georgetown University, Mr. Obama aimed to juggle his glass-half-full take on the economy with a determination to not be stamped as naive or overly rosy in the face of stubborn problems that linger.

"There is no doubt that times are still tough," Mr. Obama said. "But from where we stand… for the very first time, we are beginning to see glimmers of hope. And beyond that, way off in the distance, we can see a vision of an America's future that is far different than our troubled economic past." - CBS News Story

I think the vision that we see off on the Horizon isn't all that far off and it is a vision of a troubled Financial Future. Were do we go from here? How do we pay off all the loans that we are taking out? How many generations will have to endure a lengthening hardship due to the decisions that are now being made? How many Presidents will inherit the Obama Mess?
