Dan Spencer over at RedState reminds us that three years ago today Obama gave himself three years to get this situation under control:

Obama: One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. I’ve got four years.
Lauer: You’re going to know quickly how people feel about what’s happened.
Obama: That’s exactly right. And a year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress, but there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.

Well? Is the situation under control?
Liberal answer: It’s Bush’s fault. You’re a racist for even asking. Oh…and, it wasn’t my fault! (Jake from Blues Brothers)
Average American answer: **** no it’s not under control!
