So instead of Obama - who do you suppose could clean up the Bush mess and how do you propose they do it?  Here is a little idea that came my way and it looks like a good one for starters.  It's addressed to our Prime Minister, but it would COULD easily say Dear Mr. President:

Dear Prime Minister Harper and Team,
 
Please find below my suggestion for fixing Canada's  economy.  Instead of
giving billions of dollars to banks and car companies that will  squander the
 money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following  plan: There
 are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them  $1 million
 apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
 
2) They MUST buy a new Canadian CAR. Twenty million cars ordered
- Auto Industry fixed.
 
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis
 fixed.
 
4) They must send their kids to school / college /university -
Crime rate
 fixed

5) Buy $50 of alcohol / tobacco / petrol a week... there's your  money back
 in duty/tax etc
 
It can't get any easier than that!
 
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay  back their
 falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.
