Obama, however, inherited an economy in freefall, and could not possibly have turned things around in the short time since his inauguration. President Bush seemed like a deer caught in the headlights –�paralyzed, unable to do almost anything – for months before he left office.
当然，奥巴马接下的是一个烂摊子，要在短期之内彻底扭转也是不切合实际的。布什总统在离任前的几个月内也是束手无策，几乎无法开展任何事情。现在，至少我们有个一个可以做事情的总统了，而且他所作所为可能给美国带来一个大的改变。
