For and against the Obama economy

I’ve been critical on this blog of how President Obama is trying to fix the economy. But I’d like to hear from all sides. I’d be glad to hear someone making a case for how this could possibly work. And I don’t want to leave out the moral issues that are raised in these various policies. Towards that end, I am posting two articles, below. One supports the administration’s policies, to the point of lauding how moral and how Christian it all is. One is critical, accusing the administration of exacerbating a bad economy and actually preventing its recovery. Please read both sides and contribute your thoughts, answering the articles and putting forth arguments of your own. Let’s see if we can think this through.
