We certainly should not give him a pass. But a lot of people had already made their decision regarding Obama before he took office. Just look at the price of bullets between election and inauguration.

Obama is not the best president, but you can't say he was the worst until his time is done.

It was already a 4 by the time I replied, so I'm not too broken up about it.

Wasn't a lot of war time spending actually kept off the books? Wouldn't it make sense that you'd collect less taxes during a recession?

It is, but not in this usage.

Or they bought a new router and wanted to have some "fun" with the old one. All you need to do is get it power and it'll broadcast...

Or it could be an old router someone used for a prank. You don't need an internet connection to broadcast an SSID, just power.
