Post by: Straw Man on April 11, 2011, 05:34:24 PM: yeah like Obama is to blame for the crash in the banking, real estate, etc.. and the hemoraging of jobs that started before he took office.

Obama didn't even take office until Feb of 2009 so almost half of those 4 years in question are stull fully owned by Bush and the neocons

Well, you will not hear anything reasonable.

Democrats took control of the House and Senate in 2006, so those numbers look particularly bad.

only if Clinton was in office from during the time in question

also, let's keep in mind that Bush's deficit number most likely didn't include the wars and Obama's does and also that Obama's figure includes the Bush Tax cuts, Tarp and the economic slowdown (which is not insignificant)

It is part Bush's fault. And Obama and a whole lot of other shit we could talk on and on about. But it's just easier to blame Obama and call it done rather than talk about real problems.
