Third paragraph....wrong.....t hey started blaming him for the economy he inherited stating it was on his watch. Look I don't want to type huge paragraphs with examples of this and that. You're a liberal and there's no way I will get u to agree, nor do I care. Bottom line and my main point is you have a short memory if u don't remember the media blaming Bush for every silly thing that occured. Payback time.
I do remember the media attacking Bush but that didn't happen until much later and not until after a lot of screw ups. Directly after 911 the economy was the last thing on the media's mind. Bush certainly didn't help the economy and his handling of the war,his failing to capture Bin Laden and attacking Iraq didn't do much to improve his standing in the eyes of the public and them media.
The economy was quite strong when Bush became President. A strong economy was one of the platforms his opponent campaigned on. The budget was balanced and there was a surplus.
You're admitting that you criticize Obama as payback. I don't get that. That makes you just another partisan. It also means a lot of your problems with Obama are personal and partisan. You can't argrue on those grounds. And let me clarify, I am pretty moderate in my political beliefs or nuanced if you will. I am pretty liberal on social issues but surprisingly conservative economically.
