That's a sobering perspective.

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.

Wait! Doesn't any blame to BUSH automatically get redirected to Clinton?

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)

Wasn't Obama supposed to return this country to prosperity? Bush was a failure, after all.

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2011, 06:56:50 PM »

The real bad stuff of bamas policies are still to come. We aint seen nothing yet.

BayGBM · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2011, 07:04:29 PM »

I think it depends... I think I am fortunate enough to be about the same.

Obama didn't screw me, but the divorce did.

you're aware that table includes a period of time when Bush was in office and also that Obama's #'s include Bush's tax cuts and Bush's wars, TARP (started under Bush), the auto bailouts (started under Bush), etc..

It's BUSH's fault.

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.

The real problem is a string of deadbeat presidents and sleaze ball reps.

I was just being sarcastic about it being BUSH's fault. Lol

How about blame the greedy corporations that creating the mess...follow the money, and you see that the lobbyists that they pay, and the laws that are created to help feed the corp's addiction to greed...All the presidents get the blame, but the real people are the businesses...
