This "Obama wasn't the one who created the financial crisis" bit is LAME. At some point (which passed long ago), IT'S ON HIM. Unlike Madeline Albright, the American people ain't buying this blame-Bush "forever" routine.
Every president inherits problems from his predecessor. Did you hear Reagan whine incessantly about all the woes Carter left him? NO! He took on the responsibility and fixed the problem.
Actually Reagan didn't fix the problem, ...he simply made it worse, ...however he did create the illusion that things were getting better. It is only in hind-sight these many years later that we see the damage that Reagan did infact do.
The situation has gotten tremendously worse under Obama granted, however, it would have gotten worse regardless of who was in office. The wheels had already been set in motion.
That's what Obama said he would do. That's what he has FAILED to do. And, the fact that things have WORSEN under him makes the point that he needs to go.
An understandable rationale, ...but if he goes, ...who takes his place?
Republicans lost their best candidate when they allowed the Repubs to steal the candidacy of Ron Paul.
Failing to nominate Ron Paul, sealed Obama's victory in November.
Bush didn't blow $800 billion in stimulus; Obama did.
Actually Bush did this before Obama was even elected.
Bush didn't sink billions into "green energy" companies that went belly up; Obama did.
No, instead bush sank trillions into other "green energy" companies (insolvent banking institutions) that were ALREADY belly up.
Bush didn't get our credit downgraded (TWICE); Obama did.
I believe that was Congress that did that. Obama just was along for the ride, and got the blame.
Bush NEVER had 8% unemployment, even in his worst years (which just happen to be the two where the Dems ran Congress); Obama's has had 8% unemployment or higher for nearly his ENTIRE presidency.
How long was gas over $3 and pushing $4 a gallon under Bush? How long was it so under Obama?
How many college grads were getting jobs under Bush? How many under Obama?
What was black unemployment under Bush (who doesn't care about them)? What is it under Obama (who loves them so)?
Fallout takes time to work it's way through the system.
Look, I sympathize with the American people. I'm glad I don't have to vote in this coming election.
I take the position that I need to defend myself from whatever decisions are made by either party in office.
There is an upcoming storm ahead,
...rather than yell, scream, or cry about it,
...I'm choosing to position myself to dance in the rain.
What about you? What are you doing to defend yourself from the upcoming financial attack on the public?
