Yeah it was SOOOO terrible under Bush with the 5% unemployment, 14,000 DOW, especially given the terrorist attacks and housing bubble. Face it, the Dems started harping on the "terrible Bush economy" in 2004, took over congress in 2006, and created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bush sucked, but Obama is absolutely abysmal!
wow, so how do you remember things were Bush? Are you saying that 8 years of annihilating our economy can be fixed in just 2.5 years. I did not elect Jesus Christ or Zeus, I elected a human being that I believe has the right attitude and leadership to start turning things around. Am I happy with him right now? NO, but do I beleive he can eventually turn this sinking ship into a buoyant sustainable economy?..yes I do.
Fixed in 2.5 years? Maybe not. Improved? Definitely and that is where Obama has not delivered. The average American is far worse off now than they were in January 2009.
why don't YOU explain how Bush did not run up the bills for 8 years...please show me stats on how your conservative hero cut back on spending? I look forward to your reply
Bush also inherited a recession and 9/11. Deficits increased as a result, but those deficits decreased year after year until it was just $151 billion. Then Democrats took over Congress in 2007. Spending has been out of control ever since. I made a good living when Republicans ran things, and I can link their policies with the growth of the economy. Today, I'm living on on a third of what I used to make and this clown wants to blame the other guy?
Is this getting old or what? He has nothing, so he blames Europe and George Bush. He doesn't have a clue as to what to do. He's like a ship without a rudder, circling in the ocean.
What a loser.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday he inherited many of the country's problems with high debt and deficits when he entered the White House, sounding a theme likely to dominate his 2012 re-election campaign.
Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser, where families paid $15,000 to get a picture with him, Obama defended his economic record and noted that problems in Europe were affecting the United States.
"We do have a serious problem in terms of debt and deficit, and much of it I inherited," Obama said. The financial crisis, he said, made the problem worse.
I don't think there is an expiration date on blame. Once you are the blame, you are always the blame.

Here is yet another poster who is among the most enlightened. I could not have said it better myself. Good job and spot on.

Nice deflection, I will play... I didn't say he didn't. The war cost a lot (you can agree or disagree with funding it) and I do not agree with some of his actions, for instance, his bail out bill which was pure garbage and there are many many other policies to which I was against of his.
So, I played nice, can you? I know Bush overspent and we know what it was and why, you can disagree with it or not. I told you what I disagreed with.
Now back to Obama and the question I posed to you. Care to answer it or are you too cowardly to do so?

You forgot to mention gas prices are more than doubled under obama, the deficit has quadrupled, the debt has increased by 60% and the housing market is near collapse.

Omg, he's absolutely floundering in his incompetence. He keeps wanting to do the same things that have failed brilliantly.

Yes, that's what losers do. Always deflect. Especially if they have nothing to offer to help.
