All of the above in the article is TRUE.
With the exception of gas prices, almost all of that was the result of what Obama inherited. By the way, why isn't ANYONE having W come on the campaign trail if he left the country in such good shape. Nobody was bringing him out as far back as 2006.

Should you want to whine about the mess caused by the Great Recession, feel free to take an objective look about the cause of it. A lack of regulation in the banking industry caused the mess. Ask yourself what part is always talking about needing less regulation.

I know, it's tough, you have to put your emotions away and think objectively, but maybe someday you can do it.

And with all that against him the voting public are going to re-elect the man rather than put their faith in any of the incompetent GOP losers.

Wake up people! The Bush tax cuts reduced government revenues by 20%. We don't have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem and the right just wants to continue to cut taxes and make it worse.

Bush inherited a budget surplus from Clinton and through tax cuts and unfunded wars turned it into a massive deficit.

Maybe if the right would spend more time working to help fix the problem instead of trying to drive the winner of the 2008 election from office by being obstructive, we could actually resolve this issue. Obama won, get over it and start being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

It's not rocket science!

The point; everything the dems/media are saying this year, they said before in 1980.
