More republitards trying to etch-a-sketch the facts and history, I see.
No Etch a Sketch required.
Obama accused Bush of being "ANTI AMERICAN" for wanting to increase the budget deficit, yet he has done so to a far greater degree in 3 years, than ANY president has done in 8.
I think that alone speaks for itself, and without an Etch a Sketch.
For one, with an economic collapse, the cost of gas would drop so fast, it would make your head spin. No one would be buying it, causing a glut, reducing oil usage across the world, and dropping prices faster than the proverbial speeding bullet.
Inflation how large? Another fantasy. If no one is earning money, than increasing the cost of goods and services that cannot be paid for is ridiculous.
In New York City during the great depression, the prices for everything dwindled, rent dropped dramatically. Let's be serious, when you drop the rent you are asking for, inflation is not an issue, DEFLATION is.
Wow, I think you would need to be living under a rock or in a hole to feel bush is better than Obama. I wouldn't know were to begin. Um, Iraq? How many solders died? For what? Comes to mind. Um, the bank blowup. Handing obama an economy that was a total mess. The DOW at insane lows during bush and now back over 13K.
What planet would someone have to be from to think bush was better than Obama? I mean, I couldn't even understand how anyone could say that in any way. I am sure those that feel that way, thought he is going to take my guns and were out buying them up. Oh my. I mean seriously, what could makes someone tick to think bush is better than Obama? It has to be a race thing. Doesn't it? Seriously. People say, no race, but I can't buy it. I would have no problem with a GOP doing good for our country. I would love to see Ron Paul in there. If he was running against Obama, I would probably vote his way. I am much more level minded that some idiot saying, bush is better than Obama. Good luck trying to tell me why. What a joke of a topic. Hard to even discuss. Hope the whole thing was meant to be a joke. Make it out that way to save face.

<hint:> Obamaphobes don't base their hatred on anything logical. It's straight out of their reptile brains. They hate Obama (and you and me, too) because they perceive him as not one of them.
And anything that's not them is something to be feared and hated.
And you better get back to the duties in YOUR village before you are missed.
The whole world laughs at us NOW. We have a president who is spending this great country into collapse. he is giving money to BRAZIL to drill for oil offshore and restricts AMERICAN exploration. He blocks any and all attempts to stop the illegal immigration disaster while refusing to take federal action. he goes on a world tour apologizing for America...Just note the response to the Daniel Ortega speech in which he attacked the US and it's past and obama's response? Well, at least Mr. Ortega didn't blame me.
Okay...you guys realize YOU don't get to decide who likes us, right? His favorability in other countries is pretty high.

Nope. There are 3000 more National Guard troops by the border than there was in 2008. You can argue that it's not a huge increase, if you wan't, but that doesn't change the fact that under Obama, security has increased along the border.
Good post, the best chicken one I have seen. I don't agree with more socialism needed though.
I am a social capitalist. I would be more socialist than we are now, and less socialist than Europe. Canada actually seems to have a pretty good model. I'm not saying everything there would work here, and they're far from a problem-free society, but they've actually gotten a lot right over the years.
Actually the breaks were put on well before Obama took the oath of office..
Well, in the sense that the credit markets had completely frozen, yes, that bottomed out before Obama took over, I believe, and did gradually recover from that point forward. The bailouts helped, of course. I give Bush credit for signing the bailout package, and Obama for implementing the second installment.

The downward trend in the growth of jobless claims (take a moment to think about the meaning of that phrase) began almost as soon as the stimulus went into effect. GDP growth recovered within six months of his inauguration. And private sector job growth began in his first year and has continued for nearly the past two years. Oh and the results you reference are about 3 years in the making, not four - hasn't been in office that long. Do the math. Do it correctly.

What results are we waiting for? Moderate and steady recovery? No need to wait -- we already have that. Time to get back to work, I say.
Waiting for the roaring 2010s? Waiting for neo-feudalism? Maybe it's time for anti-Obama republitards to pull the horseshoes out of their @sses.
Five years ago, your boy Bush the younger was president. His evaluation hasn't moved off that mark.
Which again puts Obama where?

Actually its you that cant seem to let go because you keep babbling 5 year old data and then pretending it holds relevance today because you hide from reality.

Um, Obama never implemented the second installment, he was given latitude over the spending, but then relinquished the second isntallment back to Bush

Fail because we have 2 million more unemployed now than when Obama took the oath of office. There are less people on unemployment now simply because they have expired their time, not because of a grow of jobs. Furthermore, GDP growth came from government spending, but in order to spend, government must first take money out of the economy. We've been out of the recession now for 3 years, dont you feel wonderful? As for the 4 years, that includes the time period when Obama began making promises to fix things, you know, when he ran for president

How does 2M more out of work, = a recovery?

Maybe its time for you to wake the hell up and stop pretending things arent how they are. You can start by acknowledging MORE people out of work now, then when Obama was sworn into office, and then you can try to explain again, how more people out of work = an improvement.
