Articles: Why Blame Obama?

Obama voted for the budgets he blamed Bush for. He then pushed for emergency spending in his first year and KEPT spending at those levels. Not with a budget but with continuing resolutions. STILL this is the most pathetic recovery ever from a recession.

We all, most of us, know the reason for America's financial mess is because of GW Bush. Bush cut taxes for the rich and dove head long into two unfunded wars costing us trillions. This is what President Obama inherited. At the same time we have a republican congress that has sat on their asses and declared to do nothing in order to oust a president. It is this congress that is responsible for the sad state of America. America needs to get this congress out of office.

We need to re-elect President Obama. We absolutely must take our congressional members out behind the wood shed and give them a dam good ass kicking. We have enough problems in this country without have a war between the republicans and democrats. If this cannot not be resolved them we must rally around a new party that will work for the benefit of all Americans and not just the top 1%.

If he can't stand the heat, he needs to get out of the kitchen.

The POTUS is always, properly held accountable.

Only adults should apply.

Bush never whined about Clinton leaving him the dot-com stock crash, a housing market bubble, most favored nation status to China for trade, a deficit that is falsely portrayed as a surplus (per US Treasury) and Bin Laden who attacked the US multiple times in the 1990s.

Like Bush, Obama inherited a tough gig and didn't live up to the challenge.

Obama said Bush was unpatriotic for taking out so much debt in the name of our kids. Yet Obama added more debt in less than half the time.

Obama implied that he would get out of the wars quicker.
-Obama followed Bush's Iraq withdrawal timeline and then has his campaign toot the horn over it.
-Obama doubled down on Afghanistan so he in fact has extended thee wars beyond Bush's timeline. He owns his action.

Obama has spent money foolishly after promising smart spending and gong line by line...$500,000.00 to paint a single airplane to look like a Salmon and then he claims that it created 4 permanent jobs.

Do you think that Romney will blame Obama (even though he probably should)?

Any time "tax cuts for the rich" come out of someone's mouth they automatically go on ignore.

It's impossible to have a reasonable conversation about economics with someone so ignorant.

The guy had the house, the senate, and the executive branch for 2 years. Pelosi grabbed headlines with her now forgotten "we won" .....reid and pelosi werent looking for any bipartisianship then my friend......Don't forget, EVERYONE was on board for the first war the democrats wanted revenge for 9/11 TOO or did you simply forget this? He's had the economy, spent 5.4 trillion MORE than bush......at a higher interest rate......and now has unemployment hovering around 8.3 percent vs. The 7.8 percent he inherited....and you call this successful?

It was CHEAPER for bush to prosecute 2 wars than all the nothing this guy accomplished......you can't defend it...he's an economic disaster...what should we do now? Double down? Spend 5 trillion more? For what? To save some union job that makes cars nobody wants except the 93 percent of the buyers buying GM products now which have turned outto be....drum roll....sub-prime borrowers!!! That's what 26 billion buys.....crappy products by over paid union drones who care more about your tax hikes to give THEM a pension all the while making crappy products and expecting YOU to buy them???

Now,I am listening to the first woman who sold off influence for her 312k annual salary at cook county healthcare system...telling us to play by the rules.....I guess she is FINALLY proud of her country...what a piece of work....wow....she says he helped the small businessman.....how? By putting them out of business with a foggy healthcare plan???

Where's reverend wright? Bill Ayers? The woman is dying from cancer that her insurance company won't pay for.....are we talking about the one whose husband LIED on camera, reporter later caught in the LIE?

He grin f'd you once liberal whites....and he's doing it again...and some of you are buying it....if he wins,I hope you are okay with what he has planned for your pensions....good luck...

eventhough I voted for Obama, he had a chance to have congress pass some bills to help the economy in his first 2 years in office when it was Democrat-dominated, but he was too focused on healthcare instead, when Republicans re-gained control of congress, thats when Obama has attempted to pass bills through congress to help the Economy but Republicans would rather see the U.S. enter another Depression than see him get re-elected President
