    Barry, I hate to break it to you, but you already spent more than the Bush tax cuts in just one year.......Result: Unemployment only got under 9% for 2 months. Your joking....right. You trillions in debt have already caused our credit to be downgraded, are you trying for AA? You and your Democrat pals has 2 years of total control and 1 year of 2/3rds control to turn the economy around and increased the debt $4 trillion in the process. Where are we now, still sitting where we bottomed out. A half a billion dollars to one "Green Energy" company who bellied up with 4 others and another 5 apparently on the way. Can you spell LOSER?

    Reality, the spiral of spending started under Bush. He deregulated the markets and allowed the subsequent money grap and crash. Obama was deal a very poor deck of cards and a bunch of whiney players.

    Blah, blah, blah, blame Bush, blah blah blah.

    Can you come up with anything else to defend Obama besides blaming someone/thing else?

    With my conservative Dick-n-Bush hat on:

    We like to mess with Obama, we even set him up to fail, and we as

    conservatives will use religion and FOX to dumb up more people to be like us

    so we can see the half black man fail. We don't care about fact or reality,

    we just want Obama to fail regardless if it screws up the USA. Because we

    don't care about anything that involves libs or liberals or liberators or lib this

    and lib that. We want all libs to fail. Who do those democrats think they are

    with all their fact and reports and stuff. Too much stuff to ponder. I'll just

    make this simple. Obama = fail.

    Actually, the spiral of spending started under Clinton. He deregulated the markets and allowed the subsequent money grab and crash. Bush was dealt a very poor deck of cards and a bunch of whiny liberals.

    Why don't you at least offer an opinion. Saying that Obama is responsible for the economy is like saying Obama was responsible for the invasion of Afganistand and Iraq.

    Why not? Obama is taking credit for the killing of Osama Bin Laden and the Surge in Iraq being so successful. Why not make him responsible for both wars as well?

    If the recovery had have been managed with more competence we would not even be having this conversation. Though I guess the exposure of the rotting structure that is the EU from this latest downturn still would have happened. He can't be blamed for that but he needs to do more to address the fundamental structural flaws in the US economy.

    If you're going to pour money into the economy with stimulus it won't do much good if you have not fixed the leak. In the all important first year there was too much focus on healthcare, while I'm an advocate of it I do not believe it was the time or place. The focus needed to be on the economy because this recovery is taking much longer previous recoveries; even a year ago it was overdue and the blame game or fear mongering is not helping the situation. The current political reality requires both parties to work together and they need to start doing this soon.

    You have selective amnesia. You forget that it was the GOP that got the balanced budget. You forget that it was the Dems that said everything was fine in the housing market that Fanny/freddy was causing a bubble for. Hell, you even for get who was against freeing slaves, ending jim crow, desegrigation, for civil rights.

    Really? I don't think we can be any more crippled as a nation than we are right now. That is of course unless Obama wins another term.

    So if spending didn't work under Bush, why would the "smartest president we ever had", spend even more?

    Let me bottom line it for ya. Obama spent in 1 year more than all the years of the Bush tax cuts. If Bush wrecked the economy with that spending, then Obama took it out in the woods and shot it between the eyes with his.

    If you want to be accurate, the big post WWII spending orgy started with libeal Democrat Lyndon Johnson and all his socialistic programs, plus the Vietnam War.

    Obama is more of the same kind of idiot. He's run the debt up more in 2 year than W. Bush did in 8 years, but you leftist morons ALWAYS ignore that. Today Obama just wants to spend hundreds of billions more on his make-work socialism and all this "shovel-ready part 2" crap that he and the idiots around him dream up.

    I hope the government shuts DOWN from now until the end of the year. If Obama or the Senate would pull their heads out of their asses, they might see daylight When you're flat-ass BROKE you don't spend money like a brain-dead liberal Democrat! Doh!

    Yeah, like the Republican Congress held a gun to Clinton's head and forced him to sign that bill into law. A responsible President would have simply vetoed it. :rolleyes:

    Obama is just pandering to his liberal base - the sort of hair-on-fire lefties we have around here who are convinced that conservative Republicans are evil.

    And Obama has to because his poll numbers among hardcore base voters is slipping.

    Next week he'll be lecturing us on the need to tone down the rhetoric and how we should all try to get along.

    All this blame this one or that one is irrelevant.

    Obama and that fugly DNC chairPERSON have both said that this economy is THEIRS now.

    She said "we own it."

    Do I need to post that clip again?

    Classic projection on Obama's part. He's destroying America with progressive policies. We have to put the progressive movement in the dustbin of history, if we are to survive as a nation.

    There are those films, Don. We are the bad guys in them.

    Cripple America? Really?

    His comments are laughable! Same as his record as President of the United States. LAUGHABLE!

    A crippled America may be far better than the one that Obama has almost destroyed single handedly.
