The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...

January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush..

REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 &2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

So only the POTUS gets credit for upturns in the DOW, but Congress gets blamed for downturns.

Got it.

Obama gets credit if Reagan and other Presidents do. Why can't conservatives be consistent? Is it in their DNA to be like Paul Ryan? http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/221157-paul-ryan-is-caught-in-a-lie.html

just the facts ma'am

In an interview Monday, former Rep. Mike Oxley, a Republican who chaired the financial services panel from 2001 through 2006, said that bill was a lost opportunity to overhaul Fannie and Freddie.

Oxley noted that Rep. Frank helped deliver Democratic votes in favor of it. If the bill had been signed into law in 2005, Mr. Oxley noted that there would have been two years — 2006 and 2007 — during which the regulator could have tightened control over Fannie and Freddie.

Mr. Frank noted, as he has repeatedly over the past two years, that Democrats had little ability to do much about questionable mortgage lending practices or the structure of Fannie and Freddie. That’s because Republicans controlled the House of Representatives from 1995 until 2006. Democrats took over the House in 2007.

just the facts ma'am


yeah I know mediamaters...but just try refuting one fact... :eusa_whistle:

Morris falsely claimed Frank "killed" Bush's "proposed measures to rein in Fannie Mae" | Media Matters for America

During the April 8 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, contributor Dick Morris falsely claimed that "in the 2000s, when Bush proposed measures to rein in Fannie Mae, [Rep.] Barney Frank [D-MA] killed them." In fact, for much of the 2000s, Frank had no power to "kill[]" measures -- Republicans controlled the House and could have passed legislation regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the House without any Democratic support.
 
According to the cracked logic of some, Democrats are communists, which is why they only decided to save capitalism when allegedly pro-business types said, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt".

Yup, they got into the House in 2007, just about the precipice of the artificial Bush-bubble. And they responded to the crisis by saving capitalism while the current Speaker of the House cried on the floor like a baby.

Imagine that, communists saving capitalism while free-marketeers cry like sissies.
