Holy crap? Democrats had been in the majority in congress and the senate for two years when Obama was elected. You could make the argument that democrats set up the financial collapse as the biggest October surprise in history. The "man" who was holding all the cards was the powerful banking chairman and he confessed that he had "ideological blinders" on when Fannie collapsed.
Well you could make that argument, but then you didn't read what he said about,
Good evening. I'm Congressman Paul Ryan from Janesville, Wisconsin and chairman here at the House Budget Committee....President Obama just addressed a congressional chamber filled with many new faces....Our debt is the product of acts by many presidents and many Congresses over many years. No one person or party is responsible for it. There is no doubt the president came into office facing a severe fiscal and economic situation.
So now your argument falls flat on it's face.
Only if one is ignorant of the GOP defense of the Shrub's reaganomics on steriods. Just ask McCain or Cheney or Ari Fleisher or the host of neocon pundits from Fox News Clear Channel the WND, etc., etc.
Yeah, when they were in power the neocon mantra was that the Shrub was gold even when he was fucking up. But now that they can't escape the reality of history, it's suddenly EVERYONE'S fault. Sure, I'll point the finger at Nixon's 5 year Plan, Reaganomics, Clinton's complicity and Nafta screw-up...but the Bush family isn't going to skate on this.
see?
