It happened because he took over and had to deal with Bush's mess. The economy was going downhill when he took office and he has managed to stall it while the economy gets better slowly and steadily.

To blame someone for the mess that they didn't cause in the first place is wrong, and you know it.

What's more, housefold average wealth fell nearly 40% thanks to the meltdown by about the end 2008, while Bush II was POTUS.

But blaming Bush II for that disaster entirely is about as ignorant as blaming Obama for the continued effects of that meltdown on incomes.

Time to grow up and recognize that POTUS is not the king of the economy, boys and girls.

That might have been valid 3 years ago. But after 3 years with unprecedented access to government the Democrats really can't blame Bush anymore.
The problem is not Bush's recession. The problem is Obama's recovery. This is the weakest recovery on record, and appears to be close to an end anyway.
Obama's policies have produced records: lowest growth out of a recession, highest unemployment, lowest work force participation, highest decline in household income, highest decline in household wealth, etc. Why anyone thinks this man deserves a second term is beyond me.

The economy doesn't simply turn around in 3 years.

This is a capitalist economy, you know. You can't control where our money goes when there is constant outsourcing, price gouging, hoarding, etc.

Bush Era tax cuts have still yet to expire, which means a Bigger deficit (up to almost 1 Trillion)

Despite corporations having tax cuts, they are hiring less, laying people off anyway, and all of the higher up positions keep making their paychecks bigger and bigger at the expense of everyone else.

Small businesses keep going under while big business chains keep getting bigger.

Tuition prices keep going UP, UP, UP when college is still shitty and gets you NOWHERE do to the oversaturated job market.

The US doesn't try to import wealth through immigration (wealthy immigrants who WANT to come to the US)

Political corruption and lobbying

etc.



Just look at Romney's main contributors. They are all corporations who helped cause this mess. They see him as an investment for their benefit of putting more $$$ into their pockets, and have no problem screwing the majority over just to get what they want through illegal means.

Proof positive the economy is rebounding!!!

ALL HAIL OBAMA!!!!!

Its been more than 3 years,the Dems got the house in 06 had if 4years still have the Senete and the white house,just how long is needed?

Performance like this in the private sector,gets you out the door and it should.

And where has the debt gone?? down??

Obama gets money from the same people are you going to call him out on it also,or just choose to be a tool??

It did for Reagan, Clinton, W, but not the great Obama?

This is a capitalist economy, you know. You can't control where our money goes when there is constant outsourcing, price gouging, hoarding, etc.

price gouging?, give examples

outsourcing? Why are jobs outsourced? Perhaps the cost of an american employee is waaaay higher than many countries? Taxes, regulation, and artificially inflated labor costs?

Hoarding? What does that mean? BAnks should loosen lending? to people who cant pay? Isnt that what got us in the issue the first time?

Bush Era tax cuts have still yet to expire, which means a Bigger deficit (up to almost 1 Trillion)

So why didnt Obama and the democrats stop the tax cuts?

Despite corporations having tax cuts, they are hiring less, laying people off anyway, and all of the higher up positions keep making their paychecks bigger and bigger at the expense of everyone else.

Do you realize how business works? we can do a whole thread on this one.

Small businesses keep going under while big business chains keep getting bigger.

You do realize that regulation hurts small buisness and not big business as much? And if you are a small business trying to become a big business, those regulations really tear you up and make it hard for you to achieve the success you want

Tuition prices keep going UP, UP, UP when college is still shitty and gets you NOWHERE do to the oversaturated job market.

WAIT TUITION keeps going UP? Why dont democrats EVER talk about it? And it was the liberals who wanted to lower standards so everyone can go to college? It started in the 60s, and you're right, now if you have a college degree you might get a job at McDonalds, that why college shouldnt be pushed on EVERYONE...and this is the same reason the min wage is a joke, different application, same principal....

The US doesn't try to import wealth through immigration (wealthy immigrants who WANT to come to the US)

Again what does this mean? What wealthy immigrants?

Political corruption and lobbying

Is this new?

etc.

Ok I'll play along

 

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

It's all about creating more government dependency, let someone else pay for it. You think it was a coincidence that Obama introduced free contraception as a re-election issue, then anyone who makes the claim of being "responsible" and pay for it yourself must mean a "War on Women"? Democrats have always tried to create division as a means to obtain voters to support their cause of BIG Government. Whether it be: blaming the rich, the Republicans, the oil companies, average retirees who made GM stock investments as part of their retirement portfolio (that turned into pennies on the dollar, favoring unions), Obama has always been against the successful for more government dependency. He traded an oil pipeline for unemployment extensions and encouraging food stamps, what more can you say about his view of the role of Government?

 

[LilOlLady]

Village Idiot, do you remember what Obama come into office "under?"
Exactly what has Obama done to add to financial disaster he inherited? Two wars unpaid for was not his, tax cuts for the rich was not his, the healthcare disaster was not his. Jobs lost was not due to anything he did. Banks and auto industry and wall street was already failing. And a $10 trillion debt and growing, 7,8% unemployment and growing. A network of terrorist. WTF bitch?

 

[Liberal]

Jeeez..

It couldn't have anything to do with losing 750K jobs a month the first 6 months of his presidency... Or that we are rebounding from the GREAT recession... That's unpossible!

My electric bills go up during the summer time when it's hot outside... That has to be Obamas fault!

This again is why America is finding Neocon politics to be irrelevant.
