Interesting Article by an Interesting Analyst.

Most liberals are going to blame Bush and say the stimulus was too small. We need to a lot of research on the liberal gene and find a way to inform the future parents.
 
"...the “solutions” being offered by the White House are a doubling down on the failures of the past. The unprecedented reckless spending that led to the first-ever downgrade of the nation’s credit rating has been met not with introspection and a new approach, but with calls for more spending."

Do you ever think? There is no playbook solution to the fuck up that was George W. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.
 
The snag is of course is McCain would have done much of the same things, presidents run the economy from the same playbook, regardless of party affiliation. And presidents may only implement the policies Congress will allow.

The author makes the same mistake as most partisan conservatives in that presidents have little short-term impact on the economy – we often don’t see the result of a given president’s policies until years, perhaps decades, after those policies are implemented.

Given the severe and comprehensive damage the economy sustained after the December 2007 recession, there’s little or nothing Obama could have done to further ‘damage’ the economy: one can’t make a disaster out of a disaster. And any effort to ‘fix’ such a devastated economy – by Obama, McCain, Bush, or Reagan, for that matter - would be utterly futile.
 
So Obama followed the playbook of Bush ... Got it ... And Clinton was only able to balance the budget because the Pub congress allowed it ... Alright, if you say so
 
I happened to come across an article by a political analyst Derek Hunter which reflects my views 100%. I don't recall reading his other articles, but I am looking forward to it. Perhaps you might find his article as interesting as I did. The following is his link:

It's Mourning in America - Derek Hunter - Townhall Conservative

Fun read by a true partisan hack. He seems to be of the opinion that since things are bad now, and Obama is President, Obama is responsible for every bad thing. Despite this, he offers ZERO evidence to support his opinion and offers ZERO examples of what Obama did to make things worse.

Like I said, it was fun to read a piece by someone who was bent on only trying to assign blame, but over all, it's crap.

If McCain would have done the same thing why do you support Obama? I thought everyone who voted for him wanted change.

Presidential administrations actually have quite a bit impact on short term economic cycles. it is the long term ones they have difficulty managing. Reagan's policies had enough immediate impact on the economy that he was able to get reelected based on them, and the fact that everyone could see that things were getting better. Obama's, on the other hand, have failed miserably.

Hmm. Obama's policies failed miserably huh? So, we lost the auto industry? We have 11% unemployment? The economy is shrinking? Fewer people have health insurance?

No?

Hmm.

I hear this, as if it somehow excuses Obama's incompetence.
But McCain would not have implemented Obamacare. He would probably have vetoed Dodd-Frank. He would not have pushed global warming. And on and on.
No, this economy is Obama's alone. He had a chance to turn it around but blew it because of blinkered ideology. Now he is toast. He is out of solutions because he cannot think beyond what he has been told.

Gotta love that revisionist history.

Yes, Obama had an economic plan when he campaigned. But, if you're being honest, you would also talk about how the Financial Crisis didn't hit until the last month of campaigning. Obama was not elected to fix the Financial Crisis, but that's the only thing you guys ever use as a bench mark. Kinda funny in a sad way.
 
Just where was a solid plan suppose to come from in the Obama White House? Hardly a soul with business experience or sense in the room. You got a guy running the IRS who didn't pay his taxes. If it didn't cost us money at every turn, this would be a comedy sitcom. On cable, because it would be worth paying for.

Yours is the typical unsubstantiated bullshit that can't refute the irrefutable facts in my op-ed.

Wow are you fucking stupid.
McCain, Obama headed to Washington for bailout talks - CNN
Obama was elected SPECIFICALLY because he appeared to have answers to the unfolding crisis while McCain was clueless. McCain had been gaining in the polls until then and when the crisis hit Obama pulled way ahead of him.
But even if what you write were true, Obama had from Sep to inauguration in January to formulate a policy. The Stimulus was the result of that. And we see how that turned out.

It is patently insane to disclaim Obama's disastrous record in the past two + yrs by bringing on moral equivalencies of the past that are light years from being anywhere near equivalent.

Obama's intent is clearly a desire to cause a cataclysmic change from an Enlightened Capitalistic Economy that resulted in America being the Greatest Nation on this Planet for the past 200 years to parroting the failed models of Communism, or Socialism in Europe.
 
Obama campaigned on anybody but a Bushlike president. Then he came one. Ironic huh?
 
So Obama followed the playbook of Bush ... Got it ... And Clinton was only able to balance the budget because the Pub congress allowed it ... Alright, if you say so

Obama is a probably a devoted Communist. Obama is most definitely masquerading as a Socialist. That is clearly not who Booooooosh is even in anyone's wildest dreams or fantasies.
