The economy created 18,000 jobs 30 months after Obama took office and 54 months after the Democrats took control of congress
When are we going to face the facts, its not working
when is the liberal going to join forces and put a stop to this failing administration and ut a stop to the blame GWB world?
History should not be forgotten.
It will always be the truth that Bush gamed the SEC with cronies who held back the protections written into GLB act so that the lenders could have their way with the economy and the housing market.
Why do you hate history being remembered?

Take away the trillions the wars cost. Take away the trillions in tax cuts. Take away the trillions from the drugs for votes bill Republicans passed throught reconcilliation. Take away the trillions it's going to cost to rebuild Iraq and pay for all the wounded soldiers.
I suspect will would still have Clinton's surplus. That's just a fact.

All they can do is blame him for not having a faster recovery.
The facts are in the bag we are recovering.
They are jsut taking this current slowdown as a partisan foothold to try and get some points for the very people who caused this mess.
You think we are in a recovery? You're clueless.
"Average compensation for the top 15 bank CEOs in the U.S. and Europe jumped 36 percent last year from 2009, according to data compiled for the Financial Times by Equilar research firm.
That increase put the average compensation salary plus bonuses at $9.7 million.
Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs saw their compensation rocket to more than 15 times their 2009 levels. Dimon hauled in $21 million, while Blankfein garnered $14.1 million.
To be sure, theyre still making a lot less than they did at the height of the financial bubble. Blankfein took home $70 million in 2007, while Dimon enjoyed $40 million in 2006."
The problem is you cant blame Obama, either not after only two and a half years.
The doctor/patient metaphor is still apropos: if you were shot in the leg and after 30 months still had a limp, whom would you blame, the doctors who are trying to heal you or the person who shot you in the leg? Clearly the latter.
Given the depth and severity of the December 2007 recession and its aftermath, well more then likely be dealing with its effects well into the next administration, and perhaps the one after that.
You can blame Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, say presidents dont have any effect on economic boom or bust, blame the Tooth Fairy if you like bottom line, you cant blame Obama.
And those who still insist on blaming Obama, its merely subjective partisan dogma.

Still not sure how he's anti-business.
Your dis respect to the navy seals who took out UBL is typical of the liberal
hahahaha!!!
What??
"It was the gutsiest decision I've ever seen a President make, at least, in my lifetime."
I hear GE CEO and "Jobs Czar" Jeffrey Immelt has recovered just fine. Hey,as long he's happy right?
What is Obama supposed to do force companies to hire people?
He could try not fucking them over every few months with massive new regulations.
I just learned that the maximum number of hours a pilot can work without a rest was reduced from 16 hours to 14 hours. As a result, the pilot for my flight couldn't could fly the plan. The flight was canceled and I had to take another one the next day.
200 people were on that flight. There were a number of people going to a wedding who didn't make it. I lost an entire day out of my week. Just imagine the cost of such things happening hundreds of times every week.
Government regulations have real economic costs. Liberal turds don't seem to understand that.
As I recall, Bush (as well as many people in his administration) spent a great deal of time blaming Clinton for a lot of problems. That's pretty amazing considering how good a shape the country was in back in 2001 compared to 2009.
Bush doesn't need to worry about what Obama says. (And frankly, I don't think Obama mentions Bush by name. The president merely says he inherited the economy in this general shape.) Bush needs to worry about what other Republicans will be saying about him in years to come since you know they're not going to be willing to run on his results.

Mustang the point is the media spent 8 years attacking GWB
The GOP has no choice but to distance them selves from him, but history will prove thru 9-11, 2 bubbles, 2 recessions, neither made of his policy, 7 major hurricanes, 2 wars, that GWB did one hell of a job
"Those who encountered Bush in Alabama remember him as an affable social drinker who acted younger than his 26 years. Referred to as George Bush, Jr. by newspapers in those days, sources say he also tended to show up late every day, around noon or one, at Blount's campaign headquarters in Montgomery. They say Bush would prop his cowboy boots on a desk and brag about how much he drank the night before.
They also remember Bush's stories about how the New Haven, Connecticut police always let him go, after he told them his name, when they stopped him "all the time" for driving drunk as a student at Yale in the late 1960s. Bush told this story to others working in the campaign "what seemed like a hundred times," says Red Blount's nephew C. Murphy Archibald, now an attorney in Charlotte, N.C., who also worked on the Blount campaign and said he had "vivid memories" of that time.
"He would laugh uproariously as though there was something funny about this. To me, that was pretty memorable, because here he is, a number of years out of college, talking about this to people he doesn't know," Archibald said. "He just struck me as a guy who really had an idea of himself as very much a child of privilege, that he wasn't operating by the same rules."

Actually, you're very close to being absolutely right. The point I would argue would be that no President is a dictator.... so we can really just blame both parties, and every damned Congresscritter we've elected for the past 40 years or so.
