Then why is it the liberals and the media have blamed this on GWB?
liberals blame GWB for the same reason Conservatives blame Obama and the Dems. It's politics.
Nobody "gave" GM and Chrysler to the UAW. Shareholders weren't made whole - which is what's supposed to happen when you hold shares in a failing company. That's risk.
You have been respect full, this is what is wrong with this entire admin and the level of un true information that the media and this admin along with Pelosi and Reid
putting this country in the level of debt that congress and he has is wrong, period
And to try and compare the GDP and UE rates with any other president without stating that first is wrong
lets not forget GWB had a recession, 9-11, Enron as well as the stock market crash of 2002
in his first 24 months in office
There is no meaningful comparison between the economy faced by President Bush and the one faced by Obama. and didn't we just get done establishing that neither of them is responsible for the economy?
I agree
But
There was reason, it had to do with trying to understand why one took the path to recovery with a tax break, across the board and 2 small tax rebates that in the first 4 years cost us about 7-900 billion in debt total, with 9-11, 2 wars, market crash, recession etc...
The other took the path that has cost us 4-5 trillion in debt in 2, with a market crash, recession and 1 war
With respect
I did not see your response to the UAW
The UAW had no legal right to any of GM nor Chrysler
I must admit they some-how got it, bit scary to many of us
to be honest, that one event to me over shadows everything BHO has done as president by 1000 times
to take money from the US treasury with no permission and intervene in that event like he did is
I will not say anything else

Obama's Illegal Chrysler Plan
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Although Barack Obama ran on a promise to respect the constitutional role of the legislature, he applauded the Bush administration's unauthorized loans to Chrysler and General Motors. And since taking office he has not sought congressional approval for a bailout that is still operating outside the law - proving that he is no more committed to the rule of law in this area than his predecessor
In his piece at Reason, Jacob Sullum addresses the Chrysler deal and the extent of its confirmation of President Obama's disregard for the law:
The last time the federal government bailed out Chrysler, the Carter administration reached a deal with the carmaker in August 1979, but Congress did not approve the legislation implementing it until December. This time around, the Bush administration dispensed with the legal niceties, loaning billions of taxpayer dollars to Chrysler (and General Motors) without statutory authority.
Although he ran on a promise to respect the legislative branch's constitutional role, Barack Obama applauded the Bush administration's illegal loans, and since taking office he has not sought congressional approval for a bailout that is still operating outside the law. President Obama's high-handed engineering of the pending merger between Chrysler and Fiat, a deal that flouts well-established bankruptcy principles, confirms he is no more committed to the rule of law in this area than his predecessor.
