Obama: Hold me accountable for high unemployment

[MIPS]

WikiAnswers - How many registered republican voters are there in America



There are roughly 55 million registered Republicans. There are roughly 72 million Democrats. And there are roughly 42 million registered independents.

sounds fishy to me, after all polls indicate that conservatives outnumber "liberals" by almost 2 to 1 , Personally I think we should hire another 700,000 temporary census workers for a recount....

Independents are mostly pissed of republicans

You haven't been reading the polls on independents. They are turning against Obama.

She only reads polls that tend to support her pre-conceived notions of how the rest of the citizenry should conduct the details of their lives, after all somebody has to figure out how to tell everyone which form of oppression is good for 'em .... Sheesh .....

And Obama knows what's good for us!

I mean listen to him tell us "If somebody’s out of work right now, the only answer that I’m going to have for them is when they get a job." Why it's good for us to suffer being out of work. So we will know how lucky we are to be under Obama IF we ever do find a job. And that is one big IF.

Yes it is Obama's responsibility for the current economy

And when the economy recovers, he deserves all the credit

Sounds fair to me

If 2/3rds of independents vote R you still lose.

This is why the republican party works so hard to keep blocks fo democratic voters off the rolls every election.

Just another misdirection trick. Say one thing but then imply the opposite. He says "Hold me accountable" but at the same time he also says "Don't hold me accountable,it's the other guy's fault." Just another Hopey Changey scam in the end.

Typical Tea Partier here.... got a Ron Paul avatar and everything .. might as well lock him up now before he throws on a white hood and intimidates voters with nuclear missiles in November...

Well, we all know what voter intimidation is. It's not being a New Black Panther standing outside a voting place with clubs.

Nooooooooo, it's actually daring to think you have freedom of speech and TALKING out against Obama's policies!

Why Eric Holder has to get on that case right now!!!!!!!

You mean the President should be held accountable for their shocking incompetence? Gee what a genius this guy is. He think that up all by himself or did his teleprompter tell him that? Holding a President accountable? Wow what a new & revolutionary concept. He almost sounded sincere until he threw in the standard "Blame BOOOOOSH" chit. lol! What a joke.

You're missing the whole brilliance of disincentive of producers and inflated incentive on looters and non-producers thing that President Obama and his apparatchiks got going on .... after all if you loot the people that actually produce wealth for long enough you can get Atlas to Shrug ....which of course would be news worthy even for outlets such as MSNBC.

Yeah, let me know what that happens.

My guess is, like Clinton, it will happen once he has a Republican majority in Congress forcing him to take the steps to restore the economy.

Wrong!

the 1993 budget reduction act was credited by the CBO for giving us the majority of the surpluses we saw in the 1990s

Not one republican voted for it.

Obama have a sudden flash of clarity and realize he's the problem????? Nah!!!!! Give that one up!

President Obama said in an interview Friday that voters should hold him accountable for the struggling economy, but that his policies are restoring it to health.

But notice what he says after this. If this isn't STUPID! Obama's off the teleprompter ranch again.

“If somebody’s out of work right now, the only answer that I’m going to have for them is when they get a job. Up until that point, from their perspective, the economic policies aren’t working well enough,” he said in an interview with NBC News. “That’s my job — as president — is to take responsibility for moving us in the right direction.”

In other words, until you find a job, YOU'RE CRAP OUT OF LUCK under my administration.

The only answer you will have for them is WHEN they get a job, Obama???? Yeah! WHEN IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN, given our economy?????

Good grief, this is MORE clueless than Jimmy Carter's malaise speech.

But, if you thought Obama has finally come to the realization he really is responsible for this crappy economy, give that one up!

Obama said he is responsible for instilling the recovery, but stressed that policies enacted by previous GOP-controlled Republicans and former President George W. Bush left the economy in a recession.
“What I’m absolutely convinced of is that we’re going to have a choice, not just in November but for years to come,” he said. “We can go back to all the same policies that got us into this mess, where we basically provide special interest loopholes, we don’t regulate Wall Street, we have a healthcare system that’s out of control, we provide tax cuts to folks who don’t need them and weren’t asking for them.”

In other words, it's really Bush's fault!

I mean how childish is this! It's like trying to get a three year old to take responsibility for making a mess in his room. At first they seem to take responsibility, but then they start pointing fingers at the dog, or his toys, or anybody else who can't defend themselves.

It's pathetically childish! I laugh at this, but it's really not funny because this toddler is running the country.

Oh man that November election can't come soon enough!

He is where the buck should stop after all. I thought this was a fair point:

“What I’m prepared is to be held accountable for the policies that I put in place. But Americans don’t have selective memory here. They’re going to remember the policies that got us into this mess, as well. And they sure as heck don’t want to go back to those.”

But he could mention that TARP was enacted under Bush. Although since the link is a blog which doesn't provide a link to the interview, we dunno the full context of all his statements based off it alone.

Bush lost the election and Obama won.

Bush also fucked things up so badly he had to bail out all the banks because of his failure.

now I suppose you will try and blame obama for what bush did in the fall of 2008?

The Economy wont recover unless there is some real change. The Socialists/Progressives cannot provide that needed change so i wouldn't be too optimistic. The best this Administration & Democrats can hope for is that people buy into their bogus economic numbers like "Saved Jobs" and their tired "Blame BOOOOOOOSH" stuff. Some will always buy into that stuff but many wont. It's all smoke & mirrors for this Administration from now on. Their Economic numbers just don't add up. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out though. 2010 could be the beginning of some real change. I hope so anyway.

So next year when things truely start to humm you will find some way to deny its happening or you will give the credit to some crazy assed thing other than Obama.

We all know this is the facts, even you.

You will never see anything good in your mind as long as there is a letter D after someones name.

Given the Republicans numbers in the Congress at the time, that would not be possible. I would LOVE to see your proof for that.

Don't tell me, Wikipedia????????

So next year when things truly start to fall apart you will find some way to deny it is happening or you will give the credit to some crazy assed thing other than Obama.

We all know this is the facts, even you. <-- poor grammar alert

Interesting and all this time I thought that the legislative branch passed laws who knew it was those sneaky bastages at the unelected CBO all along ?

In find it interesting that liberals keep wanting to harp on TARP since Obama has done the same thing TWICE since Bush left office and things have only become worse.

It's like Bush blaming Clinton for his economy because Clinton did something similar (but what I cannot imagine)

It's INCREDIBLY LAME.

For pity sake liberals let your president stand on his own too feet instead of him leaning on Bush.

All that tells us is who is the greater man, since Bush wasn't leaning on anyone else. He stood on his own feet and took responsibility for his actions.

WHEN WILL OBAMA DO THE SAME?
