Oh Puhleeeze! We've all heard the "it's all Bushes fault" excuse a million times already. That's wearing quite thin. Even if Bush caused the problem, Obama promised he would fix it. He hasn't.
If all that spending was bad for the economy, then how is tripling down on it good?

Those jobs were lost because of what Bush put in motion before he left. Two wars unpaid for, tax cuts unpaid for, jobs sent over seas resulting in unemployment, new welfare and food stamp receivers, homes in default, homeless ness and hunger. The 2008 "worse economic crash in history.' 8.2% that would have been 20% if not for Obama's policies. Get you head out of your butt and take off the blind folders. We are better off than we were 4 years ago.
Its starting to get better, says survey respondent Kelsey Simeon, 21, a mechanical-engineering student at California State University, Sacramento, in a follow-up interview. Strip malls that were empty are starting to fill up. Everyones going out to eat more. People are spending more money on non-necessities: clothes and iPods.
More Americans now say they are personally better off since President Barack Obama took office than worse off, the first favorable reading for the president on that question since Bloomberg began asking in December 2010.
Thirty-eight percent say they are better off while 36 percent say theyre worse off. In September, the last time that question was asked, only 27 percent said they were better off and 44 percent said worse off.
