Those People and Things Obama has Blamed for the Financial Mess
 

It's amazing anyone tries to defend this bullshit.

George W. Bush was such a bad president..it was criminal.

they complain about blaming Bush but they keep trying to rewrite history of Bush.

So I take it you don't believe there was $5 trillion in losses due to Dot.com bust?

You also don't think 9/11 occurred?

Or NONE of the worst hurricanes in history occurred?

Those events NEVER happened then?

NONE of which were the fault of Clinton except the Gorelick Memo which prevented CIA from sharing with FBI Chinese donations to Clinton in exchange for missile technology.. which would not allow CIA to share with FBI about 9/11 hijackers...

And NO ONE blames ANYONE for the worst hurricanes in history..
BUT what do you think happened to the Trillions of dollars of businesses, assets, stock, inventory, lost revenue that those events caused?

ARe you totally UNAWARE that the IRS allows tax payers to subtract those $ 8 trillion in losses over 30 years and this was about $200 billion a year that started in 2002 and continues??
AND you don't think that had any affect?

They happened but Bush was tragic in the way he handled them. Bush had one agenda and it was the same agenda they have always pushed Right Wing /Transnational Corporation agenda.

Are you from another planet or does LYING just come naturally to you?

On September 18th, 2002, CNN's John King announced, "That's why the president, in almost every speech, tries to remind voters he inherited a recession." Five days later, his colleague Suzanne Malveaux regurgitated the same line, reporting, "[Bush] took up that very issue earlier today, saying -- reminding voters that the administration inherited the recession."

Karl Rove claims Bush didn't blame Clinton for the '01 recession. Oh really? | Crooks and Liars

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, in separate speeches Wednesday, both claimed the U.S. economy was already in recession when they were inaugurated in January 2001, implying the blame for the slowdown rested on President Clinton's shoulders.

Bush says he inherited recession - Aug. 7, 2002

We knew that our flu vaccine manufacturing marketplace had withered from neglect for much of the 90s, and we began taking aggressive steps to reverse that environment as well as prepare for challenges such as the one we face this year with a vaccine shortage.

Listen.....I know you idolize Bush II but to hold him blameless for 9/11 when he was CLEARLY warned by Clinton is a bit disingenious and an outright lie.

And Bush is also 100% responsible to his reaction to 9/11 with his invasion and occupation of Iraq that got thousands of our military men and women killed FOR NO GOOD REASON.

Republicans are so much better at re-writing history than making history.

Funny you list all Bush's fuck-ups. Even more funny there's a thousand or more posts blaming them all on Obama.

If you guys are going to lie, you need to be more consistent and stay on message.
