are you trying to place Obama in the White House when the housing bubble was showing signs of being a problem back in 2002?
my my aren't we defensive today.
I only said you were duplicitous: This manifests itself in your so-called "Objective" interpretation of poll results, when you are clearly a Democratic Partisan.
I like how you partisans will always say Obama has been president 5.5 years....as if saying 6 years gives him far mores credit than he deserves....
PS: Your OP stopped being cogent when you posted the thread outside the History Forum.
Good point.
They take the 5th, which is proof they are guilty of a crime, otherwise there would be no need.
Thanks for pointing out that Statist does not know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to Civics.
I feel sorry for you actually. Leftism hasn't done anything for Jews, but that's your thing....Anyone who can objectively look at Obama, look at things as they are today in the U.S. and around the world and say with a straight face He is a good president is not living in the real world. I suppose you could if you have blind faith in leftism...... that's a problem
Ok, following your logic, I now understand what happened to JFK
Marylyn Monroe, mysteriously found dead in 1962. FACT
Marylyn Monroe had had an affair with JFK-FACT
Bobby Kennedy had been sent by JFK to break things off with MM--FACT
Frank Sinatra, friend of MM, had helped get JFK elected, but JFK had dumped him when he became a liability-FACT
JFK shot dead in 1963--FACT
RFK shot dead in 1968--FACT
Therefore, Frank Sinatra had the Kennedy's killed as revenge against them for their shabby treatment of MM and himself.
And Samson, I am not even going to bore you with the obvious fact that Elvis was on the grassy knoll....
I'm well aware of how the budget process works. When presidents make their budget proposals public, the allies in his party often take those cues and try to make the spending priorities and sources of revenues happen.
So many people have no clue how the budget process works. First, only congress can propose and until they've passed one, the President can't sign it. Secondly, you have to look at the policies that were passed during the admin to see what actually affects the budget long term.
Most Democrats obediently regurgitate the dogmatic party line that the Clintons had "passed along" a balanced budget to Bush, but they always avoid mentioning the fact that that balancing act was performed by a Republican-controlled congress, and was only made possible because of the unsustainable increase in tax revenues resulting from the soon-to-burst dot-com tech bubble. Also they carefully disregard the fact that Federal budgets are only created by Congress, and that ClintonÂ’s role was simply to sign his name to it.
After Bush took office the inevitable happened with the failure of the overheated, tech-inflated, false economy which had been developing during the previous decade. That failure removed the temporary increase in tax proceeds, leaving the pre-existing level of budget expenditures to again exceed the available revenue.
In the November 2006 elections, Democrats won back the majority in both the House and Senate, and in the three fiscal years that have started since then (2008, 2009, 2010), they have run record deficits of $458.6 billion, $1.41 trillion and $1.55 trillion.
The estimated deficit for the fiscal year (2010) of $1.55 trillion is more than three times as large as the $458.6 billion deficit that President George W. Bush presided over with a Democratic Congress in fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2010, of course, Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress as well as the White House.

The Democrats in the House and Senate passed that Omnibus Budget of 1993, and it helped to bring on deficit reduction.

Leaving out Oswald = Fact.
Try to keep up.
WE kept the Oval Office in Good Hands for a while Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr. But then came along slick willy and it was all down hill from there.
Longest peacetime prosperity since 1920, under Clinton.
The least military engagements of any administration.
You really are that stupid, now aren't you...

Yes - Thank Goodness for Reagonomics - Slick Willy got a free ride off of it.
Was that supposed to be some kind of response? Reagan didnt repeal the business cycle. Wow, he must not have been god.
Uh,, there was a president BETWEEN Reagan and Clinton, his name was George H. W. Bush (41) and there was an economic downturn in 1992. Guess that came from Reagan, too.
Gawd, you Righties really ARE that stupid, what?
