"Bush Wrecked The Economy And Obama Can't Fix It"

[AmericanFirst]

That's much closer to the truth than what we currently hear from the right, including many self-proclaimed Tea-party people/supporters.

They've kinda admitted it with their "Obama made it worse" meme, but that's still not the truth.

Bush and his cronies wrecked the economy so bad it will take a lot more than just Obama and/or 4 years to properly repair it.

This is why I can't and won't take tea-party people seriously. Not the ones who constantly put out the message that Obama made all things bad all of a sudden, which just happens to be just about all of them.

The right will always spin and twist and attempt to wiggle their way out of responsibility, just like they did when they absolutely abandoned Bush after staunchly supporting him for 7 years straight.

This isn't the party that Reagan would recognize, although it is the party that Reagan created.

Obamaturds spending is a heck of a lot worse than Bush's, period. I can not take a dimwit seriously on here because they have no clue what reality is. Idiots.

It took both parties to get the economy where it is Marc.....yes, that means the democrats were part of the mess as were the republicans. Keep it real, dude.

Relax partisan, my OP does not negate that both parties are responsible, however, the BRUNT of it lays squarely at Bush's feet.

How the heck can you expect to lower taxes while spending like a madman on unnecessary wars?

I blame the Democrats for not having the spine to challenge the administration, they were too afraid of the political fall-out. You remember the "if you're not with us you're against us" atmosphere at the moment.

The Dems folded like I don't know what under that pressure.

They certainly were not championing it, they just sanctioned it... reluctantly.

Relax partisan

are you ******* kidding me?......did you have a smile on your face when you typed this out Marc?.......

Most of Obama's debt was already baked into the cake when he took office.

Bullshit and apple butter. We've been over-spending for a few generations now.

Tax cuts USUALLY result in greater collected revenues. It worked out that way when Kennedy cut taxes, when Reagan cut taxes AND when Bush cut taxes.

How ARE things in Bizarro Bushworld??????

"If there's one thing that economists agree on, it's that these claims are false. We're not talking just ivory-tower lefties. Virtually every economics Ph.D. who has worked in a prominent role in the Bush Administration acknowledges that the tax cuts enacted during the past six years have not paid for themselves--and were never intended to. Harvard professor Greg Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, even devotes a section of his best-selling economics textbook to debunking the claim that tax cuts increase revenues."

It's All
BUSHIT!!​

Lakhota,

Obama had a two-year window to repeal the Bush tax cuts when he had a Democratic Congress.

Why did he instead decide to give Wall Street everything it wanted?

Duh, because Obama has no spine - which is why many on the Left are pissed at him.

Actually, FIVE MONTHS of control, typical brainwashed Pub Dupe, from 7/8/2009- 1/20010- would you Rush/Foxbots like a GD diagram??


"Why did he instead decide to give Wall Street everything it wanted?"

Everything they NEEDED- maybe because he had to avert a second Pub Great Depression. You are seriously misled...

So whose fault is that? It can't be Bush's. It has to be Obama's.

Right? Or will you refuse to hold him accountable for his weakness, too?

 

[Lakhota]

I have thought this several times about Obama: I believe subservience to dominant whites is programmed into his subconscious, and that he is intimidated by adversarial relationships with dominant whites. This may simply be explained by the lifelong struggle of a black child and man trying to excel in a predominately white culture. Just my opinion…

 

[hellofromwarsaw]

Obama has a spine. He's STILL trying to change Washington, but it's impossible when you're dealing with "un-American" (TIME) lockstep ideological/bought off morons...

I beg to differ with you here somewhat, MarcATL.

For starters, the situation began in the late 1960's, when President Nixon took power.

The situation continued to get worse under Carter (a Democrat, btw), began to really snowball under Reagan, under G. H. W. Bush Sr.. then Clinton, got even worse under G. W. Bush, and is continuing under Barack Obama.

As bad as the GOP is, the Democrats at large, including Obama also bear a good bit of the responsibility by going along with pretty much everything in the GOP agenda, including and especially our wars, and, generally being complicit. Secondly, if the kind of people that Obama has surrounded himself with are any indication, he's little, if any better than G. W. Bush. Just saying.

Obama lost my vote very quickly, when he voted as he did on the FISA Bill, as well as for continued funding for our war on Iraq, and promising the ante up our war on Afghanistan, which he certainly did. More to the point, although Obama did'nt start our wars or the present attacks on Civil Liberties, he's certainly continuing them. The healthcare "reform" bill that he and his administration passed a year ago last March was a disgrace; it's a warmed over GOP-written Healthcare "reform" bill from the early 1990's, when Clinton was in power, and there are still millions of people who're inadequately covered by health insurance, or uncovered, ;period. Equally, if not more disgracefully, Obama allowed abortion rights to get taken off the table to get this POS healthcare "reform" bill passed.

The Obama Administration also allowed BP to run amok in the Gulf, making an already-bad situation worse, destroying the lives and livelihoods of millions of Gulf-area residents and making millions of people sick, in some way or other. Moreover, he tried to cover it up, which was disgusting.

The way the Obama Administration dealt with whistleblowers like Bradley Manning and Assuage was rather disgraceful. As if.. moving Bradley to Leavenworth was going to help matters any! wow!

We're in about five or six wars, and our latest incursion into Libya is equally disgraceful.

Did I also tell you that after all his promises to help end the I/P conflict and to implement the necessary two-state solution, he backed down, started parroting AIPAC's line(s), and didn't even have the gumption to tell Israel to get their troops and settlers the hell out of West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, stop the rough treatment of Palestinians civilians in those territories, and to allow the Palestinians to create their own, independent, sovereign nation-state alongside Israel, in West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem?

Thanks for letting me rant.

Oh, and did I say that Obama took the exact same positions as McCain during the pre-2008 POTUS election, which is another reason why I got turned off to Obama. I saw which way the wind was blowing from the get-go and did a write-in vote, because I really couldn't stomach either of the two POTUS Candidates. I'll more than likely vote for a viable third party, or do what I did this time around.

You and I agree on many things, but not regarding Obama's spine.

 

[MarcATL]

You are a certified lunatic...seriously...go back to kindergarden.

That the best ya got? Really?

Not a big surprise that you've made zero attempt to refute my points...

Come back when you actually have points to make...not some RW claptrap that you've regurgitated time and time again.

Thanks.
