Poll: Bush still blamed for economy

[uscitizen]

Seems liberals have a problem understanding that and ignore personal responsibility in any issue. Look at what happened when Bush tried to reform SS and the outrage on the left due to their potential loss of power?

Entitlements are the sacred cow and now liberals have just created another one.

For those that blame Bush for the deficit and debt, they seem to have no problem with Obama putting Bush spending on steroids and creating a larger govt. which of course means less debt to the American taxpayer, LOL.

Think now, what would America look like if Bush 'reformed' SS? Bush wanted to take wealth from from Main St. and give it to Wall Street.
Republican values.

Bush wanted to create wealth for all americans. That is the difference between republicans and democrats.

Democrats want to bring every down to make it "fair". Republicans want to bring everyone up.

lmao.

Good one there.

intended consequences aside, bush oversaw a sudden $17,000,000,000,000 reduction in wealth for all americans. in the course of 6 months or so. the causes can be drawn in part to policies from his oval office. the only thing republicans 'bring up' with their economic policies in the last 20 years, is last night's dinner, when americans think of the losses we took in our home and retirement assets under his bullshit.

$17 Trillion in wealth lost....that was Bush's vision for "creating wealth for all Americans"

 

[uscitizen]

$17 trillion lost. Where did it go? Can we find it?
Is it with the WMD's?

Or was most of it bogus and never existed in reality?

 

[Rinata]

Is your radical left wing blog's opinion supposed to mean something?

I didn't think NBER was a radical left wing organization, you big dope!!! THEY did the research. Not Media Matters.

I'm talking about the first paragraph douche bag.

Media matters is a radical left wing organization.

You're so full of crap. Name something they have lied about. And provide some proof. Try something new instead of being a name calling low class little jerk.

 

[MarcATL]

Don't forget Katrina was Pres. Bush's fault too

Someone RIGHTLY holds Bush accountable for the generational theft he committed on this nation with that UNPAID FOR UNNECESSARY war he gave us and THIS is the pablum you come back with?

WoW!!

How IDIOTIC is that?

[boedicca]

A corrrect headline would be how Government Spending At All Levels has destroyed our economy.

There is not one person or party to blame for this. Greedy public employees are bleeding out the country. The only thing that will save us is to cut back on government employment levels, reduce compensation and benefits, and restructure the pension system.

 

[MarcATL]

Cut your s#!t Bodegga...Bush teared down the entire economy single-handedly with his Regime...I mean Administration.

A couple decades before that Reagan began with the MASSIVE spending.

Lets get real here.

I wasn't aware they were responsible for the financial meltdown? Stupid me assumed it was greedy investment bankers that caused the collapse

Poll: George W. Bush still blamed for economy - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

Former President George W. Bush gets more blame for the country’s economic troubles than his successor or the Democrats who control Congress, according to a Harris poll out Wednesday.

Thirty-one percent of the 2,344 adults surveyed said Bush deserves the most blame for a rough economy, leading the second-place Wall Street by 6 percentage points.

Democrats in Congress were blamed by 16 percent of those polled, while President Barack Obama was blamed by 14 percent. Republicans in Congress were blamed by 9 percent of respondents, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was blamed by 4 percent.

A majority of Democrats — 53 percent — blamed Bush for the economy. Republicans, meanwhile, blamed Democrats in Congress more than Obama.

“The memory of President George W. Bush and the state of the economy he left as part of his legacy still sticks in the craw of Americans,” wrote pollster Louis Harris in his analysis.

Republicans were also split when asked to identify the most powerful figure in the GOP.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney rated highest with 14 percent, but he was swamped by the 44 percent of respondents who were either “not sure” or would have picked someone other than the eight Republicans listed.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin finished second among Republicans with 13 percent. She was trailed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader John Boehner and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor.

I remember when g bush the first was in office..

cons like limbaugh said "you can't blame the current economic situation on bush....
everyone KNOWS that, when it comes to the presidency, the current administration faces the problems created by the PREVIOUS administration"

and every con in America said ..."why...that's TRUE! that's RIGHT!"

then
when clinton was in office...
cons like limbaugh said "those evil liberal democrats! It is TYPICAL of them to try and blame the current economic situation on bush!" what dastardly bastards they are! g buss had NOTHING to do with todays current economic situation"

and every con in America said ..."why...that's TRUE! that's RIGHT!"

then
when g bush the 2nd came to power...
cons like limbaugh said "you can't blame the current economic situation on bush....
everyone KNOWS that, when it comes to the presidency, the current administartion faces the problems created by the PREVIOUS administration" (that would be clinton)

now that obama is in office.....
every con in America
completely forgetting (are they brain dead? on drugs?) their FIRM BELIEF that the mistakes of the PREVIOUS administration are the source of todays economic problems,
blame it all on obama.....

cons...

so stupid

so easily manipulated by the con press....

reminds me of what they did with regards to bush v clinton v bush and "supporting the troops"

when bush the 1st was in office and got us involved in the gulf war
limbaugh said (about libs and dems) if you DON'T support the war
then you do NOT SUPPORT THE TROOPS!...it can NOT be done!"

and every moronicon in America said "that's RIGHT!" "that's TRUE!"
"it can NOT BE DONE!"

then
when clinton got involved in the bosnian thingy...
republicans had a closed door meeting.....
from which they emerged and announced......"we do NOT support the military action but we DO SUPPORT THE TROOPS!"

which was immediately repeated by limbaugh (and every other lying sack of conservative crap)..."It CAN BE DONE!" they said "you CAN support the troops without supporting the war! and only a LYING LIBERAL who HATES GOD and America would EVER say otherwise"

and (big surprise) every deranged loonytune moronicon in America said "YES! It CAN be done! you CAN support the troops without supporting the war!"

then
(you'll be shocked)
when g bush the 2nd got involved in iraq......

they reversed themselves once again...

"if you do NOT support the war then you do NOT support the troops...."
"it can't be done...."

cons
they'd be comical if they weren't so dangerous

The BRAD BLOG : Giles Admits O'Keefe, Breitbart ACORN 'Pimp' Story was a Lie: 'That Was B-Roll, Purely B-Roll'
Giles Admits O'Keefe, Breitbart ACORN 'Pimp' Story was a Lie: 'That Was B-Roll, Purely B-Roll'

Speaking to Washington Independent reporter David Weigel today at CPAC, Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute in James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart's infamous, highly-doctored, heavily-overdubbed, secretly-taped, ACORN hit videos, confirms what we've been reporting for several weeks here: O'Keefe never dressed as a pimp in the offices of ACORN.

Reports Weigel today [emphasis added]:

I asked Giles about a criticism that’s often been leveled against them — that they hyped up the video by wearing outrageous clothes in promotional materials and the videos’ introductions that they didn’t wear in the actual stings.
“We never claimed that he went in with a pimp costume,” said Giles. “That was b-roll. It was purely b-roll. He was a pimp, I was a prostitute, and we were walking in front of government buildings to show how the government was whoring out the American people.”

"B-roll" refers to footage shot separately and later inserted during editing, as frequently seen in movies and television. E.g., an overhead helicopter shot of Las Vegas, used to establish where the scene takes place, before cutting to the interior of a casino where the main character is seen playing cards at a table.

Giles' admission is in stark contrast to:

O'Keefe's knowingly deceptive appearances on Fox "News" "dressed exactly in the same outfit that he wore in these ACORN offices up and down the Eastern Seaboard";
Breitbart's out-and-out lies in his own 9/21/09 column to help promote the videos by claiming they show O'Keefe and Giles "going to the Baltimore offices of ACORN ... dressed as a pimp and a prostitute and asking for - and getting - help for various illegal activities"
