Washington Post: Democrat obstruction unprecedented

[Oldstyle]

But Republicans set a precedent of putting partisan politics above the "good of the country" while we were in the middle of two wars and the biggest economic collapse in 75 years

Uh....no, snowflake. The Republicans were trying to stop the collapse Dumbocrats caused with their idiotic socialism.

The Great Bush Recession of 2008 was directly caused by President Bush's refusal to take any economic actions during a severe recession

If Obama had listened to Republicans and not added any stimulus to the economy, let the banks and auto companies fail, not extended unemployment.....The Great Bush Recession of 2008 would have turned into the Great Bush Depression of 2009

TARP was W's baby...not Obama's. How can you claim that Bush didn't take any economic actions during the recession?

 

[Oldstyle]

One of the oft repeated claims by the left is that Obama increased spending by a smaller percentage over the President before him than almost anyone. It's a totally misleading statistic however because George W. Bush had already committed the country to a massive stimulus program. Yet people like Winger now claim Bush didn't do anything to combat the recession? Don't make me laugh!

You are correct. Bush started TARP but it was very late and too small. Republicans overwhelmingly supported TARP funding for Bush as well as most Democrats
100% of Republicans voted against TARP for Obama

Both history and economists have proven your idiotic socialist theory wrong. Furthermore, even if it wasn't wrong, the president had no constitutional authority to bail out private corporations or extend unemployment. Thanks for playing chief.

You just proved what a criminal and dictator Barack Oabama was.

Actually, History showed that we avoided a Depression, that the stock markets and unemployment rate reversed shortly after passing Stimulus and TARP under Obama

Once again, Republicans were proven wrong

Trump doesn't like to work? Trump is up before 6 AM everyday and works until after midnight typically! He's probably the hardest working President we've ever had. He's actively working on policy changes to fix things in the country. Compare what Trump does to what Barry DID why don't you? Barack Obama didn't come up with any of his Administration's legislation...that all came from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. What did Obama REALLY do? He flew around the country on Air Force One doing rallies to drum up support for the work that Reid and Pelosi were doing. Barack Obama doesn't have the faintest idea how to craft legislation or run a large organization. He was an empty suit relying on others to do the hard work of governing.

WTF??

So Obama didn't come up with the ARRA? And he didn't push it through the Congress just weeks after being sworn in? Trump says he inherited a mess ... nearly 2 months in office -- how many proposals has Trump pushed through Congress? How many bills has he signed?

Obama didn't come up with anything, Faun! Legislation in the Obama Administration came from Reid and Pelosi. Barack Obama wouldn't have the faintest idea how to write new law...he has a long history of affixing his name to the legislative work of others. He did it as an Illinois State Senator...he did it as a Junior Senator in Washington.

Do you ever stop lying, ya con tool?

Legislation always comes from Congress. But the potus in the primary leader of the agenda of issues, and what the overall goal and benefits are supposed to be .. and cost.

Trump has no focus. Price's bill didn't increase coverage. Now it's supposed to be "access" to treatment. Trump hasn't given a major speech on that. And NO ONE knows how the gop's bill increases "access." People will have less money to buy healthcare.

Did you seriously just put forward the notion that Barack Obama had any clue what the cost would be for legislation that Pelosi and Reid cooked up? With all due respect, Ben...it's quite obvious that Barry didn't have any idea what Pelosi and Reid were doing legislatively! Legislation was never his "thing"! He couldn't write it when he was in the Illinois State House and he couldn't write it when he was a Junior Senator in Washington. What makes you think he suddenly was able to because he became President? The reason that Obama was given "pants on fire" ratings for things like "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor!" and "If you like your plan you can keep your plan!" is that he didn't know what was in the Affordable Care Act. It's the same thing for job creation from the "Obama Stimulus"! He had to sheepishly admit that there really weren't any "shovel ready jobs" created by the stimulus package that Pelosi and Reid created and ran...something that he would have already KNOWN if he knew anything about how the stimulus worked! The truth is...Barry did public relations work and ran for reelection while Pelosi and Reid handled the progressive agenda.

You are entirely dependent on Narrative, I've noticed..

One thing I've learned over the years is that Narrative dependent posters are either liars or Useful Idiots....

Alt-news?

Nope! Just simple facts. You know - those things you can't deal with so you have to call them "alt-news" and hope that other people believe you.

Please....did you even notice who the author is?

it is an extended partisan whine......Trump was entirely unprepared for this task.....for which he is entirely unsuited....

You put a man in a job he is not qualified for, and has no experience of, and this is what you get

Or you get the last 8 years.

 

[bendog]

Not with Trump unless things change. I could see the Gop's concern with Obama. Obama did not view US interests in the ME as I do. I don't have a problem with the Iran deal, basically because there was going to be one whether we were part of it or not. And I don't think Israel is an ally beyond being a good place to experiment with defense tech.

Unfortunately, the gop is divided domestically and probably cannot pass much legislation.

I have no idea what OS was trying to get after. But with the recovery act, all of it besides the stimulus spending was pretty much bipartisan post-WWII recession response.

but aside from healthcare, most issues today aren't rocket science. Unless they are rocket science.

You are correct. Bush started TARP but it was very late and too small. Republicans overwhelmingly supported TARP funding for Bush as well as most Democrats
100% of Republicans voted against TARP for Obama

Bush called for 700 billion in TARP spending yet less than 500 billion was spent by the time TARP was stopped. As for who voted for or against TARP?

"The revised HR1424 was received from the Senate by the House, and on October 3, it voted 263-171 to enact the bill into law. Democrats voted 172 to 63 in favor of the legislation, while Republicans voted 108 to 91 against it; overall, 33 Democrats and 24 Republicans who had previously voted against the bill supported it on the second vote.[6][12] President Bush signed the bill into law within hours of its enactment, creating a $700 billion dollar Treasury fund to purchase failing bank assets.[140]

Interesting how you now claim that Bush was late and too small with TARP when in fact he asked for a whole lot more than was eventually spent!

What exactly was that cite supposed to illustrate, Faun? That the Obama Administration didn't have a clue how the stimulus would be spent by Pelosi and Reid? It's obvious from reading their projections back then that they DIDN'T! What's telling is how badly they estimated what would take place! You're talking about people who didn't have the faintest idea how jobs are created or sustained.

Actually, history has shown that you make up your own reality and your own "facts" in every post you make. Sorry sweetheart - there is no denying reality no matter how much you want to. Obama obliterated the world economy and prolonged the Great Obama Recession. That's why the American people turned to Republicans in record numbers during the 2010 midterms.
