If the line in the graph you posted shows a catastrophic blow up of the economy and of unemployment under Bush what does that lead you to believe?How is it a guy who's inherited that is more to blame than the guy who lead us into that ditch?I know you know this but hey lets forget about all the unpaid wars that you backed and pretend its the new guys fault.
Are you saying there was a quick fix to the great recession of GWB?It took Bush eight years to wreck Clintons economy.Give Obama 4 before you pretend you know what you're talking about.
Anyone who supported the Bush years and the trillions of dollars spent in iraq has some real balls complaining about the state of the economy.You spent your kids money on some sand pit in the middle east.YOU are the reason we are in this hole.

And the Korean weggie luncheon was cheap to I bet....
There aren’t many positive aspects to the looming possibility of a U.S. debt default. But there has been, I have to admit, an element of comic relief — of the black-humor variety — in the spectacle of so many people who have been in denial suddenly waking up and smelling the crazy.
A number of commentators seem shocked at how unreasonable Republicans are being. “Has the G.O.P. gone insane?” they ask.
Why, yes, it has. But this isn’t something that just happened, it’s the culmination of a process that has been going on for decades. Anyone surprised by the extremism and irresponsibility now on display either hasn’t been paying attention, or has been deliberately turning a blind eye.
And may I say to those suddenly agonizing over the mental health of one of our two major parties: People like you bear some responsibility for that party’s current state.
Here’s the point: those within the G.O.P. who had misgivings about the embrace of tax-cut fanaticism might have made a stronger stand if there had been any indication that such fanaticism came with a price, if outsiders had been willing to condemn those who took irresponsible positions.
But there has been no such price. Mr. Bush squandered the surplus of the late Clinton years, yet prominent pundits pretend that the two parties share equal blame for our debt problems. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, proposed a supposed deficit-reduction plan that included huge tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, then received an award for fiscal responsibility.
So there has been no pressure on the G.O.P. to show any kind of responsibility, or even rationality — and sure enough, it has gone off the deep end. If you’re surprised, that means that you were part of the problem.
Lets default for the first time ever because some tea party nuts are mad we elected a black guy!

Can we agree Clinton was maybe one of our best presidents and was waaaaaaaaaay better than obama?
He was president during a tech boom he had nothing to do with that pumped up the economy.Obama took over right after an economic catastrophe helped started by the previous administration that squandered Clinton's budget surplus.Not exactly a fair comparison.Oh and your party had such great foresight they tried to impeach Clinton.

Take a look at the attached and explain to me how the economic problems we are having now have anything to do with the Obama administration.
Again the BALLS of people who cheerleaded all the stupid idea's of GWB that led us into this hole to now act like they are some fiscal conservatives is amazing.

The tech boom helped.Also ironically GWB's father wasn't a lunatic when it came to budgets so Clinton didnt start out in too big a hole.Were you alive in the 90's?
Clinton could balance a budget. Question: We outta Iraq or Afgahnastan yet? How does Obamas budget balance? Where do you feel like he ranks so far?
Democrats balance budgets.Let me know the last GOP president who did so.
Are we out of those messy wars you voted for.Not yet.You kind of left us with a pile of shit on that one.Thanks.
He's light years better than the last who in fact is still the main reason we are so fucked up.Its awesome to see that you know this but still feel like you have the right to criticize.If an employee of mine makes a horrible decision I don't really get his feedback when I'm trying to fix his mess.
