A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
...he said his administration was also confronted with a "financial crisis that threatened to plunge our economy into a Great Depression, the worst that we've seen in generations."
"We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world," Obama added.
He said his administration had acted swiftly to save the economy from "imminent collapse." -(http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-43692420091104?sp=true)

Funny, what happened less than one year into Dubya’s first term?
And the left said that it was whose fault?
Hmm..
What is even more maddening is we have a roadmap, left to us by Reagan, that points to a way out of this recession: lowering taxes and lifting the heavy regulatory hand of government. Instead, Congress and Obama are taking us in the other direction. Government is tightening its grip on our economy and our lives, and taxes are going up if Congress puts through all of its suicidally expensive programs. Of course, Obama thinks he is smarter than anyone who has ever come before, smarter than our Founding Father and really smarter than Reagan, and has no clue about history and human nature. We are so screwed.
Every president has to deal with what is left to him by the previous president. Obamao is the first one I’ve heard complain and whine like this. It speaks volumes about his character, or lack thereof, and it speaks volumes about the people who never tire of hearing it. Obamao has taken a bad situation, one that everyone saw coming, and made it worse. The very thing that got him elected, the sudden and unexplainable drain of 500 billion from the market — probably engineered to get him elected — is the thing that knocked over the house of cards. Obamao can’t have it both ways. Condemn Bush all you want, but know that we would be a lot better off right now, if Bush and the adults were in charge. For certain our troops would be better off.
Our man-child president just makes excuses for his own lacking.
The resulting waves were worse than they had imagined and have collapsed the economy further than they expected. These narcissistic demons are a menace to humanity.
Sorry, but the first taste that the American public holds him and the democraps responsible for this worsening mess was last week at the voting booth.
On a lighter note that dog is so cute. He’s looking right at the camera.
