I don’t see why everyone is blaming Obama. If we all just sent the $92,000 each we owe the government this would be over with. It our fault. Especially the TEA Party. And Bush. And Volcanos. And Tidal Waves. And Global Warming. Not Our dear leaders and CERTAINLY not the Democrats.

Absolutely.

While he did inherit a mess, he did not have to make it 4 times worse, 2 years running. Losing our rating was his mess. That was HIS choice.

Funny how this guy is quick to take credit for everything and quick to blame others for bad things...

What he inherited was an AAA rating.

That *should* be the battle cry for 2012. But is the GOP smart enough to run with it? The same GOP who gave us John ("We have nothing to fear from a Barak Obama presidency") McLame?

To hell with them, “WE” can run with it. They can join us or the unemployment line they helped create.

Damn...every president since the beginning of our country has inherited some problems. And every president has dealt with them without whining continually, three years into his term. Obama was touted as "brilliant" and the man with all the answers.

But, even though the economy wasn't the best when he took office, remember to tell all who blame the Tea Party, the Republicans, S&P, etc....

Obama also inherited a triple AAA rating.
And under Obama's poor leadership and policies, we lost that.

Me neither. So the Dow closed at 10,809. But just think how much worse it would have been if not for Barak Obama. It may have gone to zero. So essentially, Obama "created or saved" 10,809 points on the Dow.

He always has an excuse for anything that goes wrong. Nothing is ever his fault. The buck stops anywhere but his desk.
Obviously he’s never had anyone explain to him what `stand-up guy’ means, or the meaning of the exression: `Man-up!’
He’s a miserable excuse for a man. I’m tired of looking at his foolish face.

OBVIOUSLY... right wingers are too stupid to see that. Not like THE WON who had the foresight to destroy the economy in order to save it!

Just imagine the “economic problems” the Kenyan and his ‘RATS are leaving for our grandchildren to inherit. They aren’t going to be very happy campers.

True. But it’s scary to realize that though Bush spent like a Dem on a binge for 2 terms, it pales on comparison to what Obama spent in a mere 2.5 years.

Yep, and he couldn't even handle that.

Hey, but the talking points are saying "HE got binny-laden. And that's the reason HE (The One) should be re-elected. Hahahahahahahahaha
