Obama did get elected, so the economy is crap.

I am not the least bit enamoured of O, Geithner, Bernanke and their socialism for $50m a year banker ways.

But it is many years of Republicanism and Greenspan's expansionist monetary policy that put this economy in the toilet. No President can destroy an economy in 3 months short of nuclear warfare.

The economy has been going downhill for decades. What you are complaining about is the crisis that resulted, but that is like complaining about the angina attack after a lifetime of big macs with supersized fries.

Really and the 8 years of the Clinton administration who reappointed Greenspan have no hand in this. Especially since the dot com bubble happened during the democrats admin.

It's called the business cycle and the democratic congress of the last 2 years and the fully democratic controlled government of the last 4 months has only exacerbated the economic decline.

To pin this blame on the Republicans is ridiculous. I would much rather have the republican's poor spending policies over the current steroid driven spending the democrats have in place.
