Not only that... the Democrats had the Majority in the Senate and House the last two years of President Bush's tenure... Presidents sign the bills passed by the congress...

Who’s ‘we’?

We here at FR have known for quite a while. You all are making big bucks and erroneous, corrupt decisions on faulty logic, and yet we’re supposed to believe and trust you?

6 months, during the campaign, of “O” saying “Worst economy since the Great Depression”, and they didn’t know how bad it was? Give me a flippin break.

Taking them at their word (gag!), how could they have misunderestimated how bad the economy was? They were going around saying it was the worst economy since The Great Depression.

And that was when unemployment was at 5% and the stock market was at 12,000!

Lying assholes.

Dumbasses. You mean to tell me they didn’t have anybody keeping tracks of the Google searches for “bad economy” before they took office?

You mean obama wouldn't have held the most lavish and expensive inauguration in US history if they had known how bad the economy really, really was?

Well, well, well.

So were you idiots then or are you idiots now, or both?

“Nobody knew how bad it was”.

And of course, after Sap & Charade and Univ HealthRationing are passed, nobody will know just how good it’s gonna get, will they? It’s all a grand idealogical experiment in giving people who have not the slightest clue what they’re doing the power to inflict their ignorance upon the rest of us, consequences be damned. It’s so nice to know your intentions are good, that will make a fine excuse when the foundations of the country have been destroyed. What changes to the changes can we expect? More czars? Fewer czars? Czar of czars? Dancing with the Czars?

I saw that a little while ago. Just another disingenuous hump carrying water for the Obama caliphate. They all look alike to me.

No matter how bad they get their a#### handed to them, they just stammer on like they didn’t just hear themselves.

And whats with all these commercials running on Fox where Oblabber is telling us that 1 in 8 Americans struggle with hunger? I thought the government with their food stamp program was supposed to fix that? Could it be that it is failing? no way!

Yes, we knew, but please give these poor morons a break...

They don’t use the usual financial data, models and trends to predict the economy...

They base their economic outlook on how many people
Google “economic depression”

Which is a more scientific method, but they unfortunately were using dial-up and got disconnected when Obama used the phone to make the 3am call to get 31 Flavors ice cream.

No, the reality is that the “stimulus” bill was never designed to stimulate the economy. It was sold as such, but the Dems hoped that the natural cycle of events would cover the fact that it was simply a Dem payback dream project pork bill.

It was in the works before the bottom dropped out last summer, which explains why the Dem leadership didn’t allow time to read it before passing it — they already knew what was in it.

Ozero wastes 3.8 Trillion and NOT one Wash. As*hole lifts a voice! We’re finished. Rasmussen reports that in his latest poll 41% indicated that THEY DIDN’T MIND PAYING HIGHER TAXES IF IT GOT THEM FREE GOV’T HEALTH CARE.
That’s 41 % who don’t pay a single dollar in TAXES! We’re finished!
