The next 4 years Obama will make sure Bush and republicans own this economic situation we're in now and why would Americans have any doubt it's not true? I have not seen Bush out there telling Americans how we got here. The majority of those who voted for Obama didn't even know the democrats controlled congress since 2006.

Even worse, while we stood behind Bush's WMD and the Iraqi war he threw us under the bus by going on TV and practically stated that he regrets going into Iraq for the reasons stated.

What's next? Will Bush go on TV and state that his policies destroyed the US economy just to be 'Mr. Nice Guy'?

If the Republicans want any chance at winning, they need to start pointing out that all the Dem plans reward failure and hurt success. Start with the bank bailouts and the car companies. These guys blew it, they made loans that couldn't be paid back and they made cars people didn't want to buy. And the dems gave them our money to do more of the same.

Next bring it down to the personal level. The dems want to bailout people who bought houses that they couldn't afford then stick you, the hard-working, bill-paying taxpayer with more debt, even though you do the right thing. The dems give your hard earned money to people who make bad decisions, such as dropping out of school, doing drugs, having kids before marriage. And the working stiff has to pay for it. When questioned about it, they attack you for being greedy. It is not greedy to want to keep what you earned; it is greedy to expect other people to give you their money.

It's time the republicans got over the fear of being called racist, and start pointing out what everyone knows. Dems reward failure and bad decisions and punish honesty and hard work.

"The majority of those who voted for Obama didn't even know the democrats controlled congress since 2006."

I guess all those ratings Congress had between a 9 - 16 approval rating were for the Republicans who were no longer in charge.
