We are in uncharted territory. 99 weeks was a record and now this. It is also worth remembering that the states pick up part of the tab. Blaming Bush just doesn't wash.
If he admits the benefits will slow employment as he passes them, that wont help him either. His best political option is demi-god and lie and blame Republicans(at this point this is not a very good 'best' option for him to have.) . Some will buy it. Our job is to throw it all back at him.
LOL. You just blamed Bush by agreeing with Obama that Bush would expand them too. Gee, I wonder why Obama mentioned Bush. LOL.
Bush set so many free pass precedents for Obama I cant count them all. Making believe doesn't make them go away. Nor does it make it right just because it was Bush was doing it in 2008.
Obama didnt do stuff because Bush did stuff, but Bush gave Obama his endless excuses not me, I didnt get up and sell TARP for Obama to spend, that was Bush. It was Bush that worked with Pelosi 2008 on stimulus I not me. Bush bailed out GM so Obama could forever not me.
