Obama Wrongly Accuses Bush (and Paul Ryan) of Causing the Great Recession

Obama has got it wrong. Bush caused the Interplanetary Robot Wars when he refused to increase the budget for AI and additional Android limbs. Ryan caused the problems with the toilet bowl cloggage at Ebbets Field that forced the Brooklyn Dodgers to make the move to LA.

There has not been a single month under Obama where unemployment was lower than the highest month under 8 years of Bush.

Many who are engaged in the business of business, saw Obama coming. We know who he is and prepare accordingly.
I can defeat these bastards by simply refusing to produce thus starving the beast. When their Collective Dream fails as history has proven it always has, what manner of force will the ‘Progressives’ resort to?

Obamathought: { ‘ If I caused a Recession, that - - - , I didn’t cause that! Somebody else made that happen!’}

[plain talk]

The lies and propaganda will work on a large segment of ignorants out there but many of those vote dem anyway. This strategy of bold lies that can be easily refuted with facts will backfire as many independents will break the code.

And, Dick Cheney was the architect of the Clone Wars.

...the economic downturn — begun by negative wealth effects from the collapse in the housing market and then greatly exacerbated by the Fed...

That would put the blame on Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Bill Clinton.

Hard to believe we’ve endured four years of this rupturing multi-million gallon above-ground liquid manure storage tank called the Obama administration.

Gerald Ford inherited a “mess” and yet created 7 times as many jobs as obama - in a half term

The Obama campaign is going to serve the negative “flavor of the day” right on and on, until the election...and if he loses, it’ll be even worse. The LSM will have a microphone in his face 24/7 to get his community organizer position on every move the new president makes.

As a “has-been”, he’ll make Carter look like a piker. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ran for prez again in 2016, after all, the Constitution or laws don’t matter to him. I think he’s totally ineligible now, so he’ll sue or something to get back on the ticket in 2016...Roberts will find some way to rule in his favor.

But this election he’ll slink back to Chicago and get his plans in motion.

But, but, but, I thought that Obama had all the answers in 2008. I guess he wasn’t quite the messiah that he was advertised to be. And if he didn’t know what the f#@k he was talking about in 2008, why should we listen to his nonsense now?

[Chode]

the boy has said "Bush's fault" almost as many times as John Friggin Kerry has said When i was in Vietnam...

[<1/1,000,000th%]

LOL!

Obama just got done saying the economy was great.

What’s he talking about?

[SuziQ]

Good article that provides great refutation points for we who will be discussing these issues with our family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers, who will only hear the headlines on the Nightly News and argue FOR Obama with them.

If we can be polite, but clear in the FACTS, I think we can bring new folks along. And who knows, we might even be able to get them to start not taking at face value everything they hear or read in the MSM.

[Nateman]

Grover Cleveland had two terms with someone else in between.( 22nd and 24th President).

[lbryce]

Thanks. This is priceless.

“Gerald Ford inherited a “mess” and yet created 7 times as many jobs as obama - in a half term”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

And so America in all its radiant brilliance went to the polls and replaced that “failure” with the great and powerful wizard of Plains.

[RipSawyer]

Kerry was in Vietnam? Danged, that’s the first I’ve heard of that. Why didn’t he ever tell us that during the campaign?

[Chode]

hundred bucks says if you add up all the times he said when he was in Nam, it would add up to longer than he was actually in country...
