This economy didn't just show up fully formed in Jan 2009. But the Bush blaming does start to wear a little thin after 4 years.
He pledged he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, but he failed miserably.
Well, that was kind of a dumb pledge to make given that we know now how serious the trouble was that the economy was in. And GOP obstructionism certainly didn't help.
He said he would bring all the troops home in his first 16 months in office, thereby ending the unfunded wars problem you mentioned, and again he failed to do so.
Actually I think he said all combat troops home from Iraq, which he did. And he also kept to President Bush's timeline to bring the rest of the troops out of Iraq as well.
Instead of criticizing his actions, you lay the blame on republicans, who really have little power to stop this idiot as he takes our country down.
The GOP has been responsible for the most do-nothing congress in history. Their hold on the House, of which gerrymandered districts are responsible, and having the filibuster in the Senate has allowed the GOP to block President Obama at every step. So yeah, the GOP does get some blame.
But the country isn't going down. The recovery is starting up and as long as the GOP doesn't play the fool with the debt ceiling talks we should be ok.
Holy crap. Dude. You parrot the talking points of the left. You haven’t gone liberal on us, have you?
The recovery is starting up...
