GEORGE W BUSH got us out of the recession...AND
Imam Obama started a new one.

Suuuuurrrre it did. Next, they’ll piddle on my leg and tell me that it is raining.
If I didn’t know better I would think there is some election year Obama spin going on here. I’ve been reading the comments on twitter about this. You can imagine what people think of this “news”.
