How many ignorant people still believe Obama is to blame for our economy?
It cracks me up that people keep pointing fingers at Obama. If you knew anything about politics, you would know that it takes up to 2 years for a policy to take effect. Hence, all the job losses are from the previous administration. Obama may spend a lot of money, but its because he has to. Don't blame the man trying to fix what Busch screwed up. Look at the stats...The economy is always stronger when there is a democrat as President.
And yes, I spelled Bush as Busch for a reason.

I blame Clinton. Project Mainstreet USA - check it out. Under Bush's admin, my bonuses were paid, my house was worth more, my father was employed, my last house sold for a nice profit and life was pretty good.
You need to research the Freddie/Fannie, Feds, Clinton, Barney scheme before you can possibly blame Bush.

HaHa, LDNZ said she blames Clinton?! Ummm, in case you didnt know, the US had the strongest economy in over 30 years during Clintons run in office. Home ownership was at an all-time high and umemployment was very low. I could find a high paying job anywhere back then. Maybe NAFTA wasnt the best idea but it sure was good times then. I think gas was like $1/gallon back then. I think this guy is right, there are a lot of ignorant people out there.

Nobody can blame it all on Obama. The fact of the matter is, our country has been taking economic blows since our previous Presidents father was in office. It's unjust to point fingers at any one President in particular, because even if they didn't start it, they clearly aren't fixing it. We're not the President but we're stuck with this one for another 3 years so we just have to roll with the punches and have faith that our founding fathers are looking out for us.

mostly i blame Congress for the bad things going on, but dude seriously open your eyes. If something goes wrong people are going to look at who is "leading." he knew that territory when he took the job. And considering he is going along with that congress is telling him to do, that makes him just as guilt. Hey it comes with the territory of being president. something goes wrong, its on your shoulders. Happens with every president not just Obama.

The only ignorant person right now is you. Here you state "if you knew anything about politics..." I then just started laughing about the rest. You obviously do not know anything about politics or this has to be a joke. I am hoping its a joke, because I like to think people are not as stupid as you seem to be.

simply by fact the Speech author knew that those few words would desire to effect in a pair ballot factors the next day with a suitable programmed teleprompter. do no longer think of for a 2d that Obama even knew he grow to be asserting it on the time. The speech writers would desire to software "the yankee human beings would desire to consume shirt and die" and that i guarnatee you a number of it would get on the air!

Problem is that much of the economic problems are caused by corporate, federal reserve, and other factors that no president can control even if they wanted to risk assassination by attempting to control them. Last president that did try was JFK.

Both houses have been controlled by Democrats for over three years. Congress spends the money.
