Can people explain themselves?

ok, so i was just looking at another politcal question and i saw the quote "...obama destroying this once great country." This is not taken out of context, i just can't remember the first few words. How can people plausibly put blame on president obama for our country being destroyed by him? He was handed the largest recession since the Great Depression, he was given the country in the middle of a war, and bush added another $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit. Are people honestly this stupid that they can't see that we are still a strong country? Our country is too great to be taken down in a year.

    We were not happy about Bush doubling the Deficit in eight years why would we be happy about President Obama doubling it in14 months?? TARP the plan Bush signed and Senator Obama voted for gave billions to Banks. Those Banks are paying their people more than banks that did not receive TARP Money. They are giving out fewer loans than banks that did not receive TARP. Bush did not stop Fanny and Freddy from passing out sub-prime loans to individuals had no hope of repaying. Senator Obama did nothing to stop Fanny and Freddy. President Obama has only blamed Bush and has not taken any responsibility for his own part of the melt down. Remember the stimulus that would keep unemployment under 8% it went up to 10% nationally and I live in a state where it is 13%. Over half of the money is still not spent and the CBO says it will cost a trillion not 800 billion. Has President Obama taken responsibility for that. The fact is that when either party completely controls the government it grows.

    God bless

    Spirituality isn't some thing which you will call .. good that's recommendations, innovations, yet no longer some thing good. so as that a man or woman of religion FAILS to materialize issues.. is anticipated. What do you exist.. that they pull a bunny out of a hat? Or tutor you a written checklist via the Romans that Jesus became God. ... stuff like that doesn't exists. Even interior the terrific case the help for the Jesus tale is susceptible. And the only thank you to perception that's.. via believing it! that's no longer any sensible help for something that must be achieved interior the authentic worldwide. that's form of a chocolate coin once you elect to purchase a motor vehicle.

    I honestly and truly believe that it all boils down to ***drum roll*** RACISM! That's right, boys and girls, you thought it was gone, but it has reared its ugly head again. They think that the black man in charge is seeking to change the status quo, and the blacks and other non whites will take over and kill all us whiteys.

    I know what you're saying. "Dude, aren't you overreacting just a bit?" I would respond by first saying, don't call me "dude." Then I would say that it is the only logical choice. Just look at the vast overreaction that Obama's opponents have resorted to. They call him a socialist (which makes no sense, what kind of socialist would give billions of dollars to big banks?) and they even question whether or not he is even an American citizen.

    It's all there in black and white (ha, get it?), and I see it in my daily life. The older ladies at my work who have shown to be racially bigoted are avidly against Obama.
