    Not me. The president is doing it right. It does take time to correct a 9 year plunge, to do it right. cons will never see the light, no matter what the truth is, and then there is the racists morons. And don't tell me it isn't skin color. I've already heard, and seen too much.

    People will actually accept to go back to the Bush policies because the opponent is white. It's CRAZY!

    Add: "daddy" when the President was inaugurated in 2008, the national debt was 10.626 Trillion. Bush put 2 wars, and a expensive drug program on credit card, plus two tax deductions. I guess the republicans weren't to good at math, including Romney.

    How did he do that?

    Isn't it strange that a Republican President can supposedly destroy the US economy, even with the Democrats controlling Congress, but a Democratic President can't get a jobs bill passed?

    Has America forgotten that the last president of the U.S. buried Americans even more? Stop blaming Bush. Obama has FUBR'd these country even more. He has increased the deficit had unemployment over 8%

    Yes, we forgot... The latest Democrat president topped that many times over, so the last republican president looks like a saint in comparison. And we've heard that "Bush's fault" excuse for far too long, we can't remember what his fault was...

  • I remember Bush tried to reform social security and was shut down by the Democrats. I remember Bush warned congress about the housing bubble being formed by the guaranteed housing agenda the democrats pushed whether people could afford a house or not. I guess there is plenty of blame to go around and if we really remembered every mistake we would all vote third party.

    If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

    In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

    That is what they want you to think. The economy was fine until democrats took the super majority in 07. Not to mention the housing market was what clinton created. Clinton also signed NAFT and GAT the trade treaties that sent many jobs to china. So when we talk about what really happend bush was not really the one to take all the blame, look at what obama did to us so far. Stop listening to the media and learn some things.

    Well that's a pretty stupid comment... so are we saying all republicans and democrats are the same??? Funny but i've seen alot of libs on here saying how they wish they could have clinton back..you'd drop the messiah like a hot potato...obama is no clinton and romney is not george bush... get over it already..

    It seems that many have. It was like the nation went from Clinton to Obama, and the Bush years were just a dream.
