What does the media mean by Obama should stop blaming Bush.... WTF?
Obama should stop blaming Bush as soon as the GOP stops blaming him for this economic mess.
Mr. Obama, I would never stop letting folks know that we went from a surplus to a major great recession and how we got to this point.
Does the USA even have real journalists any longer? Who has the b*lls to call Republican obstruction out for exactly what it is?
Certainly no one on my TV...

1. Agreed.
Bush left a mess for Obama. The Republicans haven't cooperated in allowing the economy to recover. Those are facts.
Let the blame fall where it should, directly on the shoulders of George W. Bush and his Republicans in Congress.

2. Don't you know
It's Obama's economy now. Blaming Bush is just sour grapes. And we got those sour grapes when Bill Clinton was in charge.

4. Of course he shouldn't stop
Dubya is to blame. Republicans never want to take responsibility for their actions and the media never lets them if they would.

5. Get prepared. Republicans are not going to take responsibility for this mess.
Instead they call Obama the most corrupt president we ever had. However, you ask them for details and they can't come up with any.

21. Obama's mistake was that he didn't start accusing Bush right away.
Obama made the mistake that intelligent people often make when dealing with the less intelligent: he assumed that everyone would know and understand that the mess was Bush's fault.
Too bad. It's almost too late to correct that mistake now.

It's been his one and only excuse since day one. He is such a low class thug that he even brought it up at the unveiling of President Bush's official portrait.I believe it started 20 Jan, 2009.
Remember this image you posted over and over again ?(http://dennisclatham.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/i-got-this.jpg)
What happened ?
Does Obama 'Got This', or is he a political lightweight incapable of accepting responsibility for a job that he claimed he could handle ? And don't get all 'Oh, he didn't know what he was up against' bullcrap. Obama was in the senate, and during the election he was at every morning meeting along with McCain and President Bush. Obama knew exactly what he was getting, and I believe he expected he could charm the blues away - or maybe he was betting that the recession would evaporate on its own, leaving him there to soak up the praise ? Who knows? But either way - Obama chose this path. Man up and show us how you 'Got This'
I think he actually believed that all the crap that he learned from Marxists would actually work in the real world. He is shocked that it hasn't worked an probably thinks that given more time it will.
I believe it started 20 Jan, 2009.

SINCE 2007. Not 2009.
The 40% wealth loss just adds to Speaker Pelosi's "reign of terror" legacy, now"
From 2007-10, under speaker Pelosi:
5 million jobs lost
40% wealth lost
unemployment from 4.8 to 9%
You are going down.
You know for being the smartest person to ever be President ,he seems to have failed to find a way to fix all of those "Problems" he inherited from that dumbass Bush. I'd say it's way past time for Barry Big Ears to fix anything and to send him packing back to Chicago.

That reminds me of the time the presidential seal fell off during one of his speeches. :rotf:
And another thing...
The average American is not into politics as much as us or DUmmies are. How long do you think they are going to let Obama off on "it's Bush's fault" when they or friends and family members are out of work and can't pay their bills?
All you people want to to is blame, that is not going to be a winning argument when you had congress, the senate (both since 2007) and the presidency for four years (two years with all three).
You are going down.
Before Dems took total control of both houses of the 110th session of Congress on 1/3/2007, the unemployment rate was 4.4%.

Love the way the clown and mooshel care so much about the middle class. How many times do these people have to spit in middle America's face before middle America figures out that they could care less about "the poor people".

This guy is a total fraud. He can't campaign on anything he has accomplished becuse he has been a total failure. He pimps out hollywood stars who are disconnected from reality to heard the sheeple. Our country wasn't in the best shape when he took office but it continues to decline while he is in charge. He had a super majority for 2 years and did nothing to straighten out our fiscal situation. He is a failure by his own standards and is too arrogant to accept it. I pray for our country's sake this guy is removed from the white house in November 2012.

I think this is a great idea. Just like I love it when people put Obama bumper stickers on their cars.
This way you can identify idiots at a distance and avoid them in the first place. I think all democrats should be required to wear somthing to identify them.

It's a good thing that we had Obama's Stimulus Act, because without it, unemployment would have gone over 8%.

Obama loves the poor!
That's why he creates so many of them.
at 9:27 PM June 14, 2012
But Obama is just like you and I...
Obama is a total hypocrite who claims to be for the people while actually blatantly being a 1%er.

A disgusting display of the demeaning antics and celebrity hype that this man has brought to the White House and in doing so has maligned the office of the President of the United States.

Figures...he chose someone to help him look "correct" because he doesn't know how to look correct....that is how out of touch he is!
at 9:15 PM June 14, 2012
Mere words cannot fully convey my utter contempt for these abject hypocrites. If I hear one more Obama sycophant say that these two cares about the average person, I will scream. Just can't take these imperious pukes anymore. Novermber can't get her soon enough.

How can one so homely be the editor of Vogue? Two freaky lookin' broads voting for the President...what else is new?

Dumbo will need every penny to buy every vote he can. Professional voters will be the only jobs he'll have helped create in 4 years.
Oh, and I thought Michelle O. said Oprah was too fat to hang around with. Cash is king. These people are pukes, and really Michelle can use this time in Chicago to start getting Rezko's, er, her house ready for January.

"The Devil Wears Obama" (movie sequel)
:rotf:
For those of you who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this:
1/3/2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate & the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember this day:
1/3/2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee & Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU, DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5% GDP & 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac FIASCOS!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the U.S. economy).
And who took the 3rd highest pay-off from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac? OBAMA!!!And who fought against reform of Freddie & Fannie? Obama and the Democratic Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush … REMEMBER 1/3/2007 … THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal & steering wheel. They were driving.

Instead they call Obama the most corrupt president we ever had. There was another, a long time ago However, you ask them for details and they can't come up with any. We give those to you every day. Read and learn.

8. Name me one thing they take responsibility for?

That's why he creates so many of them.
Keep your head up your ass for all I care.
can't get any more elite than this. I think the liberals have it wrong when they paint conservitives as the 1%. It's so the other way around.
Does anyone need another reason NOT to vote for Obama?? The guy is the penultimate elitist, collecting money from the rich and famous, who don't pay taxes because they keep their money offshore, who always vote liberal because they know they can con another liberal and who have distain for the average working American
This is really starting to get old. The only people left who still support Obama are the liberal Hollywood elites and fashionistas, and they are really fattening up his wallet.
The Democrats don't represent the Little Guy they clearly represent the rich and famous.
