You mean Obama didn't enter office with an economic decline well under way courtesy of the Decider?
I will say that Bush didn't do great job in all things, but he was also handed a shaken economy and it was complicated by a terrorist attack that was seen by many in the know as being precipitated by the weak policies set forth by his prior. But Bush, after being advised to, stop blaming all his problems on those before him, some in the media didn't, but I don't remember Bush bitching about Clinton and the Dems day after day after day after day. It seems a bit whiney and isn't all that respectable of a trait in a leader. I think the present CINC needs to start behaving like one.

And why is it that Republicans who supported massive bailouts for for the financial and auto firms decided helping laid-off workers was a welfare program?
If I recall correctly it was always intended that the Banks and Auto Manufactures were supposed to pay back their bailouts.......with interest.
Are you going to require the same of the unemployed? If not it doesn't seem all that unreasonable that we should have to save somewhere else to assist our fellow citizens through this issue. I believe I read somewhere this morning where our own Julie doesn't have health insurance so that she can afford to eat. The governament really doesn't have the right to spend beyond their means either. It seems that we could trim spending on Pakistand, North Korea, Rain Forrest research or a whole of less critical government programs until we have everyone off the couch and ......... woooorrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkking. Assuming that's possible.

Even though it was paltry compared to the money given to those companies.
Given?
Uhmmmmm TARP is the only programmed that was actually championed by 43. I have been told by the current administration that much of that has been paid back in full. Are they lying to me about that too?
The Auto Bailout is Obama's baby, and supposedly they have or are paying that back as I have mentioned twice now in this very post. Again, is that a lie?
quote:
Where was the demand for cutting spending elsewhere when they voted for TARP?
I think I covered this question, TARP if paid back was actually an investment. Did the Congress let them off with no interest paid?
Why does it seem like many folks around here are more interested in furthering their own agenda rather than discovering the truth and righting this ship?
Now don't take this as me siding with Bush, but your (the liberal element) continuous mello-drama about "it's all Bush and the Republicans fault is starting to make you appear infantile, incompetent and unable to solve the problems you claimed you could, hence making you a worthy candidate for dismissal.
Man up, work hard, have success, make mistakes and correct them like all grown ups do and you might earn some respect, or else your gonna need that unemployment.
The Bull has spoken.
