Because in 1994 a young lawyer named Obama sued Citibank to change housing loan qualifications so that minorities could buy houses they could not afford. Over half of these loans ended in foreclosure. So you see the housing crash which started the down turn of the economy was Obama's fault.

I don't care what he inherited. I can see him trying to do another stimulus when the first didn't work. No one throws good money after bad. I heard him say shovel ready jobs weren't do shovel ready after all. I am not so stupid not to see these things and know they are just dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Go to the movie 2016 and see the list of what Obama has done, sending money to other countries instead of helping our country. Strange things that do not make sense. I wish Clinton could have explained those things to us tonight. Why Obama has done so many stupid and dumb things that were suppose to help us but didn't.

Wake up and smell the coffee is right. Obama doesn't have to explain himself, he just does it. Things that do not make any sense.

Yes this as well. Old man Barney wasn't the only twit involved in that fiasco. Now we have a president that wants to redistribute the wealth. Get a clue that means your wealth as well. It won't affect him though. He talks about how evil the wealthy are but he is part of the wealthy. He knows how to stir up the crowd with emotions to vote for him again, Well I am not buying it.

Record-high profits + Record-low taxes = Republican equation for a booming economy. What happened?

I blame him because while he inherited a terrible recession, fixing it wasn't his priority. My problem is than rather than put focus on fixing the economy, his administration used the first two years of his term (when he had full control of the Senate) to push through healthcare reform. With unemployment at 9%+, the Democrats focus was pushing through that mess of a healthcare bill rather than dealing with what was our country's primary problem. How can we afford to buy health insurance when we can't find a job?

If his house was on fire, Obama would be vacuuming rather than running for the fire extinguisher. He made healthcare reform their main priority while millions of us sat around unemployed. This makes be believe he puts his interests first and what's best for the country second and I cannot support that attitude.

Nonsense. Harry Reid has sat on every piece of legislation. Now you know why so the democrats would have something to feed the swooners that it is all evil congressors faults for stopping Obama from fixing everything. AS if anything he proposed would fix anything to begin with. When was the last time he met with his job council? Six eight months ago I believe. That the republicans fault too? His highly touted stimulus that he shoved through did nothing so exactly what makes you think anything he proposed would have worked? HOPE???

He has not had a single idea that has helped this economy. He has not met with his own jobs council in over a year. He has had 4 years to stop the bleeding and has only continued the failed Bush stimulous to the point where we are so far in debt now we cant see daylight.

Seriously, if Obama were a republican you would be screaming in the street right now. He simply does not know how to run a country or a business for that matter.

You want to blame only Bush, but it was a democrat program Freddy/Fanny that brought the house down. And besides, I would not put Bush back in the white house, but I would put a good businessman in so I vote for Romney.
