Where have you been, all Obama does is take credit.

What he does not do well, is take criticisim, he then blames everyone else for our economy's mess. this person, that person, little green men, Bush, the Feds, anyone but himself.

At some point a big man, who takes credit, can also take the negative with a grain of salt! Something Obama does not do.

Almost 4 yrs later, would think the majority of people can see thru his blame games, those that can't it is their friggin problem.

Uh. 2008 and 2009 was not just Bush. It included an unholy list of people from BOTH parties both in and out of government.

Nonesense!!...


When you consider that when a person applies for bankruptcy, it stays on their record from 7yrs and up, Bush had us projected in that direction. Obama took us back from the brink, put things in place so we dont get screwed again, those things take time. After 4 yrs, are you better off??... YES YOU ARE!!!

I'll put my DNC hack/Obamalemming hat on and make it real easy for you:

If there is something good, it's because of Obama.

If there is something bad, it's because of Bush.

See how easy it is to understand these simple government grubs?

When somebody can convince me that taking a budget surplus and turning it into a deficit by unfunded tax cuts, then getting us into 2 unfunded wars, one of which was based on fabricated "evidence" and paying off the banks for bad behavior wasn't done by GWB and his Congress, then I will give Obama the credit for the economy.

Otherwise, this mess was, at least in part, cause by GWB and the GOP congress who ran the show for 6.5 out of 8 years.

Congress was run by the Dem's starting 2007. Bush last deficit was 500 billion plus have not seen that in Obamas years.Over a Trillion dollar deficits every year.Does Obama take any credit for those deficits?
He promised us that if the congress gave him his stimulus program that UE wold not go above 8% has not been below 8% since Obama . Does Obama take credit now 3 years later? Obama promised us that transparency would be part of his administration yet he passes a bill that even Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass it to know what is in it. or is it all Bushes fault?

Your indebt, you dont have the income to pay the bills you currently have. You increase your charities, increase your luxery spending and then start using high interest credit cards to pay other credit cards.
That kind of sounds like what got us into trouble. Doing more of what got you into trouble doesn't solve the problem.
After 3 years of Obama am I better off? A little but not at all due to Obama's policies.
