Anyone that thinks the recession was caused by Obama is an idiot.

Neither Bush or Obama are to blame for the economic crash.

You dont have 30 years of policies destroying the economy, or the economy wouldnt have cycled..

But, even if what you said was true, why then would you expect government to be able to fix, what you just said it destroyed.

The recession bottomed before Obama was even sworn into office. If Obama had done NOTHING, it would be recovering because thats what they do. The fact that its not recovering, makes one question what is going on..

Compare that to hope and change, where we are rivaling the great depression if it were not for the bubble the federal reserve is, by creating cheap money. 5 years of the second great depression(No plan, just a hope and a prayer)
Oh and don't forget that the return to "normalcy" in 1921 is what led us to the Great Depression. So I would brag too much about that era.

So you don't think Congress is the most polarized it has been in current history? Interesting.

...something that Obama's policies have failed to remedy, and have even made things worse by exacerbating the economy with new cost burdens, new lost jobs and created economic instability and uncertainty.
