Well, I know conservatives like their frivolous impeachments, but you actually have to have just cause to impeach - not just policy disagreement. The founding fathers saw people like you coming miles away.
To the larger point, you seem to forget that Reagan's approval ratings dropped below 40% in his first year from the liberal economic mess he inherited. Unemployment peaked 2 1/2 years into his presidency. Liberals at the time were making the EXACT same arguments you all are. They thought they had Reagan in the bag. Still went down as one of the best presidents, no?
You won't believe me, but just watch Obama follow the same trajectory. I'll predict it right now: the economy recovers in about year 3 of Obama's presidency giving him plenty of time to mount a successful re-election campaign based on a track record of success.
Only time will tell, though.
If YOU hadn't noticed.......Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama are NOT the SAME people....and these ain't the freakin 1980's!
NO similar "trajectory" in approval.....awaits THIS POTUS and especially since his agenda and those he has associated himself with.....have ALL been exposed. for Obama-lovers and worshippers! 1 more, for good measure
Guess what?
A LOT of folks aren't too big on BO's affiliation with ACORN, SEIU, Van Jones and other Mao-worshippers and Communist radicals.
MANY more.....do NOT want anything of his HC "reform" and already know what it REALLY is all about.
HE has LOST......ANY TRUST he may have had....once, with a lot of folks. TRUST has faded....with BOTH parties and the entire Govt. and we ARE BROKE, as a nation....now.
BO....just doesn't hang with the same "types" that 'ol Ronnie Reagan did, you see?
I do believe your credibility just blew out the window. That's a pretty outrageous claim to make.
My credibility with you was already out the window because you believe what you want to believe, even when evidence says your wrong.

Tell me how Bush is to blame?
Eastern Europe is set to slow abruptly in 2009.
Tell me how Bush is to blame?
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (ex-Russia) with growth expected to slow to about 2% in 2009, with Ukraine and Kazakhstan being hardest hit by the crisis.
If it is, you won't have any problem backing up your claim.
I already did, you just chose to ignore it, but here it goes again..

For your information, the GOP held both houses of congress from 1994 - 2006.
I see your problem, selective memory.. Democrats took over the Democrats took over the Senate in 2001, not 2006.. See chart above..

He did not leave with a surplus, he left with trick borrowing from the SS budgets to appear like there were surpluses, but if you want to pretend its all Clinton, then 2001 there was a surplus, and imagine the surprise, Bush was president..

Who has denied that Bush left office with two wars going on? Thats kinda his job, a job Obama asked for. The Worse recession, possibly, but what did BUSH do to cause it? Record debt, I think you need to look above, and then again reply..

When did I blame Bush? No wonder you guys keep blaming Bush on topics relating to Obama, because you cant point out Obamas accomplishments and need to deflect?

So you are saying that if it wasnt for the "incompetent" Bush years, Obama wouldnt have been able to accomplish becoming president? That speaks louder than anything I could have said because if an Obama supporter cant support him based upon his own accomplishments, then who am I to argue?

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean. I was merely saying that much of the rise in the deficit is attributable to the November 2008 financial collapse.
Wrong, much of the deficit is due to how the financial collapse was handled. There were much better, and least costly ways to handle it. Ringing up debt was just one of the ways, and we all see how effective that result was..
