Pretty sad and telling about Obama ... he can't lead his way out of a paper bag and all he can do is blame others for his failures ... Obama is no leader ...

Same to Obama. You really think Americans want to continue to hear excuses from him? Hes been giving excuses and blaming everything on Bush, earthquakes, ATM's, internet cafes, acts of God, ect. So yeah, please Obama, keep up the excuse game. While your stupid mindless drones will eat it up (see post I quoted) most independent Americans with common sense and decency wont like it.

Like it or not liberals, there are still plenty of Americans who dont respect or look at someone as a leader, who always gives excuses and passes blame. He has had 3 years to get it right, and he failed. It is on him.

Not true. He's been trying to stimulate the economy through a golf stimulus which has created endless shovel ready jobs for grounds keepers.

You cant tell them that. I had a thread yesterday where I was practically begging for liberals to tell me another POTUS who has complained, blamed and given excuse after excuse like Obama has. Not one could give me a name or example.

You have to have very, very low standards for whom you respect and look to for leadership, if its someone who is an excuse and blame machine.

Shovel ready needs to be changed. Shovels are too quick and productive. Stimulus could've lasted longer and people could've been employed longer if shovels were replaced with spoons. From now on I will refer to stimulus work as "spoon ready" jobs.

It's not Bush or Obama, it's repub trickle-down and deregulation started 30 years ago. Taxpayers are rewarding corporations for outsourcing jobs to take advantage of dollar-a-day workers, and shipping the products back to sell to American workers now unemployed. An extra nickel for shareholders. The repub "free market" is on a worldwide search for slave labor, and demanding taxpayer support for this.
Repub media lauds their "free market" philosophy while at the same time demanding taxpayer subsidies and bailouts. "Privatize the profits and socialize the losses" seems to be the right wing business model.

50,000 U.S. factories closed in the last ten years - by design, and subsidized by taxpayers to move to corners of the planet where the cheapest labor is. So we move the jobs overseas but leave the customers here. Does this make any sense - at least for manufacturing? We forgot about Henry Ford's philosophy - that his employees were to buy his product.
And the goal of "conservative" media is to get the American worker to accept his or her fate.

Obama is NOT running against BUSH.. so the BUSH comparisons or bashing is simply avoiding the obvious..
The problem with this is BUSH can longer do anything about the economy, but Obama can.. so the question is do enough Americans believe he will...

I blame President Obama for not letting this economy drive us into a world of a few Romneyite Princes and millions of near starving peasants.

I don't really blame Bush for anything because he was and is too drunk and stupid to make a difference. The thieves that infested his failed administration are to blame.
Left-wing worship at its finest.

Do you blame Obama for any part of the $16 trillion national debt?

What does it make a person who make a claim then post an article saying something different?

Well those independents aren't about to vote for Obama again, so his party will pay the price in November.
