Thats just off the top of my head.

Tally that all up and it left us in debt TRILLIONS.

Nice try but none of these issues wrecked the economy.

The GOP stinks.

That's exactly what I thought. You are great at making blanket statements but when called on them you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to back them up (as is the case with most loonie moonbats). Thanks for proving this obvious point.

Where were you then in declaring that spending needed to be cut? This was the period when most in the GOP had their head in the sand. Foot in mouth, head in sand. That's the GOP way.

Obama has started another war in Libya but of course that's fine by you. Please explain which Bush policies caused things to fall into crisis mode. What was the date they were encated? Who controlled congress at those times. Oh- sorry....you've already proven you can't do that. I guess there's no need to beat a dead horse....

Lessee here.... Perhaps poor timing, but lookee here!!

Democratic bill to end oil subsidies is defeated in the Senate - CNN

Gee a "Party Line Vote" that defeated the bill to end oil subsidies....

I'll leave it to your imagination which party shot it down...

But let me ask you another question while we're on the subject: You are wondering why the Dems didn't propose this while they had full control for TWO years? Let me ask you why the Republicans, who supposedly have the answer on healthcare (though to this day I don't think anyone has heard it), didn't propose THAT in the SIX years that they had full control?

Staring in that mirror gets rather ugly, doesn't it?

When Libya broke out I got a chuckle from republicans back tracking after they supported a no fly zone because Obama actually did it.

I also got a good laugh about republicans complaining about how much the Tomahawks missiles cost...since when do they give a damn about how much Wars cost?

If anyone took credit it was Clinton who let people buy homes that they could never afford or they never learned to be responsible for themselves.
I have always lived within my means paid my bills,taxes,saved for a rainy day where was the government when i needed a loan or help? Where was my deduction for interest on a loan? Where is my bailout? The tax code is unfair and i'am tired of carrying dead weight around so they can breed more of the same sitting on their a$$e$ while they smoke a Camel.
Too many young men walking and doing nothing all day drawing from the well and returning zilch no wonder we our in this shape today...just my opinion.
Bull...... Bush said in early 2006 that, and I quote, ""If houses get too expensive, people will stop buying them... Economies should cycle."...

LOL!!! Yeah, my hero!!!

Is this really the type of issues you are going to
base your vote on?
"What has OBAMA done for YOU lately"

- OTHER THAN PERPETUAL WAR

You DO recall that Republicans held extension of Unemployment Benefits hostage in order to get Obama to relent on extending those cuts, right?

Yes we would. He was handed a budget already about a Trillion dollars in the red....

I personally wish he hadn't have authorized the stimulus as I firmly believe it only served to put off the inevitable economic reckoning still to come... But take heart!!! This way, you can blame it on Obama, even though it was coming no matter who was in the White House...
