You just proved that that is a lie with this very post.

So are any Dems explaining about what they did the past 2 years and why it didn't work ?

Nope, they are going to avoid this at all costs. If they do answer you, it will be the R's fault.

But I thought the economy was already in recovery before Nov 2010 when the reps handed the spendwits the worst defeat in 70 years.


Nice try to lay blame on someone besides the fool in the WH.

Another thought, Obamabots said it takes time for things to happen, the reps have had control of one side of congress for ONLY a few months, so how using the lefties ideas can they have had time to do anything?

Have you already forgotten that you had 100% control of both houses of congress for 12 years!!!!!! Yet you took the Clinton money and slammed it into the ground WHILE YOU WERE IN CHARGE. OMG I can't believe our Pres O, couldn't fix your mess in a whole TWO years, other than saving the auto industry and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and at least stopped the slide into oblivion that we were on during YOUR years. Kwit Kaveching! You had your chance, you blew your chance and now you are just another WHINING. (but cute....Obamabots....we're all getting so clever in our name calling. Teababy)

Hmm, what power and control did republicans have in 2009-2010? Answer is, zero. 0bama and the democrats had complete and utter control for the past two years, and they still have the majority power in this country.

0bama - He had it all, for two years he and his political party had IT ALL, and what did he do with all that power, influence and control?? He flushed our country down the toilet, and the libs whine that its all the republicans fault?

2 1/2 years....

2 million net jobs lost

Beginning with Carter, we have seen three Presidents with positive job growth in the private sector during first 29 months, with best results to worst:
1- Carter (+8.2 million jobs)
2- Clinton (+6.7 million jobs)
3- HW Bush (+339K jobs)

And three Presidents with negative job growth in the private sector in the first 29 months, beginning with the worst:
1- W Bush (-3.4 million jobs)
2- Obama (-2.1 million jobs)
3- Reagan (-1.1 million jobs)

Among these, Carter inherited a stagnant economy, Reagan inherited a seriously stagnant economy, Clinton inherited an economy that was struggling and was recovering from a recession, Bush inherited an economy that was in best shape, and Obama inherited an economy that was in the worst shape.

Now let us see the state of job growth in private sector the year before they took office, worst to best:
1- W Bush to Obama, 2008: -4.6 million (and getting worse, losing another 4.2 million before it was all said and done)
2- Carter to Reagan, 1980: +72K (stagnant, extremely slow growth)
3- HW Bush to Clinton, 1992: +1.2 million
4- Clinton to W Bush, 2000: +1.4 million
5- Ford to Carter, 1976: +2.1 million
6- Reagan to HW Bush, 1988: +3.0 million

Job growth under each President, after one year in office (over next 17 months), best to worst:
1- Carter: +4.8 million jobs
2- Clinton: +4.2 million jobs
3- Obama: +2.1 million jobs
4- Reagan: -892K jobs
5- W Bush: -940K jobs
6- HW Bush: -1.3 million jobs

As far as deficits go, W Bush inherited the best budget scenario (deficit not being an issue) while Obama inherited the largest deficit recorded till date, at over $1.4 trillion.

Given the numbers above, there is absolutely no logical reason, only excuses for simply hating Obama being the President to a serious case of being a partisan hack for not recognizing real problems, obstacles in solutions and denial.

This is more empty liberal rhetoric that they can't back up with facts. They figure the window to blame Bush has closed so they'd better come up with some excuse for Obama's failures before the election. It's pathetic. Even more pathetic is the fact that the moronic Obama voters will buy it. The Blamer In Chief needs a new source of excuses.

Propagandists don't need facts or proof, they just repeat their lies long enough and people will believe them.

I love how the president works with the Federal Reserve and lets them print money and the Congress Republicans have been trying to stop this insanity when they elected a new breed of republicans in 2010. Remember democrats controlled the first 2 years of this mess. Thou I dont even see this a democrat or republican problem its a government and idealogy problem on spending to much and having our country in 3 different wars, spending and devaluing the dollar.

Ron Paul 2012 a republican who was against it when BUSH was in office and when OBAMA took office.
