Barak Obama held ultimate power for the first two years of his presidency. He had a democrat controlled house that utterly blocked the minority. He had a senate with enough democrats to block filibusters

He got every bit of legislation he wanted and he told us his economic plan would keep unemployment below 8%.

The Tea Party didn’t stop Obama and the democrats from doing a single thing where the economy is concerned.

The Liberals have NOTHING to stand on so they have to blame someone else for their failure. It just cannot be their policy.

That is exactly what it is. I think it is extremely entertaining, sad, but entertaining. It gives you a glimpse into the mind of a brainwashed sheep.

And that is why liberals never learn their lesson.
Stuff doesn't fail because of bad decisions..stuff fails because of "the other guy".

Honestly, I don't think liberals have failed at all.

Don't know what is going on in other areas . . . but here where I live . . . folks still have their vouchers, Medicaid, WIC, food stamps, free daycare, and many are using their vouchers as downpayment on houses. HUD regs are allowing them to qualify for loans even if they haven't worked in over 2 years (and use their vouchers to pay for the mortgage) . . .

SO that seems like a good deal to me.

I have watched the folks around me lose their jobs in 2008, then end up going thru/ foreclosure . . .while the welfare recipients are able to use their gubment vouchers to go buy house, even tho they are not working - and no worries about paying the mortgage cause Uncle Sam is paying it.

Now, I would say . . . that is a helluva set up.

Looks like Liberals haven't "lost" a damn thing.

All of those examples prove that liberalism failed. If it was so successful, there wouldnt be such a high need for them, nor would they allow people to use taxpayer welfare income, to pay for mortgages. No mortgage company in their right mind would approve of that, without that other liberal program called government guarantees.

Of course, I agree with you (failed policies) but you gotta admit . . . it does give pause to those of us who have spent our lives busting our asses and doing things "the right way."
