Regardless of whose fault it is, losers blame others rather than focus on fixing problems.
Thats why your blaming Obama right? Also, just because YOU use the gasoline analogy, doesnt make it a good one. Perhaps the analogy of using a garden hose to put out a house fire might be more accurate. He is very restrained by you tea baggers from fixing what needs to be fixed. Tea baggers need the country in disarray and ruin so that they can "Take back the country" in 2 years. We had a huge surplus and a fantastic job growth in the 90s but you same people were calling for Clintons head.

He's blaming Obama because he hated him getting elected on day 1 and has had the agenda (along with dozens of others like him at C-D) to get him out of the office, at ANY cost (and that includes lying, being dishonest and shameless). But then, I could be wrong and he blamed Reagan for the horrible economy during his first term, and blamed Bush for the massive economic failure and war mongering right out of the gate until Jan 9, 2009. Just waiting for his confirmation.

Right on!

No, who said it was? Is it Obamas fault...neither man, It wasnt Bushes fault when gas ran up on his watch either. Why do people think POTUS has anything to do with fuel prices. Maybe Im wrong and one of you can educate me. Please no teabaggers, as I want to be taught by someone who has formal education.

Were you blaming Bush for $4/gallon in 2008? If you were, I think you could blame Obama now. If you weren't, then...

The weak dollar policy of this President has ensured that everything will increase in price, and not just gasoline; it's also destroyed the savings of millions of seniors in this country as well.

The economy isn't going to turn around either for all the reasons recently and previously stated by Steve Wynn, Donald Trump, and many other super-successful businessmen and women.

His insistence on raising taxes at this point in time is asinine, and his refusal to accept blame for the economic conditions which have worsened substantially on his watch reek of someone who can't accept the fact that he's been wrong more often than he's been right, and alienating and/or denigrating our allies in an unprecedented manner are merely more signs of his incompetence.

I am a tea party member, hold two degrees in the sciences, and over 25 various professional level certifications.

What is your education again?

Also, would you please answer the question I asked of you. Why do you keep evading it?

proves the rule,...that there are exceptions to the rule. Although, when I was in the Navy, I worked with Nuclear physicist, and they had the least common sense aboard. It was the big joke. Even with an education, you still elected to belong to the Tea party. Maybe you are there to help them read the forms or something. Perhaps you are there to witness when they sign X on the voting forms, like back in the old west. Should probably get a tax write off for helping the special needy.

All Joking aside:

Ill admit, I do NOT have 25 professional level certifications, not even close. I only hold 1 BS in Geology, and an 2 year accounting degree. You probably put my education to shame....I would have more college, but it became a problem as I had to start raising a family. I am currently a part owner of a mattress company, and do not use any of that education, other than accounting.

Please ask your question again, Im sorry, but I don't recall it. I wont avoid it, what ever it is.

My point was that you are generalizing and to claim any group is such without hard evidence is simply politicking. in my experiences, most I have met are reasonable, intelligent, and often well educated. Don't believe the hype you see going around, it is political tactics to get people to think that the tea party is all racists, ignorant, backwards people too stupid to take their complaints seriously. It is the age old downplay in politics.

As for my question, it was concerning Obama.

What was the debt at before he got into office? What is it at now? Explain to me how that spending helped any at all? I mean, especially if we are going to blame bush for running up the bills, how did Obama's spending help resolve the issue?
