I can't believe how ignorant people are in that they think that a president has that much power over the economy, especially when the entire world was/is having issues. Is every single global leader a huge failure? Or are they at the mercy of larger factors? Some of you are so completely illogical. Bush didn't have this much power over the economy, and neither does Obama.

BTW, do you guys know what got us out of the Great Depression? It wasn't Roosevelt policy, it was WWII.

Oh, ok. I get it now. All those times that Barack was blaming George, he must have been "ignorant" to "think that a president has that much power over the economy."

Thanks for clearing that up for us!! We now know that Barack Obama is clueless!

Yep. I seem to recall the Dems while they had 100% control doing some things like ObamaCare no one wanted as well as passing a good budget.....oh wait, that didn't happen though it was their responsibility under the Law.

Shame, shame!


.....and then there were all of those billions of ours that they gave away.

One thing the chart is missing are Obama's wars. Last summer I think we have troops operating in 75 different countries.

Because for them, Obama must get re-elected no matter what the cost is to U.S. economy and to the welfare of Americans.

Blame Bush, make excuses, divert attention, misrepresent facts, do damage control. But make sure Obama is president again for another 4 years. It doesn't matter how incompetent he is. So thinks the left.

O.K., I'll play....right now the big deal is that obama has 3 under his belt....

So, I guess him and Bush are equal....can you figure out the other 3 I'm talking about....

I'll give you a hint....SH and his 2 sons....

So how are you going to spin this one....

The biggest problem here is that you are grasping at straws and all you can fall back on ....well he killed 3 terrorists....

The economy, jobs, gas prices, spending, debt and taxes will be the issues.

Last I looked, the dems had 53 in their caucus. But...they did have 60 votes in the Senate and a huge majority in the House up until Jan 2011.....you knew that, right?

That's when things went to pot, when the dems took over Congress in 2007.

By his own admission obama will not run in 2012...

February 1, 2009.
“A year from now I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress," said Obama. "But there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition.”

Of course Obama and his minions have declared the economy is improving so maybe he will run again?
