You think what happened between 2000 and 2008 somehow, changed?
We came back stronger after the 2000 tech crash and then 9/11 than we have during this administration. We had our best years during Bush and would love to see that economy return. So what happened to jump starting the economy with the huge stimulous fund...oh yeah, GSA had to spend it in Vegas. So much for those construction workers getting any.
He is a prewsident of excuses to deflect from the results of his raising the deficit spending in less tha four years beyond what Bush did in eight years. Four years of massive spendig with the resuts being as we now see. The economy has made most its gains since the democrats loss the house at midterm.More jobs have also been created .Democrats haven't even tasted the pain of paying for that spendig yet and it starts in january I ebeleive under the debt ceiling agreement.Their only solution is trhe same polices that lead to this in more spending and taxing the rich to stay above water until the economy is in crisis like europe;while blaming the rich for not providing more jobs.
Except for remaining in Afghanistan too long and leaving private insurance companies in health care, I support this President. I am not a "moonbat" or a "sheep". I have thought about this and have conclused that any and all Republicans are a threat to freedom of all individuals in the US and a danger to our country. The Republican would replace our Constitution with Corporate Control and tyranny outside of any representative political process.
This would be laughable if it weren't so incredibly alarming to know that people who can actually vote think this way. We have a sitting POTUS who has abused his powers and defecated all over the Constitution like no other and you want to re-elect him because you think all Republicans are a danger to political process and the Constitution?

Right. Recent history is not a forbidden topic. People need to remember the fiasco of 2000-2008, because if it is forgotten, the mistakes will be repeated.
Exactly. Don't forget what happened from 1/20/09 until the ship is righted on 1/20/13.
First, Obama was arguing against the tax-cuts enacted before he was president and that was Bush. Read the first paragraph: Can't pretend that it wasn't Bush's tax-cuts.
What would you have Obama say, "these tax-cuts were passed by 'he who must not be named?' "
Second, Reagan blamed Carter way into his term.
This is from Reagan's 1982 State of the Union address:
"The problems we inherited were far worse than most inside and out of government had expected; the recession was deeper than most inside and out of government had predicted. Curing those problems has taken more time and a higher toll than any of us wanted."
While we're at it let's look at what else Obama argued against before he was POTUS:
Quote:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.†“It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’
Why is is this such a BIG issue?? HES ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Bush destroyed the country, screwed us all,back and white and left a steaming pile on his desk for the next scapegoat and banked on naive idioits to support his incompetence. Throw in some racial prejudice against the inexperienced Now President because he was not born white and you end up with threads like this one. Smh...
*And dont be trying to privately contact me to get the last word. Right here is a good a place as any to justify your hatred.
Race card drop at post 69....
You're late to the party. It never takes that long.
Where is this tyranny and what Article/Section of the constitution is changing?
Right now, insurance companies decide if you get medical care. Under the ACA, they cannot discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions and many other provisions that help patients. Moreover, millions who have no coverage, will.
The only loss of freedom that I see is your freedom of disease.
Forgot about this little gem did we?

the NDAA authorizes the military to detain even US citizens under the broad new anti-terrorism provisions provided in the bill, once again without trial.

The good years under Bush was a gasoline fire. Such fires burn fast and furious, but go out quick, and after that there is nothing left but ashes.
He fueled the housing bubble by 40 or so deregulation bills because his goal was to get low income people into houses they could not afford. For example on one occation he said in front of TV cameras that his mission was to get 5.5 low income hispanics into homes, and he would do it by lowerind standards and helping with down payment. These people didn't have to invest anything into these homes, and had absolutely nothing to lose by walking away form the mortgage after stuffing their pockets with HELOC money.
