You're funny.

Saying the Dems holding congress for a few months sank the economy, when it was years of GOP tax cuts/trickle down and deregulation that did it.

Carry on.

Oh..Dear heart..you forgot to mention a UNFUNDED WAR..started under pretext of lies..then perpetuated ALL white on a credit card..building deficit to the tune of Trillions..then of course..Stock Market Melt down//Banks going belly up..Automobile Industry going into bankruptcy..ALL before BO even took office..meanwhile..back in warfront..tens of thousands still in Afghanistan/Iraq ..after surge....WHOA..What a smorgasbord BO inherited....especially..given G.W. started with Budget surplus....

So..If anyone still wants to blame someone for failures..and sure has been some..however..Congress after 2010..DID NOTHING since then except shut down Government..Kick Can down the road ( Just ike they did today for 10 weeks)..It's not about running the Country but to block/undermind any Democrate...and especially POTUS...Meanwhile..the WORLD see it clearly..their rhetoric of hate rings very loud way outside of base political folk...The World sees and hears it..leaving the ideologues like Putin and Israel's leader ( won't even mention his name!! as see him as a disgrace) ..

Yet GOP rhetoric day in and day out blame lack of leadership in foreign affairs..and beat the drum to jump back in without funding..Geesh..GOP and their actions caused Sequestrations..Military are struggling under that ..YET it boggles my mind...POTUS is at fault....I do have to say...THE WORLD has watched..listened and KNOW exactly what is going on..and GOP will never take over the WHITEHORSE..Congress single digit approval and Primary race proves how citizens view elected ones!! Bought/Paid for..along with SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT..types..who take 6 digit incomes + perks and spend maybe 3-5 months of the year actually doing business all the rest is FUND$$ Raising, interviews to bash..talking about laws to disagree with yet haven't read..The list is endless..Talk about a waste of taxpayer$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Right wingers will argue this without even reading the article. They've got you suckers right where they want you.

We have POS's running this country...into the ground.
If you beleive that one let me tell you how obama earned a nobel peace prize.

Obama took the bus out of the ditch and drove it off the cliff.

Screwed GM shareholders in favor of unions.

Dem legislators accused anyone wary of the solvency of freddie and fannie of being racist. forced the banks into making loans to people who could not pay them back. Made bamnks take bailout money even iof they didn't need it.

Treasury dept slipped in clause into Dodd's legisaltion that ensured AIG execs got bonuses which supplied Obama a target at which to aim his rich vs poor divise strategy to create turmoil in our nation and prevent forward progress.

A drop in the proverbial bucket but clear evidence of obama's intent to destroy the economy was no regret at losing 500 million taxpayer dollars in Solyndra. That number goes up with other failed solar investments. Nice but no example of investments that suceded. Money laundering or gross incompetence? your choice

Created 40k dollar jobs with a price tag of more than 100k each.

Uses 500 million dollars to to train 5 syrians.

Lied to get oabamcare passed. Not a minor lie but a series of cost and benefit lies and miscalculation based on incompetence. 30 mill people without insurance before obamacare and according to the CBO 30 mill w/o insurance after obamacare. Only diff is heath insurance costs more, reduced number of medical facilities andinsurance companies get a guarantee of payment if their profit doesn't reach expectations with an endless uspply of taxpayer cash.

Shovel ready jobs?? Obama snickered at that question when asked in an interview.

Harry Reid sat on legislation and argument to supress any hope of creative ideas to boost the economy.

Obama told us he would never pass healthcare by nuclear option as HRC would. If he did he would lose his legitimacy to lead.

Dodd-Frank!

EPA regs, the biggest job loss strategy launch by Obama.

Supress oil and coal industries in favor of immature, not ready for market theoretical replacement sources.

Ethanol legisaltion requiring 40% of corn crop to go into fuel instead of food supply.

Obama tells us energy prices witll soar under my energy plan.
Obama energy czar wants gasoline prices to reach the level of EU prices.
Dropping gas prices today are considered a failure for Obama's energy plan...whatever it is. Not a problem, obama takes a bow and supporters herald the greatness of their 'leader'.

It was the Dems who sabotaged the economy to get Obama elected.

Not to be outdone by....

William J. Clinton: Statement on Signing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

It recalled the Glass-Steagal act, which makes this even better. http://thehill.com/policy/finance/24...gall-bank-bill

OMG we spent like a drunken sailor, got into multiple wars, and passed legislation removing tons of regulations, It was AWESOME.....Until we had to pay for it all, and bail out the very people we removed regulations from because they did bad things.

Its easy to make the economy boom when you believe that "Deficits dont matter"

Obama has cut the deficit regularly.
