Lexus, you are still too proud of the weakest economic recovery on record, one that is largely due to the Republicans. They stopped the over-extension of unemployment benefits, and employment began recovering immediately. This was as predicted by economists decades ago--including Obama advisors. They stopped squirting money around at random in the name of stimulus, in programs that just roiled the economy without doing any good at all for the overall growth rate.
Yes, thank goodness the Republicans were willing to make Obama look good by giving him a better economy than his desired policies could ever have produced. The Republicans made your fantasy possible, Lexus, so you can pretend we were saved by the Savior.
Ah yes, the old right "it happened in spite of" ____________ (insert democratic president here).
The flipside of the argument when things go bad for a pub president which is
"It happened BECAUSE OF.......................... the democratic congress."
The economy didn't turn around until Republicans took control of Congress...same thing when Clinton was President. But I do like that things go well with a Dem President and Republican Congress. Disaster strikes when Dems have full control.
I am under the impression that George Bush was a Republican. You would not call his economic repercussions a disaster?
But for many of us, we're doing just fine. Maybe you should just go back to school or look for another gig.
I'm wealthy with more money that will be able to spend in my lifetime, I just hate to see a corrupt president hel l bent on destroying America, and more that that, it sickens me to see how many ignorant people still follow that evil man. People who believe in him are either ignorant or also hate America and welcome his changes. Hie changes are bad for America and bad for the world...
If the economy is in the toilet now, where was it at the end of the last Republican president's term?
You might want to read a little history before you embarrass yourself.. bush's economy was fantastic for the firs six years of his presidency. Then the Democrats took over congress his klast two years and completely destroyed the economy. then along came comrade obama to end all hope for the economy...
We've been hearing it for years, how the economy is in shambles because of this great President. The GOP candidate in the last presidential election made this a focal point of his campaign to sucker in support. He criticized President Obama and predicted doom. Well, President Obama is right and the economy is doing great. Time for Republicans to change their strategy, because like everything else they do, it doesn't work. Can you Republicans admit that you were wrong?
Far too many coolaid drinkers in here to bother debating. Continue to love the communist, you will pay in the end.. obama is evil, your children will pay for his deeds.. Now, back on your knees..
I'm out...........

This is why conservative history books are stacked in the fantasy section. Bush's economic record was abysmal. The few good years under his watch were fueled by a massive housing bubble destined to destroy the economy.
The economy adding 3.1 million jobs in 2014. That's more than double GWB's haul in eight monumentally disastrous years as president.
The truth and the obamabots do not mix.
The lost jobs that were replaced pay by those that pay 23 percent less.
For the first time ever a majority of school children receive government assistance.
Prices rising while the median family income is stagnant at best.
Average time on unemployment from 2000-2008 between 18-22 weeks. Now its 32 weeks
Percentage of those working fulltime jobs fell to 42.9 percent for December, down from 43.7 in November and 44.4 percent in December 2012.
This is why conservative history books are stacked in the fantasy section. Bush's economic record was abysmal.
This is why the Obamabots are stacked in fantasy, they fail to recognize the current economy is under the same failed policies as the previous administration. Bailouts to their buddies and favor policy to the elite. All off the backs of the working stiff.

You got something right except for the fact you left out the housing bill was bi partisan.
