We're really suppose to believe that 8 years of unprecedented economic growth under Clinton had nothing to do with him - it was just his being lucky enough to have followed in the coattails of republicans and the foundation they set up. However, when Obama inherits the worst economy since the 1930's after 8 years of Bush and republican congresses, the recession and it's not being completely cured in 1 year is his fault?
I love the way that the conservatives go after Obama. It's like they are saying, "if we only had one more year (under Bush) we would have turned this whole thing around, no unemployment, higher wages, lower taxes, etc...".
My kid spills some Kool Aid in his room. His mother starts to clean it up. I get home, and see the stain, and then my kid blames his mother for not cleaning it up fast enough.
That, to me, perfectly says what the Republican party has been doing lately.
...after 8 years of Bush and republican congresses,
Do you even know what you are talking about? Democrats have controlled congress (and therefore spending) since 2007. And, as part of that democrat controlled congress, Senator Obama never once voted against, or even raised objection to, any of that reckless spending. For Obama (or any other democrat) to stand up now and say it's all Bush's fault is utter B.S.

Actually that describes the Democratic Congress and the recession quite well..
THEY HAVE HELD IT SINCE 2007, when the recession began and domestic policy is THEIR JOB..

I'm so thankful that some people dont understand this and have this uncontrollable urge to keep going "Its all Bushs fault".. Gives me someone to laugh at... haha
However, to be fair to Mr. Clinton, he enjoyed a "peace dividend" from the end of the cold war and the "technology boom." To be fair to Mr. Bush, he had to deal with a blow to the financial capital of the US (and to some extent the world). I didn't care to much for either of them when it was all said and done anyway.
Either way, Americans are to blame for the current American economy. They also get credit for when it is doing well. It's that simple.
