No, you have it wrong. Learn to read.
Or we can blame the results of that poll on reality. That reality being that George Bush left the economy in the worst condition any president left an economy for their successor with the one exception of Herbert Hoover. Most people recognize that as the reason we are where we are.
The debt hit 10 trillion in October of 2008. One month before Obama was elected. It is now $15.3 trillion. Thats $5 trillion in Obama debt. Give or take.
That's very strange, the economy was losing private sector jobs at the ungodly rate of about 750K/month at the end of President Bush's term in office, but those results don't seem to bother you. Why is that, Con? It seems to me you are putting your politics before the truth.
Ah, now I see what you're getting at. I was thrown off because the "investment" made into saving our economy was less than a trillion while the rest of the debt is attributable largely to the policies of Bush and Republicans which led to the worst economy in almost 80 years.
Except that's not what I said. I said the reality is that George Bush left Obama an economy worst economy any president left except for Hoover. That is reality. And I'm suggesting that the poll results reflect that which is why people still blame Bush for today's economy by close to a 2 to 1 margin.
Think again. It seems you have me confused with someone else who might have said that.
"Most people" as in 54% of those polled blame Bush for today's economy. 54% qualifies as a mojority, or "most people." Capiche? The fallacy in your argument is that it's backwards. I'm not saying most people thnk like me .... I'm saying I'm thinking same thing most people are thinking.
Hey, you can go with Gallup too, if you're not happy with the "official" numbers. Ain't no skin off of my back.
Translation: Please, please, please ... please forget that George Bush tanked the economy so it's still not fixed yet! We on the right don't want another 4 years of Obama if Americans still blame Bush, we might not get to elect one of the 4 clowns we are running now whom we don't even like.
This is a political debate forum. You're certainly welcome not to participate if you feel that strongly that none of this conversation matters.
It is a bit hard to take that statement seriously, but I will give it a go. What policies, specifically, of Bush are leading to the $100 billion in debt we will roll up this month? And what part of this years trillion dollar deficit as well as next years trillion dollar deficit, and the trillion dollar deficits Obama forecasts for the nest ten years are Bushs fault as well? And if Obama cant do anything about it, why not elect someone who will?
I was just trying to understand why he thought Obama made a $5 trilllion "investment" simply because the debt has increased almost that much since Obama became president. In reality, Obama is far less responsible for that $5 trillion in debt than he deludes himself into believing...

Adding to the deficit: Bush vs. Obama - The Washington Post
The affects from his recession are still being felt. If not for that recession, employment would be higher than it is today as well as tax revenues would be higher; which translates into lower deficits. Also, had Bush and Republicans not wrecked our economy, there would have been no need for Obama to spend close to a trillion dollars on stimulus.
