So, the economy is only affected negatively when it's a democrat that's in office. Gotcha.
It's okay to put all the blame on Obama but Bush gets a pass. Gotcha.
If you want to agree that the president has little or nothing to do with the economy you do realize that you will also have to give Obama the same courtesy too, don't you?
Look, one thing leads to another. It's a domino effect. I would much rather have spent the billions wasted on the Bush Corp. wars on roads, education and healthcare right here in the good ol' USA. Or not spent the money at all.
I agree that there is plenty of blame to go around. But I am trying to relate in terms you guys might possibly understand. And if the buck stops at the Whitehouse, as you guys are insisting it does NOW, then Clinton gets the credit for my savings gains, Bush gets the blame for my savings losses and Obama gets the credit for me recouping my losses. Hey, they're YOUR rules. I mean, you guys blame Obama, democrats and liberals for everything from nose bleeds to **** warts. Just playing by YOUR rules.
You do know that if I had pulled out my 401 savings (which I had every intention on doing had Romney won the election,) I would lose 30% right off the top, don't you? Penalty and tax? Even though my stocks plummeted in value, I still had them. Thank goodness I didn't pull them or my gains would have been much lower. Hopefully, by the time Obama's second term is up, I will have pulled all my investments and be all set up to retire at my beach house in Tarpon Springs. After that, everybody can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. LOL!
