Obama to Call for $50 Billion Spending on Public Works

2000 to the current date is.....

I know you dont like school, but at least try.

(its pretty much a decade)

Bush took office in 2000 and left office in 2010? Who don't like school?
 
Some people would argue the governments interventions in the economy are the results of private interests in the first place.

some would argue that Obama was the most qualified person running to be president in 2008

the world is full of idiotic opinions
 
My quote applies exactly then. Burn the books too. Seems to be your attitude to things.

I say we burn the books that do nothing, but tell lies. We need to burn the book you read that says that Bush was inaugurated in 2000 and left office in 2010.
 
Yes a decade of deterioration quantumn magically happened since Obama became president. Its HIS fault. Seriosuly. :doh:

Yes, go ahead and pretend the Rapist did anything special to reconstruct the road grid, but that they did such a wonderful job it collapsed the day Bush took office.

You have my permission.
 
I think that's true. Howelse would Obama have been elected, if the economy hadn't gone into the ****ter? .

By eight years of leftist media lies.

By two years of leftist media boosterism.

Reality had little to do with that election. Heck, Franken even managed to get more votes from districts than were voters in those districts, and the leftist proganda machine remained silent.
 
Yeah, all someone has to do is explain why the Rapist President campaigned on "infrastructure", and yet suddenly it's "Bush's Fault" all over again.

I dont know who the rapist refers to, but if they didn't get repaired while he was around.... why cant you guys get your heads around this?

Repairs to infrastructure occur according to the rate of decay in windows that do not necessarily coincide with presidential terms. However his 8 years neglecting our infrastructure seems to get a free pass from you guys.
 
He took office. Have you not been following along? ;)

BDBop, I would give almost anything for any Obama supporter to tell me honestly why they support this empty suit and why they buy the rhetoric when not ONE economic prediction has been right. Want to try?

All I see is class envy, class warfare, and diversions to Bush from people who don't seem to have a clue as to the role of the govt. Obama sold the first stimulus plan as a infrastructure package for shovel ready jobs. that program has been a failure, now we have another proposal for another 50 billion. Where is that money coming from? Obama has added 3 trillion to the debt in just two years, he has lost 4 million more jobs, and the employed number is 3 million less than when he took office yet for some reason you and others continue to support him, why?

Why would you call somebody that??

Ohhhhhh, so now it's 8 years?

So, tell me how repairing roads and bridges is solely the president's responsibility. Can't wait for this one.

Personally? I can't be bothered. Every decent thing I perceive he did, you perceive he didn't. You see nothing but negatives. People tell you all the damn time what they think he did right and Every. Single. Time. you find fault and blame.

So many, many people have done it. I'm one of them.

You can't see it.
 
Is the economy and the deficit Obama's fault solely?

Exactly what I came here to say. If everything is not solely the President's responsibility, then maybe people can start seeing how everything is not solely his fault, either.

When you perceive something the way to find out if that perception is true is to verify the facts. The facts simply do not support your claims and I guess that is what upsets you the most. Obviously you don't know the way out govt. works. Let me remind you there are three equal branches of govt. and the Legislative has been in control of the Legislative Branch since January 2007 and that is where all the legislation comes from. Bush couldn't do anything without Congressional Approval so tell me how Bush could have created the economic problems alone?

Then there is the Iraq War, the Democrats controlled the legislative process in 2002 when the authorization to go to war was given in a 73-26 vote. Democrats could have prevented that vote but had access to the same intelligence as the President and it was information that was available to Bill Clinton when he signed the Iraq Liberation Act. Now Democrats play dumb although with many it really isn't an act, it is total ignorance.

So tell me exactly what GW Bush without Congressional approval that you found objectionable and then tell me what economic prediction from Obama has been accurate?

I want an honest discussion so prove to me that you can participate in that.
 
Is the economy and the deficit Obama's fault solely?

No. I blame the Democrat control of Congress since 2007, too. Has Obama increased, or decreased the deficit?
 
Is the economy and the deficit Obama's fault solely?

Since he took over with a Democrat Congress yes, the deficit is all Obama's fault. Deficits are yearly, debt is cumulative. This year the deficit will be 1.4 trillion dollars.

Tell us about all those decent things that you perceive that he did.

Then whose fault is it? Deficits are yearly and debt is cumulative so tell us whose budget was in deficit?
 
Too skeered to answer the question?

You're trying to derail my question to him. I'll be waiting for an answer, and I won't brook any interference.

Yeah, there is the stupid war in Iraq that we will be paying for a long time to come.
