Is that all you have, Conservative, a litany of snide remarks with no reasoned argument behind it? I always figure that when someone resorts to such personal comments, they really have no argument behind all thealleged "facts" cited.
You seem to want to pin the entire blame on Obama while leaving Bush totally blameless. That he had the opposition in control of Congress is no excuse; plenty of presidents have had to govern with that constraint. The meltdown began on Bush's watch. It defies logic to try to pin the entire blame for all that on Obama, when, as you admit, Bush even signed TARP, even though he was never shy about vetoing legislation he disliked.
Is that all you have? Why do you ignore actual results and obviously you haven't done a lot of research to verify your rhetoric. During his 8 years Bush had a Democrat Congress in 2007-2008 and he had a Split Congress in 2001-2002. During the 4 years of either Democrat control or split control plus the last two years Democrats have added over 5 trillion to the National Debt whereas during the 4 years of Republican Control 2 trillion was added to the debt, 5 trillion dollars in the last 10 years with 3 of that trillion the last two years.
You want me to blame Bush for the mess that happened in 2008? He was President and thus shares the blame with Congress just like Obama shares the blame for the past two years with the Democrat controlled Congress. You and others need to get over your Bush Derangement Syndrome and recognize what actually happened last Tuesday. Bush is out of office and the fact is Obama spent more time campaigning for the job than he spent in the Senate so he was hired to "clean up the mess." The mess is still there and in fact unemployment and debt are worse than when he took office. Get out of denial and get the facts. bea.gov, bls.gov, and the U.S. Treasury Website.
