Assuming Obama is not reelected, how long will it be before Conservatives stop blaming him? Especially given their penchant for saying "stop blaming Bush."

They won't stop. If things get better, whether their doing or not, they will blame him for making things crappy that they had to come and rescue. If things continue crappy, whether their fault or not, they will blame him for making them too crappy to recover from.
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we could find out whose fault is really is? Or at very least a way to fix it that wasn't really just part of someone's partisan agenda to get reelected?

You first.
 
It is politics. You will always blame the other side.

They still blame Clinton and the democratic congress under Reagan, so using that as a baseline, forever. Note that they do have some justification in both cases.
 
Definitely option four. I never realized how revisionist the conservative ideology was until I began debating on this board.

LOL. They blamed Clinton for things that happened 8 years into a bush presidency.
 
I think they will blame him until they get into power and save the economy by building a Megafence with lasers on our southern border and entering into a 10 year war with Iran.

That right there will create millions of jobs alone. Of course people building that fence could be illegals. I know republicans like hiring them to work on their lawn.

The problem is that they never use common sense and logic. GWSnotForBrains signed us up for two balloon mortgages for trillions of dollars. The tax cut for the wealthy and the Iraq War. Those items have compounded our problems just like those who tried to borrow their way out of debt with real estate balloon mortgages. GWSnotAndFriends sold us out. Clinton left with a realistic mathematical model to pay down the debt and then came two "entirely optional" balloon mortgages to use up any and all future gov't revenues. Thank you, GWSnotForBrains and friends. That would be Republicans. Those are the facts. The last ltime that happened was the late 1920's and it was the same deal. Check the Citigroup "plutonomy" analysis.

If he starts the war with Iran, the media will stop blaming him. Wars run on OIL, so big energy gets a big kiss and free money. Wars run on weapons, etc., and all the "defense/offense" industries get a big kiss and free money. These two groups represent about 80% of our budgets. Military at $750 billion+ and 26 million barrels of OIL on an annual basis. That would also make them some of the Mass Media's largest purchaser of advertising and the leverage that goes with that. Yessir, that war is good for business and the business of war is what we are about, don't you think?

We've been fighting two wars for 10 years. I don't see how it has helped the economy.
 
Can I get a poll answer that says "For about how long Democrats will blame Bush"?

Cause really, that's the thing.

Democrats during Clinton still blamed Reagan for things, and there's been blame for Reagan even still under Obama. Republicans do the same thing. Both sides, politically, when things are going back will look to blame the other side first. The fact that the OP is focusing on the Republicans blaming Obama while basically ignoring, other than a passing comment that seems to also be sniping at the Republicans, that for the past 3 years Democrats have been blaming the past administration for everything under the stars makes his agenda pretty obvious.

Please let me be the first to say that the Democrat Presidential candidate in 2016 is just like Carter. :mrgreen:
 
Not sure, how long will liberals blame Bush and the Republicans?

I don't hear much blaming of Bush going on lately, except for from conservatives who wish it was still going on. Maybe some fringe liberals, but I think the rest of us are focused on the future.

Ehh, both sides are guilty of it. Jon Stewart did a funny segment on how each side blames the other a few years back, with liberals blaming Reagan for everything gone wrong, conservatives blaming Clinton or Carter.

I did not say it had helped the "economy." I said it made segments money. Energy and the military economy. They always hurt the people but it's all big corporate and they profit handsomely. Our gov't weems to be babysitting and cheerleading for big corporate. That's the problem and what OWS is about and who the media will blame whenever gov't policy does not support the corporate/big media agenda. Support big money and the media supports the president. Cancel wars and big defense contracts and promote energy conservation and the media will paint a big red target on your butt, especially if you are president. That's how long they will blame.

Trust me when I say this......if BO is gone in 2012, every conservative I know will do everything that is humanly possible to rapidly forget the epic disaster, known as the Chosen One by the leftwingers.
 
Still blaming FDR ?
LOL
And I have no love for these tea bagging extremists.
But we do need love and we do need balance.
Both seem to be in short supply, today.

I think that our economy was in trouble years ago and that someone had the cockamamie idea of deliberate budget deficits - spend our way out of a "recession".
This may have worked in the short term.
