And you think that everything changes when a president comes into office. A train wreck doesn't stop on a dime. Unemployment was creeping up and the whole mess was unfolding in the last few months of 2008.The problem is my left wing friend is things are ten times worse when Bush was president........The deficit has tripled and is the most in history and unemployment has doubled from 5 to 10 percent so he ain't clenaing up nothing...........
Obama simply got lucky that Bernanke knew what a mess he helped create and knew how to keep it from going over the cliff.
Republicans ALWAYS give democrats debt and then insist the only way to fix it is to lower taxes, cut education and social programs. Reagan almost tripled the debt. Bush actually did triple it.
Bush had a very mild recession when he took office and did nothing to correct it.
The nation’s job base grew at an annual rate of 0.28 percent during Bush’s eight years as president – by far the slowest pace for any of the 11 presidents in the postwar era, according to Bizjournals. The previous low had been set by Bush’s father, with an annual job-growth rate of 0.59 percent.
2008 was the Worst year for jobs since 1945 because the December-to-December job loss of 2.6 million was the biggest calendar year loss since 1945, when the country was demobilizing from World War II. But that's a misleading comparison, given that the population of the U.S. in 1945 was less than half what it is now. If you look at percentage job loss, 2008 was the worst year since 1982. Do we blame Reagan for 1982 or Carter?
Just as an aside, you kinda look like you've got small dick complex by making your sig granny sized. Just saying.
