You misunderstand than. For example, I think Obama's foreign policy continues to be wrong, we should be out of Iraq and Iran. I think he did not try hard enough to keep lobbiests out of government positions. I think he should have cleaned house at the MMS before the oil spill. I think he gave BP too much leeway in the oil spill and he should have better accepted foreign help. He should have done a better job with shutting down Gitmo. I don't think the stimulus was big enough, especially with deflationary pressure on the economy today. I think he should have done a better job cleaning out the banks and gm during the crisis. He should have been more aggressive with the public option.
There is lots of stuff I don't like about what Obama is doing. So again, I think you are missing the point. I am not attempting to absolve Obama from blame, but I also don't think Bush should be either.
You think all of today's problems started since 2007?
Nope...I have said for I dont know how many times...our problems have been going on for as long as the democrats and republicans have been spending money like it was theirs. However...if you want to blame Bush, then you HAVE to have enough integrity to admit that for the last 4 years, the DEMOCRATS...not George Bush...have passed every spending bill...every regulation act, every peice of legislation on which Bush AND Obama has put pen to paper.
