We have a winner. When the republican congress took over in the last term of Clinton a bad economy was turned around and it was Clinton who got the credit.

The economy was great in the first term of Bush. It was when the dems took over that it started going down. Barney Frank and his other liberal pals are to blame for the housing problem. It snow balled from there. Don't get me wrong, there were some things that Bush did in the end that I did not like, the bail outs and his spending.

Anyone with a small amount of common sense will know that the policies that Obama had implemented will never turn the economy around. It will only make it worse.

Mark it down that I am saying it now, when the republicans take back over the house you will begin to start seeing the economy turn around. However, it will be Obama who will get the credit. So many dumb people voting these days.

Run rats run!

Just a few more weeks and the cons will be to the lib dems!

And I will be going because I will be using O's money to feed my 13 kids!

You may be missing on stimulus money he sent to the kin folk that have gone to their reward. They have been busy printing checks.

Even though the unemployment rate remained flat at 9.6 percent in September, the labor market would now need to add a total of about 11.5 million jobs to restore the pre-recession rate, according to analysis from Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute

Obama needs to get the message

You took the words right out of my mouth, glad I read thru the thread before posting, you said it better than I.

Bush and his policies are to blame for the economy. We need to give Obama more time. Why did the republicans oppose a deficit reduction commission after having previously supported it? Republicans want to see Obama fail. They don't want to cooperate on anything with democrats. So bah humbug to the republicans. Obama needs to become more partisan to increase majorities in a democratic congress. Republicans don't have a chance in 2012 when the truth is told.

Got proof for any of the assertions here?

It was that economic ignorance of foolhardy spending along with the Fanny Mae/ Freddy Mac fiasco which took us down a road of destruction. Instead of reversing the ignorance, Obama, being the far left liberal that he is, more than quadrupled Bush's spending! His policies involve the spending of more of our money than all presidents before him from Washington till now combined.

In an attempt to keep this in perspective: Consider a stack of $1000 bills. Bush spent a stack about 3' tall. Obama has spent a stack 332,640' tall! That's 63 MILES people!!!

Obama is a globalist who does not have our nation's best interests at heart. I am ashamed of our current president. He is the most divisive president ever to sit in the sacred oval office. Hopefully, we are not too late and can begin to reverse the ignorance come November. Obama's policies must fail in order for the country to succeed.

JMHO

Agreed on all points
