Obama's Fault?

[Dedicated Mind]

The economy lost 8 million jobs during Bush's final months in office and Obama's first few months. Is this Obama's fault? NOOO! We cannot dig out of a recession in 2 short years. 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.

Obama is a disaster for the economy. He has lost jobs 15 of 21 months in office. Why? He promised to do net job creation. \
Most recessions last half as long as this one and climb back twice as fast.

Dedicated mind needs to buy a used econ book at a garage sale also.

How many jobs were filled when Obama was elected? 146 million

How many jobs are filled today? 139 million

How many people added to the work force in 21 months? 120,000 per month

Democrats controlled Congress since ............

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was elected America's first female speaker of the House yesterday in a raucous, bipartisan celebration of a historic breakthrough, and hours later she presided over passage of the broadest ethics and lobbying revision since the Watergate era.

So the budgets came from Democrats.
Obama was a Senator from Illinois and voted in favor of these spending binges.

Your 8 million in the last months of Bush is off by several million,
Give us the raw numbers by month.

Democrats are the problem and have no ideas for a solution. The only reasonable job creation months under Obama were hiring census workers.
Temporary gubment jobs.

The graph shows the census hiring months. We will not expect honest data from dems on job creation.

I'm not smart enough to agree or disagree with the 8 million figure for jobs lost so I'll leave it unchallenged. My question is, "Is that a result of the Democrats taking over the legislature the last 2 years of the Bush presidency?"

It's all Dubya's fault

The Dems keep blaming "Republican Obstructionism" for their inability to turn this economy around. How can the Republicans obstruct Obama's agenda when they control NOTHING in Washington? The Dems have all the power. You know why they don't go as far as they'd like to? There are a couple of reasons. First they have to contend with Blue-Dog Democrats who can't get reelected on a strictly socialist agenda so they have to oppose the liberal leadership on certain legislation. Second, the Dems don't have the courage to go all the way with their liberal agenda because deep down they know this country is more conservative than it is liberal and that liberal presidents don't last very long in office and liberal Congresses fade about as quickly.

Your party's days in power are numbered Dedicated Mind. Enjoy these last few months. It won't come back around this way for another 15-20 years!

The Dems had congress. I posted the link above that shows job losses accelerating several months after the Obama regime come in.
If I went to a doctor, I would want treatment.
I wouldn't pay a doc that spent 21 months just blaming my previous doctor.

If we take out Census jobs, the 21 Obama months are all horrible in job creation.

Bush was not a conservative. He was just right center, not much better than McCain. Though RINO republicans helped get the spending started, when the Democrats took over congress in 2006 Bush began to spend like the liberal he was at heart. Without a Republican controlled congress he was free to allow his social liberal tendencies to shine.

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.

Democrats violate business and cultural values.

Steal from the rich and give to the poor? Nope.
Fund abortions? Never!!
Socialize medicine? Rationing? No way!!

Carbon taxes? Not in our lifetime

Dems want to destroy america and freedom

suggested reading 1008 page general econ textbook.

Microeconomic Theory by Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green

Try to read the book and it will help you get rid of some of the liberal notions that ruin our economy.
