It's about time, Obama! Finally, you grow a pair!

Bush 43 hasn't been in office since January 2009. This is POTUS Obama's economy. It would appear that you are apologizing for POTUS Obama.
 
ahhh, now I understand the extraordinary (probably) fox-fueled rant by a right wing facebook friend. Here's just a part of his comments -

Obama has done all he could to take over American Financial institutions by forcing them to take bailouts even when several of them didn't want to, so the government had controling interest in their businesses. Same with the Auto industry and Health Care.

You don't have to delve too deep into Obama's history to see who his heros are. Most if not all are radicals, either Socialist or Communist. You can look at his friends; Ayers and Dorn, George Soros, Chavez, Castro, Chicago thugs, Jerimiah Wright, the Unions. Too many to name here.

His goal is to destroy America and all I can hope is that Americans will wake up and tell him to go to Hell. Fire his ass and the other Liberal democrats in Washington and replace them with people that LOVE America and want to see us be great like we once were.

Less Government, Less Regulations. Let the States run their states and Local governments run Local issues. Obama is about as EVIL as they come. The sooner he is gone, the better.

I'm not sure which part I found the most astounding.

Probably the idea that George Soros is a radical socialist/communist.:eek:

Right. All U.S. forces have left the theater...............except for the 50,000 soldiers still there. That's more than the number of U.S. forces in South Korea.

WRONG! The first year was with the Shrub's budget and the second year he was still saddled with the moron's tax-giveaways to the super-rich while everybody else's ability to pay taxes went down the toilet with their jobs.

We are suffering the after-effects of a cancer just recently removed. Recovery takes time.

Don't be silly. Obama has done absolutely nothing!! *sarcasm*

But seriously there's still some people out there that have the nerve to claim Obama has done "nothing". I wonder how much he has to do before his opponents admit he has done "something" (regardless if they agree with what he's done or not).

It doesn't take a lot of brain-power that figure out the duplicity of claiming someone has done nothing, and has done it all wrong, in the same breath, but people don't generally use reason when it comes to politics, its emotion and personal subjective opinions and beliefs. For most, its not what a person actually does/has done, its what they stand for, or claim to stand for. Scary stuff.

See, I couldn't imagine having friends like that on Facebook or in any other context. Not because I don't agree with him but because he's clearly divorced from reality.

Starting with a pretty good surplus, Bush had eight years to set the direction of the economy, much of it with both houses in GOP hands. Obama has had less than two years to try and get it back to some semblance of the shape it was when Bush took over. Things are better, but not good. At least we're out of the death spiral we were in at the end of 2008. But the Democrats will pay anyway. The American People are not known for their long memories, a fact that the GOP will exploit. The Dems trying to remind us of why we're here in the first place won't work. That's just politics.

Never met the guy in real life, we have some common business interests. I regularly come close to removing him on FB, but I think he plays a useful role in helping me understand the divorced from reality nature of US politics.

Is Michelle Obama responsible for the Jeremiah Wright fiasco?

"What can it be that has kept Obama in Wright's pews, and at Wright's mercy, for so long and at such a heavy cost to his aspirations?"

Christopher Hitchens found the above part astounding.

Given that Hitchens is dying of esophageal cancer, the primary cause of which is excessive alcohol consumption, it's probably advice he should have taken.
No disrespect to Hitchens, but he really made his own bed.

This all-or-nothing game you're playing is pretty tiresome. Every president from Reagan to Obama deserves a share of the blame for the current recession. We can argue over who deserves the biggest share, but to say that just because GWB is no longer president, he shouldn't figure into the discussion is really dishonest.

Anyone who thinks it only takes 19 months to completely make or break a countries economy doesn't know much about economics.

Well, I suppose you could break it in that time
