Between Bush and Nobama, I'll pick Bush any day.

At least with Bush around we were fighting a winnnable war.

You dare lay the blame of a recession on the head of one man? Impossible. The fact is, American middle-class home owners got us into this mess. They believed that their houses would keep gaining value indefinitely, so they made very unwise financial decisions. When the prices of those houses dropped, we got financial turmoil. Bush and Paulson saved us from the worst of it by saving the financial corporations, but were unable to stop the recession all by themselves.

Try turning off MSNBC for once, pick up an Economist.

So unbiased facts tell you Bush actually wrote the bill which Obama pushed through? What happened, did his spirit float in through the window and pick up Obama's pen while Obama was in the restroom?

maybe you should check out the home mortgage law changes under the clinton presidency

and

the dependence on foreign is also more to blame than anything else

dis everyone forget the record profits of the oil companies not to long ago (but what should have been done nationalizing the oil industry)

oil companies are more to blame than any other single aspect of the economy (exorbitant fuel price have caused the collapse of to many individual economies which caused the economy will now have globally)

just a thought

but hey

what do i know

Even if it puts the country in to ruinous debt? Huckabee, Ron Paul, or even Bill Richardson could not have done a worse job of combating this recession.

Even if we're in 100% GDP debt? We're already a quarter of the way there, and Obama's only been president for a few months. True, Iraq was expensive, but STD research and butterfly parks will ruin us.
