Obama needs to be fired.
for what? The Bush recession?
If I met Obama, I would ask him how long he's going to use the "its Bush's fault" or "I inherited this mess from Bush". When is Barry going to take some responsibility for his actions? When is he going to own up to his mistakes and failures as president?
The right-wing lying machine continues its destructive, polarizing labors of love.
Magic Negro has spent his first year totally pre-occupied with handed to him by dubya and head. that right-wing lying machine is now saying it 100% Magic Negro's responsibility for causing.
Right-wing noise is nothing if not continually appealing to total dumb- , red-state bubba, racist ignorance.

when are you going to clean up aisle 4?
obama inherited this , just like every other fkn leader out there who took govt that year...all inherited some thats out of their control
compare the stimulus handouts obama signed with bush, even when he left govt he sign one last check....
no, obama owns all of this now. it took 8 yrs to get into this mess but Obama must clean it up in 10 months or less... it's convenient to forget how long it took us to get where we are.
What I want to see is what the numbers were on January 1st 2007 right before the Dems took over congress.
I gave Obama a year, but every reform he has promised has been a monumental -up, from giving the credit companies extra time to jack up their rates, to keeping the status quo in the financial sector, to watering health reform down to essentially welfare for the insurance companies, and so on. Bush gave him a horrible situation no doubt, but Obama has done absolutely nothing to fix it and some of his solutions (i.e, the senate health bill he's cheerleading for) seem worse than the problems (which is saying a lot, considering how broken our current healthcare system already is).
^ rack.
Don't get me wrong I have never stated that he's done a great job rather he hasn't been as bad as the dead enders have complained about.
I think he's been spectacularly bad. He has the one chance our country has had for decades to reform our corrupt healthcare system, and his decision is to expand the horribly inefficient status-quo by making buying into it mandatory? That's the last straw for me, and he will not get my vote in 2012.
I'm not a fan of the mandatory buy in either..for the record.. I do agree that he had an opportunity but, like bush, he catered to his base and that is where the problems began. In my opinion the far right and left base of each party should be ignored.
I ain't cleanin up . I don't get paid enough to clean up. Janitors make more than I do. Sad but true. We are in the Obama administration years now. The Bush administration is over. It was over when Obama was sworn in as president. People need to get the over Bush. Obama is the man in charge now. He needs to step up to the in' plate and do his job. If he didn't want all of this responsibility, then he should haven't been elected. You have to take the good with the bad, Barry. Obama knew that Bush ed up America while he was president. Obama knew what kind of he was getting into. It's just sad that Obama has to be a crying and blame everything on Bush all the time.
Overall relevance factor: .000000000125
LOL in 3 years we'll still be hearing "We inherited this mess"..Its getting old mang.
It's true mang.
But it is old.
Why is this the Bush recession?
Why wasn't 2001 the Clinton recession?
Why wasn't 1981 the Carter recession?
Funny how all three had democrats running congress....
I'd say they are all democrat recessions!
House and Senate were Republican until 2006.
There's a little hitch in yer git along, WC.
There was a hiccup with Jeffords giving Democrats control of the Senate in 2001.
yeah. that was awhile back.
