The thing is the repubs have been against what obama is doing way before barry.
Yes
No
double rainbow all the way
Might be to the rabid right, and that's not enough to win big.
I have a feeling they're going to need more than that. As a party, they're deeply divided. Cases where candidates from outside the party win and the party backed candidate doesn't. That's the impression I get anyways, and I hope it changes before November.

Most of America too.
Really? Like Medicare Part-D? Or the Bank bailout? Tax cuts?
Or those are not real republicans?
Yeah, that why they voted him into office...
They thought he was different. They believed him when he talked about no earmarks, transparency, the economy would get better, he would end the wars, all congress would read the bills, place the bills on the internet for atleast 5 days before a vote,etc,etc,etc,,,,,,Yeah, that why they voted him into office...
Meh... I knew he was sold when he voted for the telecom amnesty before the election. I'm certainly disappointed he hasn't closed Gitmo and ended the wars by now.They thought he was different.

But back to the claim that most republicans have been against what barry is doing, it's a silly claim. They've been doing the exact same thing, and that's in part why Barry got his job.
1) I got great pleasure in the passing of part D. I'm against most social programs, but i do believe in taking care of our seniors. The really pleasurable part was democrats were promising it for 40 years, always reneging. Then republicans passed it.
2) The bank bailout had very few republicans voting for it. Just because a neocon president did... None of the conservatives did now, did they?
3) The tax cuts were a good thing. Sorry you disagree.
You're for more debt and unpaid obligations.
I'll remember that when you about debt again.
Are you sure about that? Let's look at the voting record, so you can refresh your memory:
Senate
House
And it's not that a neocon president just signed it, his Treasury Secretary was the one that sent the bill to Congress to begin with.
The increased debt disagrees with you. But more spending seems to be your motto, so you should be right at home with Obama.
So the GOP stopped the obstructionism for a unfunded social program1) I got great pleasure in the passing of part D. I'm against most social programs, but i do believe in taking care of our seniors.

Great Job!
...back to the OP, who cares if Obama blames Bush or not, the important part is the voters blame Bush and the GOP for the countries economic woes in Nov...
Think as you wish.
Medicare is a system for our elderly. It's welfare programs that people receive that are capable of working that I have a problem with.
Only one propbelm.
Our economic woes didn't start till 6 month of more after the democrats took control of congress.
How can anyone with an above room temperature IQ blame that on Bush, or the republicans?
Yes, because Bush signed these bills into Law......why blame Obama for the cluster- s in Iraq and Afghanistan...they were cluster- s well before he came into office.....politics isn't fair sometimes, but it is what it is..
Are you being a smart ass or does everything viewed by you in black n white? I'll remember that when you about anything. I agree that I hate social programs but seniors are different. raising people on the govt.'s dime from people who earned it vs. helping out seniors to get the medicine that can't live without.
But you said "and the GOP." The GOP had almost no members agreeing the first go-around. It wasn't until an amendment required all money repaid in TARP-1 pay back down the deficit it added to, and not be directed anywhere else, that it received some republican votes. I was still against it thinking more would be lost than what was. TARP-2 is the real problem child. How many republican votes did it get?
I have no problem with Part D, but the GOP should have raised taxes to pay for it...instead Dubya lowered taxes on the highest earners and started two unfunded wars...
Obama isn't as liberal as the media tries to make him out to be. He continues to do the illegal wiretaps and monitoring that happened when Bush was president. Gitmo is still open. He has deployed more troops to Afghanistan similar to Bush deploying more troops to Iraq. Obama is against gay marriage just like Bush. I know that Obama supports civil unions but he does not support gay marriage. According to him, marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman. Obama loves to spend money just like Bush did. Obama spends money that puts America further in debt just like Bush did. When you think about it, Obama is serving Bush's 3rd term.
how did oif and oef make the unemployment rise and stay to 9%? If we are talking about the massive spending, then why is obama not to blame for his incredible increase?
By the time TARP was being passed it was already too late...we needed legislation and regulation during the GOP do-nothing Congress of 00-04...
Bull . TARP was not needed. No business is too big to fail. That at ude is purely elitist.
An industry was accepted by supply and demand that regulation allowed to happen, rather than prevent. If the large government backed places didn't have incentive to buy worthless paper, but were required to operate by market factors, this would have never occurred. several republicans tried to reign this in, but demonrats like Barney Frank prevented it.
God, are all 26 year old virgins this stupid?
The majority after Dubya promised them rainbows and lollipops...How many republican votes did it get?
The market almost collapsed after Lehman brothers was allowed to crash and burn...can you imagine the economic devastation if every brokerage house and over-leveraged bank, not to mention the nation's money supply, was allowed to crash and burn?
