Furthermore, on January 8th "President Barack Obama has signed a huge defence bill that effectively blocks his bid to close Guantanamo Bay." Oh, this also added 725.9 billion dollars to the debt.

@ adawilkes

 Guantanamo Bay is still open "On March 7, 2011 President Obama has given the green light to resume military trials, conducted by military officers, with a military judge presiding, of terror suspects detained at Guantánamo Bay. He also signed an executive order that moved to set into law the already existing practice on Guantánamo of holding detainees indefinitely without charge."

@ adawilkes

There are still troops in Iraq, he continues to raise the debt ceiling, he's added trillions of dollars to the debt, stem cell research is obsolete (Bone marrow contains stem cells), his "New Energy Plan" won't take full effect until 2035 if we're lucky, Health Care Reform has done nothing other than add to the debt, his "Expanded anti-hate crime laws" have added 688 billion dollars to the deficit, how in the hell did he prevent "A total economic COLLAPSE"? We're in a recession...

@EternityThought ..."a thousand times better" yet the economy is even worse? If this is the best that this wonderful administration can do, they might as well give up...along with the 10% of the nation that is jobless.

@MrCharles3223 I don't know if you were paying attention, but the economy tanked in 2008 before Obama's election as a direct result of stupid republican de-regulation ideology. And everything the democrats have tried to do to stabilise the economy has been cock-blocked or neutered by republican politicians who are more interested in pandering to their angry tea-party base than in helping the country.

@EternityThought - Bush definitely started the ball rolling when he listened to the Democrats who had the majority in both houses of congress. He was weak and hung up on the hope that bipartisanship would really help the economy. The democrats have control of BOTH houses and there is no way the republicans could stop them. Your problem is that there are DEMOCRATS who won't go along with Nancy Pelosi. Whine about them because the republicans can't block anything.

@EternityThought LOL By 2008, dems had already enjoyed two years in the majority and then picked up even more seats along with the presidency. They couldn't have asked the progressive gods for a better situation. Actually, I suppose they could have asked that all the other dems would vote their way...but I'm sure that is somehow Bush's fault. So interesting that such a hysterical fool could have so much control even now...

[MrCharles3223]

@boogoo0175 Couldn't have said it better myself. Even if the democrats had gotten the super majority, those darn republicans would still be to blame. It's like they are super human or something... being so stupid and yet they thwart the poor democrats at every turn!

[EternityThought]

@MrCharles3223 You can chortle all you want, but the facts are that the economic crisis was precipitated by the republican fiscal policy of total financial deregulation. It takes a lot longer to clean up a mess than to make it, as any four-year-old knows, and it doesn't help when half the country is trying to wrestle the mop out of your hand as you go.

[MrCharles3223]

@EternityThought Thank the heavens you cleared that up for all of us! Here I thought that the massive spending under Bush may have been a problem. Then, Obama spends trillions more and keeps us tied up in Afghanistan...while pretending to end the war in Iraq. However, all this time, the facts were right in front of me! Barney Frank, the Housing Bubble, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were merely a clever diversion. I chortle no more...for now I have the facts!

You are very simple, indeed!

[EternityThought]

@MrCharles3223 The housing bubble caused a problem because of extreme securitization, which was an unsound practice allowed via deregulation that occurred because republicans believe all market regulation is bad regulation. Are you serious? What planet are you living on to not understand these things? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would have caused a problem when the bubble burst under any circumstance, but it wouldn't have dealt a mortal blow to the world economy without republicans.
