@trooper40below single thing Obama did and like I stated. You can deny til you're blue in the face but its a fact so why debate on the issue? Facts are something you can't deny. Now if you want to debate Obama's policies then thats different. But the FACT is things are looking good for Obama. All without the help of congress (mainly the house GOP).

@RevTox Yes, Obama is cleaning up Bush's mess with no help from the GOP congress. Tax cheats like what? Give examples instead of just saying things. What pork project Obama put out? The economy is obviously better prior to him getting into office. 700,000 jobs lost per month prior to Obama...during Obama job increases. Dow Jone 6,000pts prior. During Obama up to 12,000pts. So the economy is better prior to Obama getting to the white house. The republicans were just saying no to every

@trooper40below You really think Obama is cleaning up stuff? With all his tax-cheats and other undesirable cronies, he hasn't cleaned up any corruption (and let's not forget about the Porkulous). He had 2 years of a full-Democrat congress that could help him pass anything he wanted (and they passed a good bit of garbage), so don't blame Republicans for his lack of performance, it's Obama's policies. Plus, the economy is still worse now than what Obama inherited from Bush, look up the numbers.

@gian0888 "the deficit HAD to be raised to save us from what was going to happen."

That is so true. Obama had to spend money to stimulate the economy or do nothing and watch the country collapse. You speak the truth.

[trooper40below]

@RevTox Yes, Bush policies had a profound effect on the economy even to this day and you have to understand Obama is cleaning up stuff. Obama also had to deal with a GOP congress that was and still is not trying to work with him. Obama compromised on some thing like keeping Bush tax cuts until they expire etc. Bush definitely screwed up the economy. You seriously can't blame Obama on this. Lastly, the economy is better than what it was before he got into office.

[RevTox]

@gian0888 Oh, really? You still think it is Bush's fault that the economy is still in rough shape, even though Obama and his Dems (or maybe dims) had control of both houses of Congress for 2 years and could pass whatever legislation they wanted. Even now, the Repubikans only control one house of Congress, and they haven't been all that conservative in their compromises. Obama's big spending is far higher than previous leaders, but he still has his boot on the neck of our economy.

[gian0888]

so, now you are blaming record unemployment on Obama? the deficit HAD to be raised to save us from what was going to happen. Bush raised the debt in WARS AND GIVING IT TO THE WEALTHY TOP CORPORATIONS.... Obama did it to save people from HUNGER.

WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND THIS?

[BansheeGun]

@gian0888 So you think that Record unemployment, Record Debt, and Record spending is good? Yeah Bush increased the debt by 4 trillion dollers in 8 years, but Obama increased the debt by almost 5 trillion in 3 YEARS!! Yeah Obama is really "Fine". Believe me he will NOT be re-elected, America is smart enough not to elect that idiot again.
