Would be good if that was the question of the day, Larrry.

Wow, that's quite a list. :shock:

I know we have friends who own a couple of businesses.
They have enough work to hire two men, but they won't do it
because of the cost of hiring them AND if they make more money,
Obama is just going to take it. So, they'll (husband and wife) do what they can themselves...
and maybe go fishing...which they haven't done for years.
It just isn't worth the hassle to then find themselves taxed
more. Sad that that is what the US is coming to.

I see where the new Gov. of New Jersey, Christie, is planning
to do some things to make people want to come to New Jersey
to work. This will be interesting. I think he's very sincere. I
hope he comes up with something that will work. He has
an interesting website: http://www.state.nj.us/governor/

Recent surveys suggest Obama isn't the only one holding the Bush administration and Republicans culpable.

Though the Democrats controlled Congress in the last two years of the Bush administration and have controlled both the White House and Congress for a year and a half -- 41 percent of people surveyed in a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll said Republicans are responsible for the current economic problems. Twenty-eight percent blamed Democrats, and 26 percent said both parties share responsibility.

According to a Washington Post/ABC poll conducted in April, 59 percent blamed Bush for the economy, compared with 25 percent who said Obama is at fault.

To me and the majority of Americans it will always be the "BUSH BUST"...

OT, how about a more recent poll?

Looks like obama's blame game is not fooling as many as it once did. The recession started under Bush, no doubt, but the policies that are supposed to end the recession are obama's, and they aren't improving the situation any, so he will get the blame for that.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds that 48% say the current economic problems are due to the recession which began under the Bush administration. This finding is down five points from late April and compares to 62% in May of last year.

Forty-three percent (43%) now say the nation’s economic problems are being caused by the policies Obama has put in place since taking office. That's up four points from a month ago and is the second highest level of blame for the president in a year of surveying. Last October, 45% blamed his policies.

If you remember obama has been telling us the last few months that we are coming out of the recession and things are getting better. But as of now almost all the indicators are pointing to things getting worse. So since obamas so called upswing we are getting a downturn........so here on out it is all obamas.

Unemployment claims are up.

How long do we have to hear that Obama inherited these problems from Bush? He is the one who said we had problems and needed change. He is the one who said that he could bring change. He is the one who asked for the job. By continually blaming the previous administration for problems he knew about is basically saying he isn't up to the task. Is Obama admitting defeat? It sure sounds like it. Either bring about the promised change or quit whining. So far he has only increased the problems we already had and tried to shift blame.

Have to remember that there are one or two posters on here that blame bush for everything from the fall of the Roman Empire to todays cattle prices.
They don't sleep well unless they bash Bush,
Not saying Bush did everything right, but it about time some of them wake up an smell the roses

Why some on here are still blaming Clinton for everything. But you are too blinded to see the comparison.

Perhaps it is you who is blinded, can you comprehend the fact that I said Bush did not do everything right, not once in this post was Clinton brought up.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows that 47% still blame today’s economic problems on the recession that began during the presidency of George W. Bush. But now 45% say they're due to the policies of President Obama.

EH?

Obama own this mess hook line and sinker. If he was a true leader that knew what he was doing he would buckle down to solve the problem instead of constantly giving blame bush speeches. He is only campaigning with the blame Bush agenda so he has that to fall back on when even more caves in on him.
Sure there are people that blame Clinton for problems....one difference is that you didn't have Bush out everyday giving campaign speeches blaming Clinton. Obama that is a different story....he can't open his mouth without "it's Bush's fault" coming out of it.

wrong again larrry. the american people own this mess because for the last thirty years you voted for the guys who did your bidding and don't blame it all on the libs - ever heard of military spending or the farm bill? you voted for people who promised to overspend and now you'll have to pay the bill. it would be the same whoever was president now.

so you are saying every president since Jimmy Carter is to blame?
If that is true why isn't obabma blaming them?
Why does oldtimer only blame BUSH?
something wrong with the picture you are painting ??

Well-known member
nothing wrong with the picture whoever you are today. you just can't see it. reagan's voodoo economics started the really big deficits and ithey've continued on and americans kept putting big spenders in office - both left and right. it was never sustainable and now you've reached the tipping point. it's gonna be a long slide down.

Everone has to share the blame, look at the past Washington residents. They all wanted to overspend. But when you have obama come in and explode the spending like NEVER seen before, we have the right and duty to put the blame where it belongs....on obamas doorstep.
That is not to take into consideration all his escapades to stifle production and raise taxes. When you put tax increases like he has on top of his extreme spending it is a recipe for an economy worse than we have now and is coming soon.

i guess you didn't pay enough taxes before to cover the spending. you're at least one president late in reforming american spending and buying things your country can't afford like stupid, unnecessary, unwinnable wars. you don't get it - this isn't a matter of obama making the mess worse. he's trying to take you to a soft landing and the rest of the world is saying they won't follow the same strategy. they're taking their medicine and the usa is afraid to swallow.

A soft landing ...now that is a doozy. Bush's spending was bad, but now obamas is more than ten times worse ....and you call that a soft landing.

Spend yourself into prosperity never works.....surely you know that.

no you haven't heard it all because you don't know very much. all this spending is to avoid the double dip that is going to nail you anyway. obama is quite unfortunate to be president now. i wish it was palin because she's so stupid she'd deserve it.
