On the flip side, we can thank Bush for all the people not on food stamps which is probably 51% of the population. +1 for Bush & Co
The unfunded wars and financial meltdown and unfunded tax cuts will never be Obama's fault. Getting things better falls squarley on the back of Obama and the republican congress. Neither one can do anything from here out alone. The republicans have to compromise with Obama and Obama has to compromise with the republicans, that will hopefully result in good legislation and leadership for the American people. This isn't an either/or decision or shouldn't be any way.
Yes, as Obama ushers in the great recession of 2013-14 and drives America to mediocraty and worse. It will be quite a legacy. Jimmy Carter will be proud (that he is no longer the worst President in history by a long shot).
"Unfunded wars" not quite sure the problem with that. There is plenty of unfunded programs other than wars which contribute to our deficit. The wars could have been funded or supposed to be funded with Iraqi oil. Not sure what happened to that project. Financial meltdown? Massive problem with GSE's which were controlled by the Democrats, not Bush. Unfunded tax cuts. Here we go, back to the unfunded somthing or other. Obama has extended the"Unfunded tax cuts" once, if he does it again is it still Bush's fault?
I don't really care how we got here shit happens and presidents over estimate what they can do and under estimate how hard the job is. For now I want both sides to work together. And good luck, we're going to need it.
