http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_2000s_recession Many economists object to characterizing it as a "recession," in the United States, since there were not two consecutive periods of negative growth. However, economic conditions did not satisfy the common shorthand definition of recession, which is "a fall of a country's real gross domestic product in two or more successive quarters," and has led to some confusion about the procedure for determining the starting and ending dates of a recession. Either way,Bush didn't come into office with 8.5 % or 8.1% unemployment like Obama and Reagan for there to be a fair comparison.
I have to say the past few days debates have gone on without childish insults much longer then I anticipated. I am not surprised that bugscoe would be the one to start them.
Please indicate what any other president could have done to stimulate sales and turn this economy around.
They cant say that Reagan would have turned it around faster.Unemployment got worse under him then it has under Obama under similar circumstances
if the stock market precieved obama as a problem for the economy it would react negatively. the market loves obama. in strictly market gains terms obama is the greatest president ever.
What dont you understand about the fact that most of his "socialist welfare" policies are policies he copied from or continued from Republicans ?
The Obama/Reagan lie is one of the current desperate libtard propaganda tactics. Unemployment hasn't been at or above 9.5% for 14 months since the 1930s... and the median length of unemployment is MUCH higher under Obama.
So you're saying Obama's spectacular failures are the result of Republican policies? Is this a generalization of the "blame Bush" tactic that failed? LMAO!!!
Unemployment has been at or above 9.4 % for over 14 months...Under Reagan The last time unemployment went over 10.5 % is the 1930's...and under Reagan
