Sadly, his drooling sycophants will nod their heads like bobbleheads, absolutely believing that the economy was just peachy on January 19, 2009.
Now the recession all started under Obama instead of an uptick in the DJIA and slow down in job losses, i.e. REALITY.
or wait, Eastasia.
er, uh... nope, Eurasia.
This is the same guy that managed to visit 51 states and lives on one the largest Muslim nations.
Bush and Obama - Dumb and Dumber
Obama never said that he would prevent any job losses. He said that the stimulus bill would eventually create 3-4 million jobs to replace the 3-4 million that were expected to be lost because of the recession.
You don't even get the quote right. Obama had been to 47 states, and he misspoke and said 57. It's ridiculous to assert he was confused about how many states there are.
He was right, although not too accurate, to say that the USA has one of the largest Muslim populations among countries in the world. Our nation would be in the top 20% of nations with Muslim populations.
And if you think that Obama is dumber than Bush, well, you're so dumb you think that Obama is dumber than Bush!
So, by that "logic", herr dubyah did not inherit a problem with terrorism, he created one.
Thanks, drugster!
Hey - since we're all about forgetting the Bush years ever happened, why don't we just point out that Clinton handed Obama a budget SURPLUS and he screwed it all up with pet projects? Well, aside from that being sofa king stupid, it might remind people just how bad Bush was and we ARE trying to forget about 2001-2009. (Conservative AND liberals both are!)
[sarcasm]
The only thing that we need to remember from '01-'09 is that were KEPT SAFE.
[/sarcasm]
The man has never done a single show or appearance without misinforming.
People have not forgotten the eight years of hell Bush and his gang put this nation thru.
Bush didn't track where his TARP money went. 700 billion dollars.
Bush took a balanced budget and surplus and wasted it fighting a war that still has not ended in Iraq and was not necessary.
Ken Lay and the Enron gang like many on Wall Street took the little mans life savings and ran on the Bush watch. This left our banking industry in freefall and hardworking people broke.
Bush did nothing on healthcare, energy, education and never captured the man responsible for the biggest terrorist attack on United States soil. That war and search is ongoing .
Sorry Rush and gang but the eight years of hell that Bush left is not gonna be undone for awhile.
The EDUCATED AMERICAN is not falling for your hatred of our newly elected leader and hoping he fails as he attempts to get America on top again. Keep blurring the facts to the other haters of Obama.
True Americans are hoping and praying Obama succeeds.
At about the same time the wingnuts say we can judge the Dubya "legacy."
What was that, twenty years?
From your comment, one would think you were living under a rock for the last 8 years!!
President Bush has presided over the weakest eight-year span for the U.S. economy in decades, according to an analysis of key data, and economists across the ideological spectrum increasingly view his two terms as a time of little progress on the nation's thorniest fiscal challenges.
The number of jobs in the nation increased by about 2 percent during Bush's tenure, the most tepid growth over any eight-year span since data collection began seven decades ago. Gross domestic product, a broad measure of economic output, grew at the slowest pace for a period of that length since the Truman administration. And Americans' incomes grew more slowly than in any presidency since the 1960s, other than that of Bush's father.
The administration also failed to gain traction on some of the fundamental economic and fiscal issues facing the nation -- including solidifying the finances of Medicare and Social Security, simplifying the tax code, or making health care more affordable. Resolution of those issues might have left the government more flexibility to respond to the current crisis by lowering the nation's future budget deficits.
And the stimulus has saved many jobs and created more, but we always see ongoing job losses in recessions, well after the recession officially ends. So your assertion that the stimulus didn't work is totally wrong, and just a figment of your talking points imagination.
The top 5% conservative wealthy put alot of effort into putting their fellow americans into some deep holes. Nobody waves a magic wand and makes it all better in a few months. Not even in your finest ditatorships, much less a democrasy where solutions require support and time to make their effects happen.
Do you know any real jokes?
