If that's his claim to fame than ...lol. People can't eat because he killed Osama, people can't fill up their cars because he killed Osama, people can't pay their mortgages because he killed Osama.
Are you stupid enough to think anyone could have fixed the fucking mess he inherited in a little under 3 years?

Hmm maybe you are. I can tell you this it sure wasn't MCPalin and it sure isn't any of the clowns running for this elections Republican Nomination.

I suppose you can link to something that would prove that I am a republican, or that I supported extending the tax cuts. Why is it that when someone disagree's with your view point they are automatically labeled a "republican"? Is that how narrow your mind is?

That is how one-sided your posts are.

It doesn't matter what I think about his policies, but anyone that is stupid enough to believe that killing Osama is going to even be an issue come election day is retarded.

That is how one-sided your posts are.

You obviously haven't read all my post.

I'm sure if "MCPalin" were elected instead of Obama that you would be just as sympathetic with the current economic conditions. But I guess I'm not stupid enough to believe it though....how about you?

This keeps getting thrown out as an excuse ("but but but Boooooosh!"), but there's a difference between "not done fixing it yet, but we're on the right track" versus "making it worse". The majority of the country (according to gallup) realizes we are on the wrong track and that it's getting worse, not better.

The whole "he hasn't had enough time to fix the mess yet" would only hold water if he was actually making progress toward making it better. He's only made it worse.

I think you're seeing the disillusionment of every Obama voter when they realized that, no, he's not going to pay your mortgage and gas bills.

lmao. Americans still blame Bush by solid majorities, kiddie, according to the most Republican leaning polling firm in the country: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub..._for_current_economic_problems_39_blame_obama

How much time should he get?

At what point do we hold him accountable?

Learn to read. Go back to my post, read it again, and this time try to comprehend what is stated. I did not say anything about Americans blaming Bush. Here is what I said:

Have you ever held Bush accountable? When Obama screws up the Economy, then he should be held accountable for it. So far all y'all are still putting the pieces together of the Economic dive that occurred before Obama took office.

It's sad you still don't see the connection nor do you understand what I was replying to. I guess in addition to being a hack you're also not that sharp. You don't look anything like FNE, do you?

Yes, I refused to vote for Bush in 2008.

Now back to Obama, when do we hold him accountable for not making things BETTER than when he took office?

How about we give him a pass for his first year in office since the economy was still getting worse and just grade him from the lowest point.

At what point do we hold him accountable for the fact that the 'recovery' has not really been a recovery? Or that unemployment today is at the same point it was two years ago? Or that housing continues to get WORSE!

Sooner or later you have to stop pointing fingers at Bush's failures and hold Obama accountable for not making things better.

As stated before, that's the but boooooosh excuse, but it simply doesn't hold any water unless you can show that things are on the right track. They are not. They are getting worse.

Riiiight. You just showed that people still blame booooooosh (hey, when the entire media does it, of course the people will), but that's completely besides the point. People see that we are on the wrong track. You can blame lots of stuff on booosh, but you can't blame him for not getting us on the right track over the past 2 1/2 years. Try again sparky.

Things are better, much better. Like I said, when Obama screws up, he'll be accountable. Until then, enjoy the Bush mess.

The blame lies where the problem occurred. That just so happens to be Bush. Sorry.

After 8 years if things aren't better then it's on him.

DO you honestly believe that there was anybody who could have turned the mess Obama inherited around in less than 3 years, hell even 4?

Things are better but the economy has stalled over the last month or so. I do believe that actions by Bush at the end of his Presidency and Obama since have kept things from getting much worse than they could have been.

all we really needed to fix this mess is more tax cuts. Why cant people understand this?
