Answer 1

We get this question forty times a day



I don't blame republicans though



who would want to own up to the mess they caused.



Lets shift it all on Barrak Obama

Answer 2

Bush still controlled the economy until January 20, 2009. Everything the Democrats did to fix the recession that began in the spring of 2001, and never really ended for the bottom 99 percent, was vetoed by Bush. The recession did not begin in late 2007, that's just when the filthy rich started to get scared, too.



We are still under Bush's last budget until September 30, 2009. Every job lost until that day is his fault and his alone.



Meanwhile, Obama stopped the Bush Recession from turning into a depression, and the stock market is way up again.



You're welcome.

Answer 3

Even though politicians like to talk about fixing the economy, the reality is that they typically have very little control over it. Regardless of what some people seem to think, president Obama has kept to the idea of a mostly self-regulating market so far, and so he hasn't really done any more than Bush did to control the economy. Whether you think this is a good thing or not depends on whether you support a free market system or one with more government regulation, but the truth is, the president can't destroy or fix the economy if they don't have much control at all over it.



Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have any responsibility for the shape that the economy is in right now. If anyone does, it is the politicians who voted to deregulate the housing market in the 1990s, which was a largely bipartisan effort, involving fiscal conservatives and then-president Bill Clinton's 'new Democrats'. Removing regulations made to protect people probably wasn't a very good idea, but since no one has done anything to reverse that decision, and since people don't seem to want to protect themselves by not raising the median home price to $800,000, blaming any one group of people is just finger pointing.

Answer 4

Zaphod73 acts like cons are in charge for each and all of the international's issues. Out of each and all of the solutions I actual have been unlucky to make sure of his, no longer as quickly as does he ever take duty for the errors of his very own get at the same time. It became the libs that gave fannie mae and freddie mac the skill to accomplish credit default swaps and ruined the economic device. I actual have typed that down a a hundred situations interior the final 6 months and not as quickly as has all and varied been able to coach otherwise. there are the type of super style of misinformed human beings in this internet site spouting off get at the same time rhetoric with out thought of what the certainty is with the help of the fact they're prejudiced by skill of their very own get at the same time loyalty. Zaphod identity genuinely a style of, yet many others are around! LOL

Answer 5

The Recession started at the end of Clinton's last term then Bush has the economy looked differently so the spot light was off of it then when Obama (the man that talks out of both sides of his mouth) it was full blown I think we need to get rid of them all then we can get some one to fix the mess of the past 17 years. We need someone for the people someone that is of nether party people new that is not all lies

Answer 6

So if it is a Democratic Congress it is their fault. If it a Dem. President it is his fault. If both are Dems the world is coming to an end.



What about when the Repubs take Congress back? (I'm willing to admit that will happen) Is it still gonna be Obama's fault?



I'll be the first one to say that inheriting a $1trillion deficit is in no way an excuse to triple it, but mindless bashing is pointless.

Answer 7

Lets see. Bush the first ran up a huge deficit. Clinton got rid of it. Bush the second ran up another one.



Obama has promised to deal with it. In time.

Answer 8

You did leave out,

Bush proposes stimulus package January 2008, Democrats stall legislation.



Bipartison bill with McCain as one of the sponsors to reduce mortgage risks and Fannie and Freddie in 2007, Democrats decide it;s not important to discuss in the House.

Answer 9

As long as people will allow Obama to blame Bush for everything from flat tires to the price of condoms he'll do it. He is back on the Bush attack now because it works when he wants to spend trillions more.

Answer 10

I think they will still blame Bush. The will never take responsibility for anything.

Answer 11

So far only the things that have been good. Many of those, of the few that are good, would probably have happened anyway.

Answer 12

Bush.

Answer 13

Its on obamas watch once he signed the stupid stimulus its all his now
