Obama complains Bush didn’t know where he was headed and drove into the ditch.
But Obama doesn’t seem to know where the ditch is, or the road even after we’re in the ditch.
“...We didn’t know how bad it was” -—> how is that different from Bush? At least Obama has the advantage of hindsight, but he still has no clue.
This is basically the same argument that you would have heard in 1936. After the election in 1932, Roosevelt really didn’t move the economy a single inch...other than hiring a massive number of folks onto the US gov’t payroll. The entire election of ‘36’ could be blamed on Hoover, almost in the same fashion that Bush gets blamed today. Had everyone in 1936 and 2012...worked to fix the banking situation and get them stabilized...then you would have had a fairly good step forward, but no one ever went in that direction.
