Obama Blames Europe, Japan for US Economic Woes

That was my first reaction: Whaa? When did Bush go away? Because I thought as of a week ago, he was still ruining the economy and gas prices.

During his campaign Obama blamed President Bush for the massive national debt and deficit spending. He said this is what wrecked the economy.

However, his answer to the problem is more deficit spending several times higher than Bush.

I am waiting for a reporter from CBS,NBC, MSNBC, or ABC to ask this one simple question: If Bushes deficit spending was the cause of this problem, why is deficit spending the answer to the problem.

For as much as the man uses “I” and “me” he never seems to find those words when it comes time to place blame.

Funny how that is, isn't it?

Remember the press obsession with W not "admitting a mistake?"

Ever notice how this little psychopath b!tch likes to point his finger at people when he is speaking?

Dear God, I hope this POS is a one-termer and nothing more.

Aw. Why not blame Rush Limbaugh or Sara?

What a nasty lie.

Prove it.

Only 70 million voted for him, out of 230 million American adults.

Nonvoters don't count as proper citizens.

On the other hand, the ones who voted for him would have been better citizens if they'd had the sense to realize they're too ignorant to bother to vote (example: my sister and her college-age daughter).

Thanks for correcting me. 70 million should still scare you.

President Obama is pointing to problems in Japan and Europe as challenges for the U.S. economy, placing some blame on events abroad for a domestic recovery that is showing signs of slowing down

If the recovery gets any slower we'll be going backwards... oh, wait a minute...

LOL!

Didn’t they just tell us housing prices went back to 2002 levels.

2002 wasn’t so bad - W was still president.

[Gondring]

Thanks for correcting me. 70 million should still scare you.

Oh, it does...as does the number of those who have not recognized an error in his election.

I just don't like people to imply the guy had a majority of Americans support him. :-)

[Former Proud Canadian]

At the risk of raising your ire, you better check some recent polling data. I think a majority of your fellows do support him. Or very close to a majority.

I think, if people knew the truth, his popularity would be around 20%, he would be impeached.

Time for an extended payroll tax holiday for both employer and employee...

I have a liberal sister, doesn’t really follow politics. When Sarah first came on the scene, she liked her until Joy, Barbara and Whoopee told her not to!

GO SARAH!!!

[Scotswife]

well that’s understandable right?

Joy, Barbara and Whoopee are soooo much smarter than Sarah!

When liberals don’t experience “gotchya” moments everyday - when no one bothers to tell them they’re a bunch of morons, they actually manage to go through life believing they’re enlightened somehow.
