Americans Still Blame Bush More Than Obama for Bad Economy


By John Martin - Posted on 15 June 2012

From Gallup:

Americans continue to place more blame for the nation's economic problems on George W. Bush than on Barack Obama, even though Bush left office more than three years ago. The relative economic blame given to Bush versus Obama today is virtually the same as it was last September.

 

 

Even more interesting for us in the RFO community, almost half of our fellow Republicans still blame Bush, at least in part. Love the honesty.

I saw this news as well.

I just can't help but wonder, though, why the GOP thinks Romney will do anything differently regarding the deficit than Bush did.  It's a perfect example of the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

 

Amazing!! Romney is in his element of mockery!  Lol -----all he has to do is make fun of the President; he doesn’t have to demonstrate competence or anything! Romney’s campaign has been about child’s play

(What he is good at—horsing around!). I am going to have to look at previous Presidential campaigns to see if the challenger had to demonstrate some type of competence or express some reasonable ideas. I do realize that when the economy is weak, that gives the challenger the upper hand; however, this campaign seems to be astounding in how little Romney has to produce to qualify for the highest office. He and the media have decided because the economy is still recovering, Romney automatically becomes the de-facto leader.  Each talking head repeats “Romney really doesn’t have to prove much” really?? Why did Obama have to demonstrate competence when he was running for office??---

He had to come up with a plan on how he would fix this economic crisis, along with the fact that he had to articulate a time frame as to when Americans would see improvements!!—He could not go off the fact that he was just an outsider of the white house. I recall President Obama had to talk about how he would deal with Iran. He even went to the Middle East and Europe to shore up his foreign policy experience and BLEW IT OUT THE BOX!! There was a long discussion and debate about how he would deal with the Iraqi war; this discussion of his foreign policy experience started all the way back in 2007 and during most of the Primary and general election campaigns.

REMEMBER when they predicted that there was going to be a MASS attack from ISLAM/Middle East because supposedly Obama wouldn’t know how to deal with the Middle East crisis?? The nay Sayers predicted a cataclysmic biohazard war or major crisis because Obama would be too soft on America’s enemies or he would not have the intellect or judgment in how to deal with them??--- The lies and scary tactics continue on!!------ BUT OH how does Romney just scave by and makes fun of the President! Romney has been given a free ride because of the economy; all he has to do is borrow Ryan’s economic plan and bam he is done!! Lol---- He does not have to talk about how he would address the war in Afghanistan, Euro crisis, Russia, Immigration, Iran, Israeli/ Palestinian conflict, gay rights, women’s rights NOTHING!! President Obama had to talk about these topics a couple of times over during the campaign!! He had to hold a position and articulate how he would address these delicate issues!! Even the primary debates were substantive with then Senator Obama.

The primary debates with Romney were a complete joke and a clown show and now he is given even more of a free ride to act like a buffoon! lol  --- Remember Obama came into office he had to deal with several crisis!! The housing market was failing, hundreds of thousands of jobs were being lost monthly; millions of jobs were already lost, two majors Wars were going on!! The Haiti crisis!! ----The oil spill crisis!!  All of these crises impacted the economy!!  There were unexpected setbacks!!   Now if we hand the nation over to Romney;  guess what Romney will be dealing with? He will have a recovering economy that he could continue to cut programs. He would have one war that is drawn down remarkably!! He would not have to deal with Bin Ladin and his Generals because they are all dead; he would have to borrow Obama’s phenomenal blue print ( War plan)  and continue to fight Al-Qaida.  However, because the Koch brothers have invested in him, now he has to do their bidding!! The Koch brothers will try to replace Congress and the Senate; therefore, he has no other chose but to carry out the Koch brother’s job!! He will slash all the necessary protections (healthcare, oversight, EPA, the entitlements programs, Departments of Education and on and on lol)--- he will make sure the taxes are lowered so the Job creators can save money and start hiring again lol----- Guess what??  He will raise taxes on the middle class and the poor all in the name of reducing the debt!!  Lol---He will raise taxes across the board, --- sales, property and etc.

What we have to realize is that this election is not like any other election in history!! The notion that this Country is going to go back to politics as usual is a farce!   We have BILLIONAIRES!!  Putting their bid in and donating multimillions of dollars in this election; do you really think they are just going to sit on the side lines and let Romney run this Country the way he wants??-- heck no!! They will pull some scandal from somewhere and try to impeach him or they will set him up with a beautiful young woman to bring him down--- Oh the forbidden place!! They will talk about his religion and demonize him!!---- Trust me the politics of ten years ago is paradise compared to what is going on now!! Once we cross this evil threshold, there is no turning back!!  Why do you think a lot of GOPs are afraid to be his Veep person??--- Most of them are running from being the VP vetting!! Lol especially Governor Daniels!! Lol I believe Governor Pawlenty adamantly denounced being Romney’s VP person!! Lol WHY?? Because they know the price Romney is going to have to pay being the so called commander and chief!! Romney is going to have to pay with his soul!! Romney will be a virtual puppet for his OWNERS! They bought him, so he must PUT UP and SHUT UP! Lol Here is the article regarding the whole debate about then Senator Obama’s foreign policy experience being discussed way ahead of the actual Election Day!!      http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/senator_obamas_foreign_policy.html
