Damn good point.

They had an earthquake in DC yesterday, I'm sure that was Bush's 'fault' too.

Hello again, Steve:

You like George Carlin?? Me too. Here's what he said about the earthquake. Yes, he thinks it's Bush's fault. Interestingly, he says it started 30 years ago too.

I've heard Carlin's rant before, I like my entertainers better when they entertain.

Back to the OP and the regime that won't take responsibility. On Feb. 5, 2009, Obama said the size of his $862 billion stimulus package was "in range."

Quote:

Asked if the figure shoud be $800 billion and not more, Mr. Obama said: “Well, I gave you a range. I think we’re in range.”

---

Four days later he said, “It is the right size, it is the right scope. Broadly speaking it has the right priorities to create jobs that will jump-start our economy and transform it for the 21st century."

Now that consumer confidence is again falling, thousands of unemployed have given up looking for jobs and in the face of other economic downturns, it's the Republicans fault for not allowing a larger stimulus package according to Biden.

Quote:

“There's a lot of people at the time argued it was too small,” he said. “A lot of people in our administration…even some Republican economists and some Nobel laureates like Paul Krugman, who continues to argue it was too small.”

“But, you know,” Biden told Tapper, “there was a reality. In order to get what we got passed, we had to find Republican votes. And we found three. And we finally got it passed,” Biden said.

But if it wasn’t for the legislative reality, Biden explained, “I think it would have been bigger. I think it would have been bigger. In fact, what we offered was slightly bigger than that.

In other words, they got everything they wanted, it was not only "the right size and the "right scope," but it had the "right priorities" to make it all better, but since they're failing miserably it's the Republicans' fault.

No matter, he has a slogan, "I'm calling this…the summer of recovery.” Yeah, that'll put food on the table, a slogan.

Obama spent in 20 months what Bush spent in 8 years. Obama said with this stimuls un employment would NOT go above 8% it's now 9.6. Why don't we stop blaming Bush for what Obama is doing. A canidate looks backward a president looks forward. When you drive your car you have a little mirror for looking back and a giant window for looking forward. This became Obama's economy on Jan 20, 2009.

Let's give him some cred . The recession ended in July 2009.

GREAT JOB!!
