They were going on BEFORE the election because they said "If Obama gets reelected, this will happen" because of Obamacare. Thousands of layoffs and thousands of people getting cut to 28 hour work weeks so they wouldn't have to pay for health insurance.
And I'm not a "right winger". I just think it's hilarious that people STILL blame Bush after being out of office for 4 years.

The Republican's desire to make Obama look bad over actually doing their job aren't exactly ideal conditions.
Um, OK

I saw that.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I present the winning party.
Throwing insults, calling other posters whiners, then deleting their post so no one sees it.
I congratulate you on your brilliant and civilized posts Tw0Sides.

I wrote something in haste, and corrected it.
In other words, to myself, I said I was wrong.
Can you, or any GOP follower, do the same...
Thought so.

This pettiness and bickering from both sides is getting ridiculous. Should the blame for the current economic situation be placed squarely on Bush's shoulders? Absolutely not. We could probably trace causes back to at least Reagan. At the time though I think it's equally ridiculous to think Obama could fix the economy in a single term, let alone two years. When the recession started economists said that it would probably take a decade to fix everything. That's under ideal conditions. Guess what? The Republican's desire to make Obama look bad over actually doing their job aren't exactly ideal conditions. If people would stop buying into this false left-right paradigm we might actually get something done. Unfortunately, it looks like most people have no problem with the politicians acting like four year olds on a playground.

It's not about Obama fixing the economy. It's about him making it worse. People on food stamps almost doubled. I think the number is at 68% increase? maybe lower but I would have to check.
When you run ads on radio soap operas on Mexican radio stations explaining how to come and get on food stamps... it doesn't help a thing. Don't take that as fact though I haven't done independant research to verify, just numerous articles stating it as fact.
Also when you strip work requirements out of welfare it makes it nearly impossible to recover from a recession. Half the country is paying for the other halfs bills.
I understand there are people who legitimately need help. But the amount of people who now get help is rediculous. When someone would rather sit on their ass and collect a check instead of actually working a minimum wage job it's a disgrace.
I personally know someone who has 3 kids. She has stated that she "wouldnt be caught dead" working at a fast food restaurant. So what does she do? She gets food stamps. A townhouse and bills paid for except for around 90 dollars a month. She has an android phone and gets 500 a month cash assistance. CASH... to spend on whatever she wants which is usually something she doesn't need. It's disgusting. This is why people are bickering. I work hard for what I have and the neighbor RIGHT NEXT TO MY HOUSE does nothing all day except smoke weed while her 3 kids run through my yard. I could quit my job and probably keep my same lifestyle and have a ton of free time on my hands.

Get over yourselves take responsibility for your actions
Is Bush still President ? No, he has been retired at his compound in Austin TX
This is out of hand
