Republicans are to blame for President Obama's poor performance

Fiscal 2006 the economy was doing well. Fiscal 2007 the economy was in trouble. Democrats took control of Congress at the end of Fiscal 2006. Congress control the Budget and appropriations. Any Questions?

Look at the numbers from 2007 on... they tell an even better story. Stop trying to blame the republicans for the democrats failed policies. Even when the republicans were in power, they did not have a filibuster proof majority. Although there is no doubt that the republicans strayed from their conservative roots, their spending does not even come close to the spending binge that the current lack of administration is doing. Any more questions?

Look at spending from 2004 to 2006 when republicans controlled the government. The numbers don't lie, even if you wish they did!!!

In the case of our former president Bush: I would agree with you 10000%. Reagan didn't have to deal with the largest deficit in our nations history, and the worse economy in 70 years. Those are FACTS, not propaganda. The reason Reagan was able to do what he did was because he was able to compromise with EVERYONE, and Reagan didn't have the same political climate that we have today. Could you imagine if a republican worked with a democrat today? Both would lose their job, even if they solved all of the worlds problems. Obama has a long way to go till he reaches George W Bush level of incompetence, and stand at the top of the worse leader in the WORLD. Bush took a budget surplus, a Social Security surplus, and a medicare surplus, and the best economy the country had seen in decades. When he left the country was on the verge of total economic collapse, and record deficits. Find me another president that has screwed the country worse than this using FACTS, not your opinion.

"When he left the country was on the verge of total economic collapse, and record deficits. Find me another president that has screwed the country worse than this using FACTS, not your opinion." Debater, why do you keep saying it's all Bush's fault? Have you forgotten about the House and Senate? You do realize that most of those morons in the house and senate responsible for what happened the last 8 years, especially the last 2 years of Bush's presidency are still there don't you?

Perhaps you forgot the Democrat bill "No Child Left Behind" that President Bush worked with Democrats to get it passed. When problems with the program started it suddenly became President Bush's program. When President Bush wanted to investigate Fannie and Fredie it was Congressman Frank who attacked the messenger and publicly stated that the F & F were sound and doing a great job. It was the Democrats who blocked Bush's attempts to reform the two. When the crisis hit at the end of Bush's administration and Congress (Democrat Controlled) passed the Bail Out program that President Elect Obama wanted. Working with the PE Bush started to appropriate the money. President Bush worked with PE Obama to spend the money. President Obama thanked him by blaming him for all the problems. The last two years of his administration were spent with a Democrat Congress who fought him all the time.

It seems to me that the recession of 2001 was blamed on 9/11.

Team, do you remember 2001 to 2005? EVERYTHING was Clinton's fault. Who did you say "never take ownership for their mistakes"? By the way, when was the last time you heard Bush take responsibility for the worse economy this country has seen in 70 years?

Being a Realtor, I most certainly do remember 2001 until 2005. It was the greatest real estate boom of my career. Did you forget those years.
