(13,892 posts)Bush had our economy careening down a canyon like a runaway team of horses going 60mph down Down DOWN.
At a mile down, Obama takes over, slows the speed of descent, turns the tired team of horses around and starts the tired horses back up the canyon at 10mph.
But, by then we are three miles down the canyon, moving up slowly.
Now, we are two miles down, heading up at 2mph as Republicans throw rocks at our path upward.
So, now, people want to complain that we are a mile below where Obama took over the reigns by saying "we are worse off under Obama."
So, now, people do not want to hear that between mile 3 and 2 that there are success stories.
So, now, people want to ignore that the other party had us going down instead of up.
Well, I call bullshit, bullshit and more bullshit.
