They act like the Great Recession was just a garden variety, 10-year business downturn, instead of what it really was: the worst economic downturn since the Depression. Also, they fail to acknowledge that Republicans obstructed and tried to block everything that Obama did. They added amendments to the stimulus bill that included more tax cuts, instead of the massive spending that we needed. The recovery was slower due to what THEY did, not what Obama tried to do. When the Republicans took back the House in 2010, that was pretty much the end of any real recovery efforts.
