Republicans so quick to blame the economy on Obama
I'm sure if it turns around it will be because of Bush.

1. Repubs never take responsibility for anything bad
or wrong, or any mistakes. But, they did everything good! :puke:

2. I'll never forget Karl Rove's claim
"The stock market is a time looking device" meaning they forsee the failed policies of Obama and is cashing out. Total BS, the stock market goes up and down mostly due to emotions, fear, etc.

7. If it turns around they'll just change their music
Remembering the Clinton years when the economy turned around suddenly the message turned from how Clinton economy would destroy western capitalism to how you were paying too much taxes on the job you got due to the Dems policies. Sadly too many American voters have that short an attention span that this works too often. All too often once Americans get a job they focus too little on the money they are now making and too much on the money going to the social infrastructure that kept them going when they were out of work.

8. You would have to be insane to believe that.
Seriously, Bush had it so screwed up when he left office I am surprised we haven't plunged into a deep depression.

15. Of course. Everything negative that happend under Reagan was
the fault of Carter. Everything positive that happened under Reagan is to Reagan's credit.

Everything negative that happend under Bush I was the fault of Carter. Everything positive that happened under Bush I is to Reagan's credit.

Everything negative that happend under Clinton was the fault of Clinton. Everything positive that happened under Clinton is to Reagan/Bush's credit.

Everything negative that happend under GW Bush was the fault of Clinton. Everything positive that happened under GW Bush (if you can find anything) is to GW Bush's credit.

Everything negative that happens under Obama will be Obama's fault. Everything positive that happens under Obama will be GW Bush's credit.

That's how it works. Sometimes they say the economy is on a 4 year cycle, sometimes an 8 year cycle, sometimes they say it's a 16 or even 20 year cycle. Whatever's convenient at that moment. Being a partisan hack means disregarding reality.

17. There was actually a letter in USA Today last week
"chastising" people who were complaining about the GOP already blaming Obama for the economy when he'd barely settled into the chair in the Oval Office. The writer said that "only the facts matter, so let's look at the facts." He then proceeded to say that the budget deficit in 2008 was such-and-such, and that such statistics don't lie, so Obama WAS at fault. Um, uh, hello, hey clueless motherfucker-Obama WAS NOT PRESIDENT IN 2008, DIPSHIT DUMBASS! My God, how did these people even make it out of third grade?

I remember Bush's first several years in office, NOTHING was his fault. It was ALL CLINTON'S fault, no matter what it was. Even after 2004 they were blaming Clinton for everything under the sun, it was un-fucking-real. And now they're acting as is W. never existed, that there was no such president these past eight years. Dumbass fuckers.
