No other president that had a recession or depression ever took as long to fix the economy. You socialists really need to grow some and admit that Obama is incompetent and was never ready for the job. You picked the wrong "one" to lead the country. Instead of bringing the country together when it needed it, Obama has been divisive and lowered it's world image as the greatest country. Obama was such a disappointment.

Well, the education that they are throwing out there is total nonsense. Obama is to be pitied. Where has anyone said that? If all you want to do is play the blame game, "W" doesn't walk away from the great recession.
The stance that almost very Republican has taken is Obama is responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the last 15 years. Even when Hannity throws out numbers from the Treasury to kill the argument that Obama hasn't doubled the National Debt, they totally ignore him. Sounds like people that watch Fox News don't want to be "fair and balanced".
The Democrat Congress had more power than the "W" in his last two years of his presidency. Maybe you should try to back that up with facts. He was turned back on some of his requests to Congress, but not everything like Obama has been dealing with, since Republicans have controlled Congress.
Concerning the length of the Great Recession, read this especially the last paragraph. Although the recession ended, people felt the effects long after it was considered over.
