Your sarcasm aside, you surely have oversimplified everything but I suppose that would make it to your advantage.
Banks have stopped collapsing but recall the VOW that Obama made that he would not allow or I think it was elimanate the danger of "too big to fail".....well guess what....the five biggies had assets that amounted to 43% of US output....NOW..the are at 56% thus it is
worse now than ever, but he poured a lot of money out to someone. And you are right to lay this at his feet.
AUTO industry...Bush was pushing reorganization but as a lame duck gave in and gave them TARP money...Obama gave more and had the company give more concessions to the union and guess what THROUGH
reorganization the companies came out of it. I give more credit to those who ran the company through the reorginization and we, the taxpayers own 30% of an auto company and the union is set.
Foreclosures are down...now in this case I suppose you are patting Obama on the back for that..OR are you saying the entire thing was the fault of the Bush administration ? Two different arguements....hope you actually know what caused the problem.
Point is, the knee jerk reaction of being sarcastic and blaming Bush does not wash....here we have another lie from Obama about the banks..put that alongside the many lies on healthcare and the lack of a budget because they are hiding the hidden taxes in the healthcare....well, you are obviously comfortable with all that. I am not.
This is not a defense of Bush (not something I have ever done)....but you can adore at Obamas feet and if it makes you feel better blame everything on Bush as you did with such outstanding sarcasm, but you need to some day face the actual FACTS which do not reflect what you try to present..not at all. Just keep ignoring the facts and the misrepresentations and it will not end good.
