Concerning placing blame of a recession or giving credit for getting a country out of recession, read this. Can A President Really Fix A Bad Economy? : NPR

Maybe the blame game should stop. Fat chance.

1. Of course, how foolish of me. ONLY Republicans are obnoxious.

2. WIKI link aside, not sure the relevance of the SIX and half year old link and not sure what your point was if you knew it was bias. Certainly an intelligent discussion of the Bush years, which was the thread title would not include something that old.

So, sorry for being obnoxious and wanting to use facts and not be biased.

I will allow you to continue on your way...make your point and blame whomever you want sans facts.

I offered a few ideas for intelligent discussion on the cause of the recession. I certainly apologize for that and can see how you would find that...what was the word...OBNOXIOUS

It should stop but sadly it wont !!!

That was the point I made in my two posts that were found to be obnoxious.

When was the last time you saw "dumbo" our current potus in Church on Sunday, or
Visiting Vets in the hospital?

When he needed to suck for votes. He doesn't need anybody or anything anymore that does not fit his agenda.

A little ove a year to go to get rid of him.

Maybe he's just a class guy, not a hotdog like Bill Clinton

As far as I can tell only two Republican candidates have mentioned W....... Trump ripping him and Jeb defending him.

The President
 

These people calling our President childish names is disgusting and I automatically stop reading the rest of the post. Your ignorance of the subject is shown when you spew such un-American views. Moreover the facts are that your next President will be a Democrat again, so please learn to deal with that.

Bush has kept America safe?! What do you call the attack on the World Trade Center? There were 3000 people who wouldn't agree with you.

Oh, when "W" was president, I was still working, got plenty of overtime, made 13 to $15. more an hr. than the people that worked doing the same exact job that I did & everything was cheaper than it is now. The one we have now told us "I'm in Charge Now".

Not sure who the next President will be but totally agree with your take on how so many posts here degrade the Presidency to the point of disrespecting the Office and what it stands for.

Sort of brings back memories of the last 4 years of the Bush presidency doesnt it ?

We think we are so important in this country as we go through all this gossip talk and degrade our leaders and ignore what is really happening in the world.

Those who read here will note correctly that almost 100% of the posts on this forum are aimed PERSONALLY at an INDIVIDUAL with name calling being the preference.

Issues are basically ignored and it almost seems to be a crime here to talk about an issue.

And to those who fear for criticism of our leader in Washington DC....listen up

Obama is the President of the United States. He sets the direction of the country and sets the tone of the country.

As some enjoy saying....elections have consequences.

One of those consequences is that you might get elected and when you do, you have responsibility and you WILL be criticized, even if you claim perfection as many suggest our current President does claim.

We sure have very short memories, EXCEPT when we need to find something to say that might reflect on a PERSON and not an issue.

This entire thread, in the middle of an election cycle with the world in turmoil is a monument to having our heads in the sand.

What relevance does whether Bush campaigns for anyone have at this point ?

Should not issues be discussed, including the character of the candidates ?

CANDIDATES, not past Presidents.......this entire thread was set up to divert any discussion from criticising our current candidates.

Most of us do in fact have respect for the office and position of POTUS.
Just because we do not support or disagree with what the incumbent does is of no consequence or disrespect for the presidency; the man in office at the time.

That would be Obama. To ANY experienced executive, after viewing Obama's work ethic, promises made VS promises kept, racial bias, total incompetance at international level for just one year the only conclusion would be to remove him from the job for lack of performance. It is, for me that simple. The man is all talk. No substance proven time and time again over the past 7 years.

If it were not for the permissive nature of our country these days PLUS the fact that he is black PLUS the silent majority doing nothing.....he would have been gone long before now.

Party loyalty is one thing. Tolerance of incompetence at the expense of the welfare of we the people and the USA is quite another. There are much more qualified democrats to take Obama's place.....our no balls, offend nobody society just can't/won't deal with it.

I respect the position of president. However, I do not respect Obama. I didn't respect him when he was running for president and I still haven't changed my mind other than to be more firm in my disrespect. He doesn't respect me, or most Americans, so I feel no obligation.

Obama was only elected because he is black. Sorry, but true. He has maintained his position as president only because he is black. No other president, including Bill Clinton would have gotten away with the policies and abuse that he has gotten away with. Since the only thing different about him that may explain how he gets away with his actions, is that he is black then that is a logical conclusion for his immunity.

Speaking fact and truth does not make one racist. If anyone has a better answer for how he gets away with his abuse of power, other than his ethnicity, I would be interested in hearing it.

If Ben Carson gets nominated, I will vote for him in the general election. So, before accusing me of being a racist, you better come up with some evidence. Obama is racist, not me. We do have something in common though. We both enjoy BBQ.
