Il love hearing that poor Barack "inherited" all this. Bush wasn't a dictator, the legislative branch sets the legislative agenda, and the Dems controlled that from 2006 - 2010. And from 2008-2010,the Dems control;led EVERYTHING, and even Obama admitted on TV that things are worse now than they were when he got coronated, sorry sworn in.
From whom, exactly, did he inherit all this? Weren't Obama, Biden, and Clinton very big parts of the government prior to 2008?
His numbers on handling the economy are horrific. If you believe his numbers about how many jobs the stimulus "saved", it works out to $250,000 per job. That is completely insane.
There are things he inherited, and I don't blame him for that. But Obama had the ability to do anything he wanted for 2 years, the GOP couldn't stop a single thing. And indeoendents don't like the way he handled things. If he's not responsible for what he inherited, he's responsible for his reactions to those things. People like the way he kills terrorists (largely, he left the Bush anti-terror infastructure in place). People don't like his economic policies, unless they are in unions or green technology, and thus receiving the goodies.
Spence and Zimmy, you (and all libs) just keep thinking he's invulnerable. A Romney/Rubio ticket, combined with $5 gas and unemployment above 8%, will be tough obstacles for Obama. Not insurmountable, but challenging.
"If the man can walk on water why isn't gas 2.50 a gallon?"
He's the one who said the Earth would begin healing the day he took office. You're making fun of the absurdity of those words, but those are HIS words, and I agree they are absurd. They should also frighten anyone who has any ability to think rationally.
