I just noticed something, democrats blame all the problems on Bush, and the republicans blame all the problems on Obama. I personally think that both parties are at fault.
Why don't you guys stop blaming things on Bush. If you havn't realized he isn't president! Focus On what Obama has done and you will realize that he has dealt with every situation in the worst possible way.

Time always tell's how well a president has done. Maybe in a few years we'll see if Bush really did a good job or not, as it stands now he did terribly. Obama hasn't had enough time for any of his legislation to take any real effect yet, I hardly see how his decisions have beenthe worst possible one he could have made...
It's a wall of words, so just bear with me. And read the whole thing, as quoting one sentence will not mean any thing without the next. And finally, this has no political bias intended. So don't site me as one or the other.
What possible difference does being 1.8 trillion more in the hole going to make. With Bush our great great great great great great grandchldren would still be paying of this debt. So you and I aren't any better or worse of becasue of this...
Why would it make our greatx6 grand children pay for former President Bush's 'mistakes'? He put us about 200 billion in the hole. The rest is accumulated debt since Vietnam. You know why we're like that? Because of tax cuts and a 2 wars. They don't really mix that well in an economical sense but hey, watch you gonna do? Anyway, do to those tax cuts and a hyper inflated market, people think they can buy a house in a sea of sameness for $500,000+ when it's only worth $200,000-. Well, they can't afford these houses so they take out loans. Well, they can't afford them so the banks foreclose. Unfortunately, the banks are now down $450,000 dollars. Multiply that by 100,000 homes and you get a lot of debt money. People then lose their jobs because the banks can no longer pay Wall Street, which equates to overall loss in 99% of companies who then request a bailout. That bailout puts the economy in a further $1 trillion in debt. That means that people have nothing to do but sit in front of their TVs watching the news. This leads to them seeing on the TV 'global warming' and '10 soldiers die in terrorist attack'. They then want eco-friendly cars and resent the wars. The government tunes in and does what they think the people want, when this is just the 14% who don't have a job and find the time to write all this eco stuff and 'I don't like the war' stuff. They then tell the presidential candidates to either listen to what these homeless unemployed people want to hear or what the country needs. Either way they lie. So no matter what, we get a liar in the presidency. The president ends up with a massive crisis and gives the bailouts that the companies request. As stated before, we get 1 trillion in debt. A further .4 trillion spent on a failing education system and the rest spent on everything else. Which is why the president hasn't accomplished anything, because he's all across the board, instead of focusing on one thing. And now were where we're at. The point is, everything has a chain reaction that goes straight to the head of government.
I agree with you that our nations debt has been accumulating since Vietnam, and that all our nations problems head towards the government and were based upon people being unable to pay off loans, but what I'm getting at is we'll be paying off this debt for life times to come. Even if the US is around in another 1,000 years people will still be paying taxes.
So far, I'm looking at a book (can't remember the name) that says the econ will go:
Yep, that's a common capitalism economy all right. We go up and down due to inflation and buying goods from other companies overseas. What I think would at least somewhat HELP our economy would be to stop buying useless crap from china and start SELLING our own useless crap overseas. Not to mention, that'll give us more jobs if the immigrant problem at least dulls out.
what... NO. We need foreign trading , deficit spending to raise the economy out of the rut. Obama currently is not into foreign trading but into deficit spending. which might fix one problem at hand, but cause other countries to maybe dislike us.
This is for the first post (the creator of the thread). Are you kidding me!!! And you do not think the country was already terrible. Dude. you must be on drugs or something.
People don't know what the monkey comic really means do they? The monkey was referring to how stupid the stimulus was and that a monkey could have written it.
Also, as stated above your opinion has both no weight and is flame-spam.
You live in Argentina...but anyway, I doubt anyone would be glad if Obama died. Sure all the conservatives are saying it now, but if that were to really happen the United States would be very vulnerable. Anyway, if Obama were to die we'd just get Biden. So basically, you guys need to just shut up and accept that he's going to be president for at least the next four years.
im with you NOBAMA!!!!
Why? Whenever you post in the World Events forum you should explain what you say. I mean, you should in every forum, but especially this one.
