I have been arguing this all along:


This tells the whole story, why Bush was so bad at the end of his term. Don't just skim over this, it's not long, but read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!
The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

At the time:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%-- almost nonexistent at times under Bush
George  Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH!

Remember  the  day... January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House       Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.  The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?  BANKING AND FINANCIAL  SERVICES!

Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION  Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!  Bush asked Congress  17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.  And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?  BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA! And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?  OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.

So when someone tries to blame Bush... REMEMBER  JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"  Budgets  do not come from the White House.  They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat  Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 &  2011.  In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.  At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.  And where was Barack       Obama during this time?  He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and  he signed the omnibus bill as President to  complete 2009.
If  the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.  After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the  budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.  In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

Is this the proper place to complain about that Obama ad they keep showing on ESPN?  Apparently they did NOT get my memo.  Aren't they the WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SPORTS?

We do not talk about ESPN or sports here. If you continue to talk about sports here we will move this thread to The Quad.
