When did I ever say it had anything to do with obama?
And you conveniently skipped over anything Clinton did.
Also I am not a registered republican, nor do I vote straight republican, I've voted for plenty of democrats too.
My point before all this bait and switch was it's hard to blame a singular president for the economic situation. It's the whole system in general, a lot of different parties.
Just because you only played one verse of the Republican anthem don't get irritated that I played both.
As to there being plenty of blame to go around, I agree...I just don't limit it to presidents or politicians. The US provides the best governing environment on the planet, probably ever. It produces the greatest opportunities the world has ever known for the citizens...who constantly rage at any intimation that they should have to pay for this.
No politician, from either party, can point to the ballooning deficit and say "yeah, folks, you're going to have to get a little closer to paying for what you are getting." It is political suicide to not claim you will cut taxes, no matter how low they are for the services provided, and that isn't the politician's fault.
