President Obama has been in office since January of 2009. It’s now January of 2014 and Dear Leader’s cohorts are still blaming George Bush….
Honest question: In the immediate months after 9/11/2001 the U.S. economy contracted and tanked steeper and faster than any single 3-6 month period in the history of economic measures. George Bush responded IMEDIATELY and forcefully with tax credits, tax refunds (checks mailed within 30 days) and a nationally delivered speech, the infamous “buy stuff” speech. It worked. If the same thing happened during this administration do you think they would be able to handle ?
I strongly doubt it….. they don’t have solutions – their expertise is limited to talking about problems, they have ZERO solutions.
(Via WFB) – White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer returned to a familiar Democratic talking point on Fox News Sunday, blaming the financial crisis “this president inherited” for the laundry list of Obama economic woes pointed out by host Chris Wallace.
After showing a graphic revealing median household income had decreased, poverty rate was up and the labor force participation rate was at a 36-year low during the Obama presidency, Pfeiffer implicitly blamed the Bush administration.
“I think it’s important to remember this president inherited the worst economic situation since the Great Depression,” Pfeiffer said. “A financial crisis.”
Wallace cut him off, saying that was more than four years ago, before Pfeiffer rattled off a list of Obama achievements.
“But you talk about restoring opportunity,” Wallace said. “Median household income is down. Labor force participation is down. Food stamps are up. Poverty rate is up. If things are so great, how come they’re so lousy?” (link)
