No, it wasn't the Republicans' fault because the moment they stepped out of office, their slate was wiped clean.
And it couldn't have been Clinton's fault because of the same. Or the first Bush, or so on and so forth.
The near economic collapse immediately disappeared with absolutely no overhang, and they did their very best to help Obama be as effective as possible for the betterment of their country, McConnell's statement about doing anything and everything to thwart the president notwithstanding.
A near collapse that was predicated by lousy policy on both sides of the aisle, including a policy to force banks to lend to people not worthy of credit, etc.
Out of curiosity, what was your reason for injecting the president's skin color into this particular exchange about economics? What possible bearing does it have here? You may wish to give that some thought.
Apparently it is you who would need some more thought. I would have thought the reasoning would be obvious since it is blacks who are suffering more economically than any other race, under the President who should be doing everything he can for blacks - other than giving them handouts that ensures they stay poor forever. I mean, if the first black President doesn't do it, what hope can blacks have of anyone else doing it?
I wonder what Freud would say.
Probably something about hiding under new nicknames after throwing old ones to the dustbin (assuming you aren't double posting like Ricter did - hell, maybe you are Ricter).
