Is Obama The Second Coming (And Falling) Of Dubya?

Quote from Tsing Tao:

You blame the recession all the time, which is your way of blaming Bush, or at least absolving Obama from blame.
I believe the last time I blamed the recession was in reference to the deficits of the past few years.

Who cares where you did it. You frequently use the recession as a scape goat for Obama's failures. The thing is, the recession WOULD be at fault for Obama's failures, if the Recession was something that could shoulder blame. But, as any reasonable individual knows, it cannot and must be placed at the foot of a President. Since you won't put it at Obama's foot, it must be Bush's fault.

But if it makes you feel any better... :D

Let me see...how many ways can I flip fractions around to make Obama look cheated.

Now who's talking semantics? :D

Ok, the recession cannot be "blamed". But it can be identified as a cause. Happy?

Happy, Pappy?

Sure. Just keep in mind that my retort is always going to be "Ok, the Recession is the cause - what is ol' Barack doin' bout that?"

He's not spending much money on it, not spending like a Reagan to produce a "Morning in America". So you should be happy.
 
so you want to compare deficit spending?

Could comparing the levels of spending be unfair?
Why Ricter...why would you not want to compare 2013 dollars to 1980s dollars?

Because I want to take into account the size of the economy doing the spending?

"I spent $100 thousand."
Did I spend a lot of money?
 
and I thought you did not want to have to say obama should spend more because of inflation...

well here i what the market is telling you about obama's spending...


I just read to day that the FED now owns a third of all 10 year equivalents and is buying up 70% of the bonds at auction.

I think that should tell you Obama's spending in relative terms is crazy.
