Well, well, maybe you and Obama can attend an NRA meeting together.

Dropping Obama off at an NRA meeting would probably be about as safe as dropping him off in the middle of Somalia.

Quote from futuresbuyer3:

Couldn't have gone this far with the wars had it not been for W Bush.

Bush could have blamed Clinton for not dealing with Bin Laden, but I do not recall that happening - at least from the administration. Bush could have blamed Clinton for the dot com bubble and the modest recession he inherited - but again, I do not recall that being an officially sanctioned theme from the Bush administration.

When Obama himself puts all of the blame on Bush and the Republicans - even after 3 1/2 years he sounds bitter and defeatist; which is not the attitude Americans want from their President.

Quote from Free Thinker:

Economist Nouriel Roubini says 5 factors helped turn the nation's economic surplus into a deficit during Bush's presidency.

One well-known economist says that former President George W. Bush is to blame for the current economic crisis.

Nouriel Roubini, a New York University professor nicknamed "Dr. Doom" for his dour views on the economy, says in this video that when President Obama came to power, he inherited a budget deficit of $1.2 trillion. When Bush came to power, the country had a surplus of $300 billion.

How did we get a $1.5 trillion change in our fiscal condition during Bush's time in office? Roubini lists five factors:

1. We cut taxes.

2. We spent $2 trillion on two unwinnable wars.

3. We doubled discretionary spending. Some conservatives originally aimed to "starve the beast" by cutting taxes in order to force future cuts in spending. But spending grew so out of control in Bush's term that no beast was starved, Roubini said. In fact, the beast was fed.

4. We added entitlement benefits like the Medicare drug benefit.

5. We entered the largest economic and financial crisis ever, which caused a huge increase in the deficit through the "recession deficit" and the cost of bailing out the banks and financial institutions.

That is what I have been saying here on ET for a long time!

The idiots on ET want another Bush presidency. I bet they looked for his name in the last election, but could not find it.

Now that they realized that Bush is not running, they are looking for another idiot to elect.

All true, they spent money like it was going out of style as does Obama. We'd all like to think they are insane or stupid, but ...no... they're not. And no they don't "care" about you either. So the real elephant in the room is why...

And you are completely ignoring the fact that Independents and fiscally conservative Democrats are not buying into the premise that Obama has no accountability three years into this.

Awright, not that I don't believe he'd be this dumb, but really, I need a credible source for this one. That can't be real.
It's fun to watch the political process these days, as the exact same part of the electorate that went for this drooling moron just decided Michelle Bachman is their fave. And another Texan dumbass, Rick Perry, is now suddenly making his way like a moth to a light to that same part of the electorate.
They don't get no dumber than those two. Well, except for the voters who go for these ridiculous caricatures.
