After four years of exploding debt, credit downgrades and record unemployment – the US electorate chose to keep everything the same in Washington and see if Obama can completely finish of the country during the next four years.
Obama had every advantage four years ago and proved that he was completely incompetent – so voters thought he might do better from a position of confusion, negativity, dishonesty and weakness.
Four years ago Newsweek proclaimed “we are all Socialists now”. Today, “we are all Greek Socialists now” would be more accurate.
“Scared children, led by the most petulant, and insane, among us” is the proper technical term.
When in US History has such an incompetent, failed President been awarded with re-election? Five trillion in additional debt with virtually no improvement in the economy. That must be hard to accomplish. At least Carter did not waste nearly as much money with his incompetence. But you have to remember, it’s all Bush’s fault (sarc).
Short memories – whose policies drove the US economy into the greatest economic disaster since the great depression? Some guy named Bush that Teapublicans seem to have forgotten completely.
Clinton handed Bush a budget *surplus* – and Bush and a GOP House & Senate squandered it away. And the CBO just released a report saying those expiring Bush tax cuts will have the least effect on the economy in the ‘fiscal cliff’ scenario.
In other words – since I know you have trouble with anything not reported on Fox News – we gave the rich huge tax cuts and they did very little for the economy – but they sure did help create a huge deficit. Of course you’d have to be brain dead *not* to realize that even before the CBO produced the numbers.
A broken clock is right twice a day. You’re more reliable – always wrong.
Unemployment was 4.3% when Dems took over Congress in 2007. Lefties like you have no clue what you are doing and are incapable of every taking responsibility for anything.
Ben Bernanke chairman of the Federal Reserve, which is to a significant degree responsible for the US mess, served both under Bush and Obama. Benanke has essentially continued the policies of Alan Greenspan from 1987-2006, until the collapse of the housing bubble. Clinton served from 1993 to 2001.
To assert that Clinton is not responsible while Bush is, when both had essentially identical policies that lead to the crisis, is idiocy. Obama did not cause these problems but his fiscal tactics have been near copies of what Clinton and Bush did. Although some could reasonably argue that his own elements added to the mix has made a bad situation even worse.
Here’s what yee sound like, O’…. 😆

Classic definition of idiocy: Doing the same repeated behavior while hoping for a different result.
John Cleese knew a thing or two about idiocy. Take a look at ‘The Village Idiot’ at 2min 50s. Did you know they get their degrees at UEA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlss_LiNeJk?
