In response to a post by an acquaintance blaming President Obama for the state of our economy plus other aspects of his administration that has not been superlative, I responded as follows:
What an amazing litany of
empty-headed inglorious BS! So it's Obama's fault now? Now that we're
better off than when the "stuff" ended its slide downhill into a
quasi-depression in mid-2009?
Do you really believe it was
Obama's Recovery Act that caused those eight million-odd job losses and
drove up the unemployment figures to 10%? Get over it. The Recovery Act
slowed then stopped the bleeding. To believe otherwise is just plain
ignorant.
My mind just cannot fathom the depths of despair this
country would be in now if McCain had won in 2008. Think about it, how
would he have stopped the 600,000 job losses per month, repaired the
bursting housing bubble, and contained the financial markets and banks
so our country wouldn't become a piddling worthless entity? Sure, blame
Obama for getting our troops out of Iraq, blame him for doing what Bush
reneged on--killing OBL, blame him for the stock market doubling in
three years. And, for good measure, blame him for not getting a budget
out of Congress for three years(?) when the 'Publicans (better
"Publi-cannots") filibustered and would not permit cloture on every part
and parcel of the budget. I say blame the 'Publi-cannots for not
allowing final votes on a budget.
Just say'n......
