    The only person who is tickled to have Obama as President has to ne Jimmy Carter. Now Carter can no longer be considered the worst person ever to sit in the Oval Office.

    While Carter was just a bumbling fool, Obama is intentionally destroying this economy so he can advance his insane liberal agenda

    Saw a guest reading this old post. So I found some numbers for comparison the best I could. Some may be a month off or so, others I couldn't locate yet. If blank, I haven't found it - yet. Some Trump did better, some worse.

    I regret that we have so many delusional lefties in this world.

    He rocked that one.

    Some things on the left NEVER change. Lack of responsibility and blaming others for their issues. In 2009 Obama himself took responsibility for the economy - but the supporters went 2 years later. Well, long before that, and to this very moment. I don't even think lefties were ever taught the "R" word, other than to learn why they have deficiencies, but that's not responsibility.

    Nevermind what Busch Boy thinks, let's see Obama's own words instead:

    5. July 14, 2009 – Economy in freefall. "I love the folks who helped get us in this mess and then suddenly say, 'Well, this is Obama's economy.' That's fine. Give it to me. ... I want the responsibility." - July 2009

    .

    “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

    In this quote, from a February 2009 interview on NBC’s “Today” show and widely repeated this year by taunting Republicans, Obama was referring to the pace of economic recovery.

    Obama’s explanation, of course, is that his policies, including the $787 billion stimulus package, averted depression and made possible a slow but still incomplete comeback.

    .

    But lefties don't care, blame the right instead, as their clueless about responsibility.
