^Not to mention that when Reagan took over and the country fell into a recession that actually had higher unemployment than our current recession two years into him being in office he blamed Carter, and when Bush jr. Got into office the country also fell into recession shortly after he became president he blamed Clinton. To say that Obama is doing anything new or uncommon by blaming his predecessor for the recession that existed for nearly a year before he got elected is ridiculous.
What the fuck are you guys talking about "he needs to stop blaming Bush?"
What problem that we have right now ISN'T Bush's fault?
Nobody misses George W. Bush, at all. My problem with Obama is that he hasn't broken with Bush enough. I think that is a lot of people's problems. Bush let the corporations run wild, and we got fucked for it, I would NEVER want to go back to loosening restrictions on them like that. Also, he brought us into two wars without even really planning them out at all, one of which he didn't even have a reason to go into in the first place. The problem with Obama is that he hasn't tightened things enough, the regulations aren't coming back, and the withdrawls of troops are happening slowly. He's unpopular because no matter what he does the Republicans will hate him, and he hasn't really done enough to please his base. Granted, he has been cockblocked by the most obstructionist Senate minority in history.
I would be willing to bet that groups like the RNC are probably against this billboard, which was put up anonymously. The last thing they want in potential Republican voters minds is a return to George W. Bush. Nothing will EVER clean his record. The man is human scum and was literally booed by the masses as he left office. The Republicans have been doing everything they can to rebuild their image and cleanse themselves of his legacy since he left office.
Also, to the person who said the healthcare bill sounded bad, what exactly sounded so bad about creating regulations to give consumers power over their health insurance companies? Phew! We dodged a bullet there! Healthcare companies were going to actually have to deliver what they say and limit the amount of profits that they make off of people! Seriously, I don't understand how people got led in such a backward way by corporate interests. There is no logical reason to be against this bill as a consumer of healthcare. The kid who posted that he was against it said he didn't know much about politics or this bill, but heard it was bad. What a fucking pawn. You Bush-voting, get-them-wepons-of-mass-destruction, "didn't Saddam cause 9/11" dipshits are the ones fucking up by just accepting political agendas that are harmful to normal people and helpful to corporate interests who exploit them without even really knowing what you are accepting or opposing. It repeats over and over and over again. How the fuck is the highly impoverished south still so solidly Republican? They are either suckers or genuinely very racist and still angry about the civil rights bill. I just don't understand how fucking stupid Americans can be. Feed 'em till their fat and they'll let you do anything to you.
