Do you know what the phrase troll bait means? Yeah, you fell for it. You're a tool. At least that other idiot in here with his conspiracy theories has an excuse, he's just mentally handicapped. You on the other hand are willfully ignorant. And you jump on every chance to illustrate it.

Oh boy.
Clinton's final 6 years he had a GOP Congress. Bush's final 2 years he had a liberal Democrat Congress. Look at when Clinton's economy got on track, and when Bush's went off track.
And where is it now? 9.1% And his own people are saying it won't fall below 8% before Novemember 2012. So he will have 4 full years and it only went up. That's economic failure.
And the community organizer may be the ONLY post-WWII US President to NEVER have a quarter with 4% economic growth. Even Carter wasn't that bad!

He inherited a mess, the "dot-com" bubble had just burst. Then 9/11 happened. And through it all he maintained an unemployment average of 5.3%. That, my friend, is solid economic policies.
LMFAO!!! I may be an uneducated buffoon, but at least I passed basic math.
To get an average, you use EVERY month, not just the first and the last. Do we calculate batting averages using the player's opening day stats and then his closing day stats only? Of course not.
You average every month Bush was President, you come up with a 5.3% average. With the community organizer, it's over 9%. And he has a year and a half to go!
Here's that link again that has every month's unemployment rate, so you can do the basic math yourself:

Can any of you liberals have a discussion without calling names and resorting to personal attacks? Or am I asking too much?

Then how is the economy Obama's fault?Oh boy.

It's not fully his fault. But the fact that it's gotten worse his first two years is his fault. And he had a Democrat-controlled House and Senate for his first two years. And the Senate was filibuster-proof for over a year as well. And the laws he signed only made it worse, and drove up the deficit at the same time.
Democrat policies caused the 2007-2008 recession. Clinton's deregulation created the housing bubble, and Democrats led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd refused to open Fannie and Freddy's books while swearing they were doing just fine. Bush and the GOP tried to institute MORE regulation in 2004 and were stopped by Congressional Democrats (who even resorted to using the race card to fight off new regulations).

LOL at your logic.
Clinton's success = 100% attributable to Regan's legacy and then a Repub congress.
Bush's failures = 100% attributable to Clinton's legacy and a Democratic congress, even though Republicans were in the majority for the first 1/2 of his term.
Obama's failures = 98% his, plus 2% goes to congress right up until Republicans gained more seats, then it's 100% Obama after that.

I'm laughing at you once again putting words in my mouth. I never gave Reagan credit for Clinton's policies. Never. Matter of fact, GHW Bush went away from some of them so they were not fully in effect by the time Clinton was President.
But he did change his economic policies after the 1994 elections. You do know what the term "triangulation" is, right?
I didn't say that as you put it.
I said the housing bubble was caused by Democrat policies and Clinton's deregulation. That is true. But Bush did spend too much, and I've blamed him for that in the past. And you know that. And that is his fault. FYI, I'm also against campaign finance reform law(s) he signed into law as well. You won't see me say Bush was perfect, but the community organizer does make him look like an economic genuis.
And again, Bush was not a failure. 5% unemployment when you come into office facing a possible recession, then have 9/11 happen, is pretty good leadership if you ask me.
His failures are 100% his. Not ONE policy that he enacted those first two years was a success. Not one. Of course if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
As to the economy now, you can't blame the GOP. Not one of their bills that passed the House was signed into law as they passed it. They were either vetoed by the community organizer, didn't make it through the Senate, or were changed before being passing Congress and signed into law. So you can't blame the Party that has one chamber of Congress when the other has the White House and the other chamber of Congress. If we get a Republican President and GOP control of both chambers of Congress and they make things worse, I'll call them on it. I won't sit here and make excuses for them for 2.5 years+.
