Fact: Most American’s still realize and understand that America’s
economic problems are the fault of George W. Bush and the Repugs and
only inherited (not caused) by President Obama.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, more than a
third of those surveyed said George W. Bush deserved a great deal of
the blame for economic woes and a third said he should get a moderate
amount of it. Not quite another third called that unfair, saying he
warranted not much or none of the responsibility.

The 71% saying Bush should get blamed was a modest decline from the
80% who felt that way about a year ago, in July 2009.

What about President Obama? In the July 2009 poll, a third, 32%, said
he should shoulder a great deal or moderate amount of the blame. That
percentage has risen -- no surprise, given that he's been in office
for 20 months. Now almost half, 48%, do. But 51% say he's dealing with
problems he inherited, not created, saying he deserves not much or
none of the responsibility for economic problems that include high
unemployment and a faltering housing market.

There was, predictably, a yawning partisan divide on the question.
Republicans by 4-1, 44%-10%, were more likely to give Obama a great
deal of the blame than Bush. Democrats by more than 20-1 targeted
Bush: They said the former president bore a great deal of the blame;
just 3% said that of the current one.

The survey of 1,021 adults, taken by landline and cell phone, has a
margin of error of +/-4 percentage points.

What the majority of Americans realize is that the Democrats have
controlled Congress, controlled Congressional spending and chaired all of
the banking and finance committees for the past four years. Obama likes
to claim that the Republicans drove the economy in to a ditch. Well he
jumped in the driver's seat and drove it straight off a cliff. Obama has
spent more money and run up bigger deficits that any president in American
history. Record high unemployment, a $trillion dollar ear-mark loaded
stimulus that failed miserably and a $two trillion big government take
over of our health care system that will bankrupt this country.

Pull your head out of the kool aid bucket and look at the anti-Obama
protests that are going on all over this country. The Democrats are now
terrified of the mid-term elections and are desperately trying to distance
themselves from Obama and his failed fiscal policies.

Irish Mike

American Conservatives and Independents will take back the House and
Senate from the Social Democrats in the mid term elections and then vote
Obama out on his incompetent left wing ass in 2012.

No, just YOU thinks that. And after being shown how wrong you are.

There is still much enthusiasm for President Obama's economic
policies:

Controlling for those who think "tax increase" means "free
fish", maybe not so much.

Because it's a semi-famous literary device and Turbo's never had an
original idea of his own?

I can understand why; they seem to be working and the GOP has no workable
ideas at all.

Employment up; manufacturing up; jobs added for eight consecutive months;
GDP is up; Dow Jones up; retail sales up; corporate earnings up; Inflation
is almost nonexistent; service sector index is up; inflation is down; U.S.
dollar up; corporate profits up; interest rates down; U.S. treasury sales
up. That sort of 'working.'
