Every single time I read these threads and hear these talking points I want to shoot myself in the head and just call it a life.
People simply do not get it. Not at all.
Am I better off today than I was 4 years ago? No I am not.
Is that Obama's fault? Actually not really.
Let me ask this question and really think about it. Had Obama not won the election in 2004 and John McCain had won, would we be better off today?
The answer to this question is also NO! Fact is, McCain supported the bailouts. He would have done the same thing. The President does not "create
jobs". The truth is, the economy tanked under Bush's watch. Obama did not help the situation, but Obama did not get all the bailouts and everything
else passed on his own. The Republicans supported it as well! Obama's economic policy is a continuation of the Bush policies! McCain and Palin would
have done the exact same thing. So no matter who won, we would not be better off today.
The problem is not Obama. The problem is not the Democrats. The problem is in the monetary policy and it extends through BOTH parties!
Go back and check out Mitt Romney's answers during the Republican Primary debates when asked if he would have bailed out xyz... he said YES!! He said
it was the "right thing to do" for the exception of the auto industry bailout. So how is that any different??
Edit to add: Really think about this for a minute.... In 2004 after the Bush Administration disaster (and make no mistake about it, Bush was a
disaster) ,voters were so pissed off and put all the blame on Republicans. We would have voted in ANY Democrat. You could have took a picture of
Mickey Mouse, slapped a Democrat banner over his head and he would have beat ANY Republican who ran. Voters simply blamed the Republican Party. Here
we are 4 years later, and we are doing the EXACT same thing, only this time we are blaming Obama and the Democrats. So instead of learning from our
mistakes we will vote in ANY Republican because many voters have the mindset of "Anyone BUT Obama" and this way of thinking is OUR mistake. It has to
stop or nothing will ever change.
