- Here's a clue - 26 years ago is when it was going DOWN from the Carter (D) disaster.
Now it's going back UP. Coincidentally, while another Democrat is the president.
It's just laughable that Democrats can't understand simple logic like this. - Reply to this comment
- LOL!
People STILL blame Bush for the downturn of March/April 2001.
Did ANY Democrat blame Clinton for ANYTHING starting the day after he left office???
Oh, please. You're just saying the opposite of the truth.
Reagan - the fact remains, we WERE better off at the end of his four years.
You both are just allergic to facts. - Reply to this comment
- Because, logic then dictates that 9-11 was Bush's fault.
---------------------
They DID say 9/11 was Bush's fault.
Don't try to back down on it now.
September is just around the corner.
Obama will be to blame BIG TIME on 9/11/2009. - Reply to this comment

News flash: THE ECONOMY HAS FAILED.
It is on Obama's watch.
Obama is to blame.
Hey, they blamed Bush for the economic downturn of March/April 2001.
This is way past April now.
Oh ya, this is Obama's watch. - Reply to this comment

"Now lets see, who was in power 26 years ago? HMMMM - that would be 1983. HMMM - that would be Ronnie Ray-gun the godfather of the neocons! Well, who'd'a thunk?"
But, according to Con logic, a Republican President bears no responsibility for the economy more than a few years into office if that economy is bad. Yet, a Democrat is responsible for the economy's performance pretty much at the start of his Presidency, if it's bad. - Reply to this comment

- Yep, that was then and this is now. History will always recall who was running the show. Now it is another "historical" or should I say Hysterical moment for the community organizer.Highest unemployment and hyper inflation just around the corner. Where is foot in the mouth Biden when we need a good laugh? Thats right he flying around over in Iraq making us look stupid.

- You obviously have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Check this out -
The unemployment rate was 6.3% when Ray-gun took office. By the end of 1982 it was 10.8%. When Bush I took over it was back to 5.7%, he ran it up to 7.7% by the time Clinton took office. Under Clinton it was was back under 6% by 1994 and under 5% by 3/97 where it stayed. When Shrub took over it was 4.2%. In his first two years it rose back up to 6%, then dropped a little, and then finally started up again in 8/08.

Silly me. Here I was thinking Reagan got re-elected to a second term, and his vice president was the next president, because the economic recovery was so successful on Reagan's watch.
Oh, wait. HE DID.
Sounds like you're the one trying to deny all facts, logic, and history in your desperation to preserve some shred of a defense for the utter failure of Obama.
- Yes the unemployment improved in Ray-gun's 2nd term - but the deficit grew exponentially. Now Obama is increasing the deficit and that's a bad thing. Interesting. It also took Ray-gun 2 years reach the nadir of his "revision of the economy" and another six to get it right again. You're claiming Obama's done in six months!!! Jeez what a bunch!! Oh, and the only reason Bush I was elected was the usual GOPig party dirty tricks, if you can't beat 'em destroy their characters.

- Maybe darthcheney is demslie in disguise. Same amout of idiotic vitriol with the same total lack of original thought behind it. Must be one of Bill Ingvall's people who wears the "I'm Stupid" sign.

- I'm glad Cons are blaming Obama for events taking place less than 6 months into his Presidency. Because, logic then dictates that 9-11 was Bush's fault. And, logic also dictates that the serious economic hardships in 1983 were Reagan's fault.

- I just wonder how many rightist morons there are here crowing about Obama's demise and generally wishing that the economy will fail, are the same ones accusing the left of high treason when we were criticizing Bush a year ago. You are showing the exact same hatre for your country as you accused us of then. My guess is it's the same group. Same morons, different president. I certainly hope you all blame Obama this time next year when the economy's turned and prosperity is beginning to set in again.

- No I won't shut up when the truth has to be told. Talk about selective memorys you whinning Republican talking pupets do not like the truth. The truth is disposable when you try and creat your form of reality. Just keep on with the lies any body with half a brain can see through the wall of dung you are trying to hide behind. Truth will be known not your alter reality.

- Steve, you might want to go to another artical that pats Obamas back and glorifies him. Seems this story has been taken over by the working people worring about their jobs and not about Obamas celebrity status.

- OBAMA IS A FAILURE.
OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN 100 YEARS.
OBAMA HATES THE WORKERS.
OBAMA IS DETERMINED TO DESTROY THE USA ECONOMY.
OBAMA IS OUR ENEMY.
There is no way Obama will get a second term
Madoff proved there is a limit to what a Democrat can get away with.
Obama has already done far more damage than Madoff.
When will people learn - Democrats are just as destructive as Republicans?
It's time to stop blaming Bush and face reality. The Democrats are fully in charge if this disaster. - Reply to this comment
- lolll...I still think CBS should retrieve the IP addresses of all commenters and store them in a database, and then have a button attached to all comments that you could click that pops up a window listing all of the aliases that have been seen originating from a commenter's IP address.
I really think some of the righties use multiple screen aliases to add "voices" in support of their positions. - Reply to this comment

- Oh Steve you are way too cynical - you must be a liberal and hate free enterprise. I hear Venezuela has the model you are looking for and with the recent brain drain down there they are looking for some people like you to work for next to nothing and get little in return. Enjoy the vacation down there.
- If I were to suggest an unlimited term president, it'd be Bill Clinton.

- Obama is for globalization.
Obama is for free trade.
He has just repeated that he opposes any kind of tariffs or protectionism, even as sanction against China and India if they don't take steps to reduce global warming.
That's right, Obama is more committed to free trade than he is to preventing global warming.
So he'll raise the price of everything we buy, he'll raise the cost of doing business in the USA - which will drive even MORE JOBS OUT of the country.
But HE REFUSES TO STOP INDIA AND CHINA from their total disregard for the environment.
They will be putting a billion more cars on the road in the next few years, which will totall nullify anything we can do to reduce greenhouse gasses.
But Obama doesn't care - as long as he can keep DESTROYING THE USA, then he's reached his goal. - Reply to this comment
- So what's YOUR solution, skyk???
MORE FREE TRADE???
MORE GLOBALIZATION???
GIVING BILLIONS MORE OF OUR MONEY TO BIG COMPANIES TO MOVE MORE JOBS TO CHINA AND BRAZIL????
IS THAT YOUR SOLUTION?
Well, it sure is OBAMA'S SOLUTION!!!! - Reply to this comment
- You sort of have to hope that the righties know that they are lying, don't you?
Any other alternative has to include psychosis...and that is a somewhat worrisome thought, given their addiction to phallic substitutes like automatic weapons. - Reply to this comment
- Only neocon Fascist Nazi Republicans believe that Big Business and Corporate America care about the country or the average person!!

But that's what Pelosi and Obama seem to believe.
They keep giving them billions of dollars of our money.
Are you saying Obama is a fascist? - Reply to this comment
