The country was hemorrhaging jobs BEFORE Obama took office,
I've tried to stay quiet but I can only do it for so long....Let's just not get into this conversation. Blaming somebody else is precisely why the United States of America is in the shape it is in today...NOBODY wants to take the blame for anything they do, from political office to the household.
This President is responsible for job loss UNDER HIS WATCH, and Mr. Bush is responsible for job loss UNDER HIS WATCH.
I believe Barack Obama is the FIRST President since World War II to have a net loss in jobs during his term. Even Jimmy Carter was better. Barack Obama is also the man who takes the blame for getting the USA downgraded from a AAA rating for the first time...unless his name is Bush.
And don't get me wrong, Bush was a good person but I think he did a pathetic job. Granted he had some tough stuff thrown his way almost immediately (Sept. 11). No excuses though for him as there are none for the current President.
I have been a registered Republican for a long time, but what the Republican candidates stand for now is disgraceful and often childish in its simplicity. I voted for the 2nd Bush, once. If one looks over his record, he is one of the worst presidents overall that we have had.
Sounds like a decent way to sound "middle of the road" to me.
