Does the left really believe Obama and the Dems are fixing things? When you start with the most obvious indicator, the deficits, you have to say they got to be kidding! Bush’s worst year was the one in which the Democrats held the house and the senate, it reached 400B. Now, two consecutive years with Democrats and deficits have been 1.2T on the first year, and if we consider that on July the defict was 168.04B (yes, one month deficit of 168.04B) it looks like the second year deficit will be near 2T. Is that bad, or is that bad?

Funny, but I fail to see any tangible negative outcomes that have resulted from Obama’s fiscal policies.
The economy is stabilized and has stopped its Bush-era meltdown. There are signs of economic recovery, no more system-level bailouts, and steady, reasoned, fiscal reforms.
Although the air is full of Republican doomsday squawking about what could or might happen because of the current economic policies, nothing bad has actually occurred, while tangible and far-reaching bad stuff happened in the Bush era.
Reasonably, it should be expected to take a whole lot more than two years to clean up the mess Obama inherited.

Same old loser Republican ideas, same old loser Republicans. As Jon Stewart so graphically pointed out, the Republican “Pledge to America” is just the same old ideas that failed America, word for word. They’ve got no ideas; all they can do for America is pull it back to the recession that Bush caused.
Thankfully, all those lunatic Teabagger candidates winning Republican primaries are going to get the majority moderate Republicans voting Democrat as well this November. If any more win, the Democrats just might get their supermajority back.

@FanDeElis – you need a fact-checker… If Bush and the obstructionist party hadn’t blown the budget in 2001 by giving away the surplus to millionaires and billionaires, more than doubling the federal debt from $5 trillion to $11 trillion+, and if they hadn’t funded the 2 wars he started ‘off the books’ so the bills didn’t appear on the ledger until the democrats got the majority in 2007 and put standard accounting practices into effect, and if they’d stopped the hundreds of billions in fake medicare claims (don’t you watch 60 minutes?), social security wouldn’t be broke and 40% of our taxes wouldn’t be going just to pay the interest on that debt (which was run up from $700 million to $3 trillion by Reagan in the 1980s, by the way… so don’t even start spouting any ’supply side’ lies).
If the repugnant ones’ claim that people making over $250,000 per year are the ones who create all the jobs, the unemployment rate should be about 0.001% after 10 years of the giveaway of the american public’s money (aka “tax cuts for the rich”) that they pushed through.

You know Obama inherited an economy with 7.6% unemployment? What is it now? He has increased deficit spending and ensured that businesses cannot afford to hire with his health care plans, and promises to end their tax cuts.
Bush did the first Tarp bill, Obama can’t take credit for it. The Democrats loved it though and the Republicans opposed it. Bush warned about the housing bubble. Democrats did nothing. This mess will get worse unless we stop the liberal Democrats. If you want to see things get bad, let the Democrats push CapNTrade. We will lose any remainder of industry that we have left. For that reason alone we have to stop the Democrats.
