If you could fix one political problem right now, what would it be?

The actions on the previous Congress are not binding on any future Congress. You do realize which party controlled the House of Representatives beginning in 2007 - and which party controlled the House in the first two years of Obama's presidency as well - don't you? Obama was elected to take action to improve the economy and to put people back to work - not to whine ad nauseum that he "inherited a mess."

Your attempts to blame Bush for the spending of Democrats in Congress and Obama after he retired is ridiculous. Nothing prevented Obama and the Democrats from slashing federal spending quickly after taking office. Nothing made Obama push through Obamacare, which is, as much as any other factor, discouraging businesses from hiring permanent employees. Bush deserves blame for the state of the economy when he turned over the keys to the White House. After that, the economy became Obama's and his actions have made matters worse.

Drawing your attention to what I have bolded. If anything was going to get better nothing would have stopped business from going on a growth rampage if there were anything to the Obama Pipe Dream. Candidate Obama promised voters the moon during those days, it was trully rediculous. Of course none in the media dare challenge him then, or now for that matter, why? They would have been branded racist, the death nell for anyone in public life, or any form of media.

But, back to the point. What actually happened? The debt skyrocketed to the tune of an additional 15 trillion and, unemployment rose DRAMATICALLY from 6.7% in Nov 2008;

Article excerpt----November 2008 Monthly Unemployment Rate at 15-Year High – Chart of The Day
By Sun

U.S. Labor Department released monthly unemployment data for November 2008 and it’s not a pretty picture: the monthly unemployment rate reached a 15-year high of 6.7% in November. The last time when monthly unemployment rate was this high was September 1993.

to the present unemployment rate of 9.3 percent which is a straw man for the real rate accepted outside the doors of the Ministry of Truth as being 22 percent.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/ho...Ci537pucaJ
