This may shock you, vector, but Bush is not running for president and he is, in fact, ineligible for a third term. Blaming Bush for all of his problems will not earn Obama another term. Obama is currently running against a wildly successful capitalist named Mitt Romney. Polls that provide more insight into the upcoming election ask the question of who people trust more to get this country's economy on the right track. Obama has a four-year record of failure, and Romney has a long, successful career of managing turn-arounds. Who do you trust more?

[COLOR="Blue"]Rasmussen: Americans Trust Romney More on Economy than Obama
[/COLOR]

The economy is on center stage in national politics on Thursday as Barack Obama heads up to Ohio to offer a speech on the subject in the afternoon to argue that he needs more time to turn it around.

Republicans have been firing away at Obama on the economy this week -- and a new poll shows they have the wind at their back on the issue as more Americans trust Mitt Romney to handle it. A poll of likely voters from Rasmussen Reports shows that 50 percent trust Romney to manage the economy while 42 percent think Obama would do a better job with it.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters was taken on June 11-12 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

The campaign has barely begun and as more liberals come to grips with the fact that Obama is not running against Bush, Obama will increasingly get the blame that he deserves for taking a recession and turning it into a double-dip recession.

but it's the same policy's that bush had

but it's the same policy's that bush had

Bush is a capitalist. Obama is a socialist, unless one agrees with Dr. Thomas Sowell's argument that Obama is a fascist, but either way he is definitely not a capitalist. The economic policies of Bush and Obama could not be much more different. Obama has tried to keep the economy limping along just enough to win a second term, during which time he would be free to do more serious damage to our economy as a lame duck, but that strategy seems to be blowing up in his face.

BTW, the plural of "policy" is "policies." Apostrophes are not used to form plural forms of words in the English language.

^One thing that I find unbelievable is the fact that nobody is talking about the ludacris nature of Obama's blame game. I've seen 11 presidents come and go from Dwight D Eiesnhower to, :yikes: Barack Obama. In all of that time I've never heard more than a veiled reference to the former administration in a negative sense. Any adult in the room knows presidents don't reduce the office of the president of the United States, to a platform from which to assail other Americans, much less governmental 'leaders' of the other party. We tag these bad behaviors with names like "the politics of destruction", and folks seem to be able to dismiss the import of such dimly lit and unfortunate diatribes out of hand. Trying to correlate it to an analogy would be like imagining the passengers on the doomed Titanic, listing and with the bow underwater, ordering another round. It's unfathomable! Pun intended.

But, more to my point. How absurd is it that Obama has spent not just one year blasting and blaming George W, but has wasted an ENTIRE TERM, with this nonsense. 15 or so years ago, folks would have laughed him out of the White House. These days the entitlement pets and ideologues, defend his irrational and unprecedented obsessive compulsive disorder, tooth and nail. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

BTW, Sowell is among those I admire most of this country!

Obama's constant blaming and whining coupled with his OBVIOUS ineptness in leadership (since he lost his super majority) is glaring. It's hard for me to believe that a vast majority of Americans can't see it.

The constant barrage of attacks on Bush, Romney and republicans in congress is all this crybaby has to campaign on. It truly saddens me to speak of our President this way.

His election may the first time Michelle felt proud of this great country...What he has become since has me feeling embarrassment for the first time.

How on earth has it gotten to this?

The scene is right off an elementary school playground. Pointing fingers, blaming, insinuating and laughing people to scorn. It's all they've got because of their own abysmal record. In a word, this is what happens when a NOVICE is elected president. In his mind he's the greatest thing ever and you're not going to be able to knock any of the 'shine' off of that notion in that alter real, playground mind of his. Once one can accept the idea one can simply declare one's self King, anything becomes believable. Just ask Nero.
