    From whom Obama inherited this "Mess"?

    Just received this great short summary.


    The Mess and from whom Obama inherited it


    This tells the story of why things were so bad at the end of Bush's second term. Do not just skim over this, read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out.

    The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

    For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:

    January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.

    At the time:
    ·The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
    ·The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
    ·The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
    ·George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH

    Remember the day...

    January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

    The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

    Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

    Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.

    And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?

    OBAMA

    And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?

    OBAMA and the Democrat Congress

    REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"

    Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.

    Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 &2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

    For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

    And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

    If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

    If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

    There is no way this will be widely publicized by the liberal, socialist media!

    Re: From whom Obama inherited this "Mess"?

    I'm ready to see if Romney will call Obama out for blaming the recession on the Bush tax cuts (or the generic, "policies of the past 10 years", as Obama says). If the tax cuts destroyed the economy, why did Obama extend them and is now touting his low tax policies during his reelection campaign. It just doesn't make sense to me.

    It was the mortgage crisis that caused the recession and those policies were expanded under Clinton, but Republicans shared in the blame with deregulating parts of the banking industry. And Bush did nothing to curtail those policies. Both parties are to blame, but the majority of Americans think Bush alone caused the recession... due to disinformation from media and the left and the lack of explanation from the right. Romney needs to explain what happened, but I haven't seen him do that yet.
