Beer Chang Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 The POTUS can certainly be blamed for some things while others are out of his control.
Wino Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Oh, it is so much easier to blame it all on the past POTUS.
Beer Chang Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 An example of what can't be blamed on the past POTUS is 9/11. An example of what can be blamed is the war in Iraq.
lvdkeyes Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Another thing that can be blamed on Bush is the fact that when he took office the US had a budget surplus; when he left office it was the highest in the history of the US.
Thaimo Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 Another thing that can be blamed on Bush is the fact that when he took office the US had a budget surplus; when he left office it was the highest in the history of the US. I think you meant to say the highest deficit in the history of the US.
lvdkeyes Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 OOPS!! Sorry! That is what I meant to say.
Wino Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 I bet Obama can beat the past POTUS in regard to the deficit.
Beer Chang Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 It looks that way. The powers that want to reflate the economy which is good for some but happens to be very bad for me.
Wino Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 After the results of the Massachusett special election, Obama admits he has been out of touch with the people. I think the people do no want big governmental spending. More spending will certainly lead to higher taxes. Who knows Obama might not beat Bush's deficit records.
