HOW DOES OBAMA SAY, "BLAME BUSH," WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?

Submitted by: John Butler


Accountability:  
  
      Who  is really to  blame?
   Who is accountable and responsible to the  citizens of  our Republic for the financial straits we are in today? 
  
 
     Here are two separate  articles saying the same thing in different language; please read  them both. 
 
    Remember the  day the  Democrats took over. 
Or, in other words, It's still Bush's Fault because so many people don't remember. 


  Don't 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, the 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  CREATION!  
 

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  ! 
  THANK YOU  DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and  4.6% Unemployment...  to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES! 
     
   (BTW: 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, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters and theDemocrat  Congress 
So when someone  tries to blame Bush... 
   REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE  DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!" 
Bush may have  been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal  and steering wheel they were driving. 
Set the record straight  on  Bush! 
 
    "It's not that liberals aren't smart, it's just that so much of what they know isn't so" -Ronald Reagan 
   
    
B-B-B-B-But it's his Fault! 
  As  president Reagan said (paraphrasing): "These facts can be  difficult things to deal with."  
    
    PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE GOING IN HOPES THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE PEOPLE  UNDERSTAND WHOSE FAULT THIS HUGE DEFICIT ACTUALLY IS!!!!!!!!! 
  The Washington Post  babbled  again recently about Obama inheriting a huge  deficit from Bush. 
         Amazingly enough, a lot of people  swallow this BULL. 
So once  more, a short civics  lesson. 
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. 
Let's remember  what the deficits looked like during that period: (below) 
  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, unless each of us sends it on!
