A depression was certain

The main thing is that you have it in your mind Obama "saved us" from a Depression. That's stupid and reflects a total ignorance of the history of the last decade.

As Laffer has stated, the tax-and-spend policy of the Left -- and that includes under GWB -- is what is killing us. The problem has been multiplied massively since Obama took office.

Obama has not HELPED the situation, he has actually made it worse, and massively so. And if he is allowed to continue it will become worse yet.

GWB allowed the Ds to get away with stuff that hurt our economy, no doubt about it (the Kennedy Education bill, for example). But none of this stuff comes CLOSE to what Obama has done in the last six months.

But no president has ever been as fiscally irresponsible as Obama.

Obama's mistakes may not be intentional. As I pointed out before the election, he is simply inexperienced and incompetent. This is what we get by hiring someone who has never held a meaningful job, as president.
