>> They economy was a lot worse than they thought...

It doesn't work that way in real life. What you're wanting is what we used to call, "Having your cake and eating it, too."

If you THOUGHT you could spend a trillion and keep unemployment under 8%, then you spend a trillion and unemployment goes much, much higher, it is your fault. Period. End of story.

Because YOU are the one who said you could keep it under 8%. You don't get to both (a) change your mind about the 8% and (b) blame it on the previous president.

Either you blame it on Bush and say, "It is f*cking out of control and all bets are off," or you say, "It is bad but if we blow a trillion dollars we can fix it." If you claim you can fix it by blowing a trillion dollars then you in fact make it worse, that is on YOU.

See how this works? It is called, "Taking Responsibility." Something most of you are unfamiliar with, but that's how it works.
