Obama claims he inherited a mess BFD. Unemployment was at 7.8%. So did three out of his four predecessor. He should grow up and take responsibility.

Exactly. If he didn't understand that this is part of the job, he shouldn't have run. Being the president of the united states has challenges. The best we get out of Obama is blaming the previous president. Hell, Obama didn't have to deal with the most extreme act of terrorism on U.S. soil in history. And he and his supporters are whining that he was handed a mess? GTFU is all that I can say.

Joe, That was the reason Bush only lasted one term.

And, in my opinion, Bush I, had the most experience as a VP, CIA Head and best qualified to be President. Additionally, Joe, if I recall he had trouble going through a checkout lane at a retail store which was personalized as him not being in touch with the masses of common folk voters. It is odd what voters remember what positions candidate take.

Newt and Clinton worked together on a deficit reduction package prior to the economic growth in the 90's. But, it took a temporary government shutdown prior to the settlement if I recall correctly.

I agree with you that Obama inherited a financial mess.


Regarding whether he should grow up and take responsibility - no president takes responsibility, it is all about WINNING!!!
