Weak, even by your extremely low standards. Perhaps the most important takeaway from that article is that 3.5 years in, practically every point you listed continues until this very day, and in most cases, have gotten worse. Why is it that you nitwits want to charge Bush with leaving Obama such a bad economy, but you conveniently overlook the mess Bush inherited? Then, a few months later, the worst attack ever to occur on American soil, an attack at the very HEART of the American (some would say the world's) economic center. Yet, the "Bush Tax Cuts" managed to increase revenue for the ensuing several years -- right up until the time the Democrat's economic policy brought the economy to its knees. Personally, I have no interest in articles submitted by liberals as evidence; I'm not going to argue the point with an article. I recognize you personally have no knowledge of economics, whatsoever, but if you want to discuss it try to make your own points. Don't link some liberal propaganda and try to pass it off as "your thinking" on the matter. Where is the evidence that Bush policy had ANYTHING to do with these "epic failures"? If you want to argue about the Bush tax cuts remember they are now the Obama tax cuts. If you want to argue about spending out of control, keep in mind that Obama has run up the national debt at a faster pace than any president in history, and it isn't even close.

Reagan 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! ' Obama 'I don't care if you beat to death the blind Chinese guy and his wife' Chen Guangcheng Ignored by Hillary Clinton 8:05 AM, May 3, 2012 • Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese dissident who briefly took refuge in the U.S. embassy, recently expressed his hope that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would rescue him. "My fervent hope is that it would be possible for me and my family to leave for the U.S. on Hillary Clinton’s plane," Chen told the Daily Beast. But that doesn't seem likely: Clinton, who is in China now, completely ignored Chen in her remarks as part of the so-called U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue. She did not mention him once. Clinton briefly mentioned human rights, however, but merely in a vague, passive way. "Now of course, as part of our dialogue, the United States raises the importance of human rights and fundamental freedoms because we believe that all governments do have to answer to citizens’ aspirations for dignity and the rule of law, and that no nation can or should deny those rights," Clinton said, without bringing up specific cases where the Chinese government violated the rights of its citizens. "As President Obama said this week, a China that protects the rights of all its citizens will be a stronger and more prosperous nation, and of course, a stronger partner on behalf of our common goals." The meetings go on, so perhaps there is hope still for Chen. Here are Clinton's full remarks: RemarksHillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State Diaoyutai Villa 17 Beijing, China May 3, 2012
