Obama should contine to hammer away at the crisis he inherited ....

It IS the truth, isn't it? And he should hammer away at the slow but steady progress he's made (and as he anticipated 3.5 years ago) despite the Boehner and McConnell torpedos. Take the fight to the enemy and make him stand on GM.

 

Who would Obama work with? Its campaign season. No one has good interests at heart right now. Not Democrats, Republicans, or Tea Party.

Forget working together. Everything offered is a sabotage for other candidates, or fake carrots dangled in front of interest groups. It's basically a mine field until after the elections.

Nothing can get done, I think.

 

He's got to maintain contact with the people who voted for him in 2008. A lot of people liked Obama, but a whole lot more detested Bush. And there are tons of parallels to be drawn between Bush and Romney. He shouldn't be worried about taking prisoners. Romney sure isn't.

 

Oh you don't mean working with Congress to push in some last minute bribes for special interests. Okay.

Well, Obama is trying to work on issues. 2 days ago I got an email from the White House asking my opinion on possible legislation to make it easier for homeowners to refinance their mortgages.

Who can say whether it is sincere or just a last minute push for votes? Of course the White House has always opened their decision making to the public at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/advise though I don't know if many people know about it. Perhaps just the cool kids who know technology but don't really know about the issues?

 

If the economy slips into another recession like Europe has, is that still a crisis he's inherited or does he finally have to take some responsibility for something?

 

Still blaming Bush? Seriously? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4nvhAZ0vr0

 

Maybe you should email that advice to whitehouse.gov. Seems the only thing Barack's hammering away at is begging rich people for enough $$$ to buy his re-election.

 

Are you speaking of the crisis that obama inherited from the DEMOCRATS that were seated in control of both Houses of congress on Jan. 3 2007?

Because up until THAT moment, Employment was increasing, Federal revenue was increasing, in fact is still the most in history. the deficits were steadily decreasing. Now the AVERAGE deficit is 8.09 TIMES higher than the last Republican deficit.

obama whines and excuses his every failure, and they are many. He refuses to take any blame for his total failure. And mind-blind liberals believe him.

But the voters will show in Nov. that it IS the Democrats/obama's fault!

 

Forty years and another five presidents from now, what little will be left of the silly Democratic Party will still be trying to blame "Dubya".

The majority of Americans will be replying,"Who or what is a Dubya?"

 

I wasn't aware that progress was a backward direction. I thought it was forward moving. Silly me.

 

No....the truth is you elected a 143 day Senator/Community Organizer who never ran so much as a lemonade stand much less a candy store......who doesnt have a frickin clue on how to improve an economy.

And surprise......his policies have been an absolute failure by any and all measures including his own.....and his economy sucks ass Time to step foot out of Imaginationland.......where corrupt slimeball community organizers are economic gurus and job creation wizards....Reality awaits.

The strategy might work if the bloom had not come off of the rose. That is the challenge Axelrod faces. More and more people are now questioning Obama and not simply swooning at everything that he says. The Obama loyalists on this Forum are not the typical American. The loyalists will vote Obama regardless of what he does/doesn't do. Axelrod knows he has those votes locked down.

The statute of limitations on blaming Bush have run out. Also, people know which party was in power in the house and senate the last 2 years of Bush.

Romney is forcing people to think of the terms "Executive" and "leadership". If Axelrod tries to blame Bush it portrays Obama for what he really is, weak, not an executive or a leader.

As much as people might dislike ROmney as the GOP candidate you have a guy who has been

loyal to his wife and family
turned around the Olympic committee
resided over 4.7% unemployment as a governor
ran a successful business and made a success of himself
looks presidential
acts like a confident executive
did well in school

there really are no *****s in the armor which rational people would question him. It really is a challenge to team Axelrod

 

Obama has done a lousy job, and honest people from both sides of the aisle are realizing it. In a couple of months, we all should realize the likely outcome of the election. In the fall of 08, it was obvious that B. Hussein Obama was going to win, and that's when the stockmarket started going down.

We gotta get that idiot out of office if we want to survive as a free nation.

 

Wait a minute! obama was a good community organizer and assisted ACORN in voter fraud very well. And he showed up for a lot of votes in Congress, his record of voting "present" proves that.

 

It's gonna be fun! We can already see the libs scattering like a bunch of cockroaches that have he light of truth shone on them.

 

It's still Bush's baby. 'Course, Bush didn't actually sign pink slips.

 

No, that will only show that the right has been successful in tricking the voters into thinking it's all Obama and the Dems fault. Not to say they don't share some of the blame, but trying to pin it all on them is ludicrous and dishonest.

 

You are full of ----. Yes, oboobma did follow the worst president ever (oboobma is second worst). But he has done nothing helpful and doesnt even have any good ideas, Romney will thump him and get the country on the right path.

 

There are more parallels to draw between Bush and Obama.

 

Both can share the blame for CAUSING asinine laws that brought about the fiscal/housing crisis. Democrats and obama get 100% of the blame for not fixing the problem. They tried the Stimulus in Feb 2009. And they have not tried ANYTHING ELSE since. The Stimulus FAILED. What did b.o. and Dems do????? They tried more Stimulus, over and over. They get 100% blame for not scrapping a clearly failed policy and trying something else. LIKE the president debt commission GAVE b.o. in Dec 2010. Other options were/ARE available, they refuse to consider anything but their failed first policy. Stupid, inept, incompetent, nearly criminal, and deserving of total blame.

 

Bush was a fairly good president considering he was following Clinton who caused the Iraq War and started the economic slide. Bush made mistakes, but was far from the worst president. Obama easily wins that title.

 

So now it's Clinton who caused the Iraq war, is it?

I have to admit, that's a new one.

 

Not new if you remember the 90s. Clinton refused to take Bin Laden when offered to him, he was weak on illegal immigration and terrorist activities, and he weakened our military all contributing to giving terrorists the idea that we were a soft target, and we were.

 

Fair enough, I can accept the argument that Clinton could have stopped Bin laden and prevented 9/11. But, none of those things have anything to do with Iraq because Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11.

So the Democrats were NEVER in favor of a war with Iraq?
