Why the quotation marks? Are we questioning his pigment as well?

Not at all actually. I just don't like saying black because their skin color isn't truly black and I don't say African American because although their ancestors are of decent they necessarily are not.

Extremely good point. Doesn't matter who is in office... people just like to blame everything on the current president ESPECIALLY this one because he's "black" no one mentions the 8 years that we just went through that happened to be some of the worst since the Great Depression...

I dont know what youre definition of a bad economy is but the 8 years under GW Bush were very good, the fall of 2001 notwithstanding for obvious reasons.

I definitely respect your opinion. I personally don't take sides but there is a lot of info out there that suggests over 60% of historians rank bush as one of the worst presidents and globally the peoples poll puts him in the top 15 worst...I realize i really cant base any of this off of stone cold "facts" just Internet bs with biased media lol

Any historian that feels they can conclusively place any president's role in our 200+ year history with only six years behind them isn't a historian -- they're a hack.

So taxpayers are indentured servants?

Why gosh no!

We've just created a system that if you want to earn a living for your family, you have to surrender up to 50% of it to someone you've never met first, or face giving up your personal freedom.

That doesn't sound like servitude to me at all.

People assume they were good but most people were spending money and equity they didnt have ie the housing refi boom. Under his watch he allowed the housing industry against the advice of many experts to go unchecked and he housing market to become rediculously inflated which in turn made refi's extremely popular. Why wait and save for that new car, vacation, ect when all u have to do is sign this and well give $30000 cash. Dont worry bout tomorrow only today. Thats he american way. He got us into the depression and obama is extremely unpopular b coz he had to do many of the unpopular things necessary to get us out of that mess on top of a costly unprepared unnecessary war that sucked trillions and trillions of dollars that could have been used domestically

yea and the 1990s was fueled by the tech "bubble" that burst into a recession itself. A good economy is still a good economy no matter what the aftermath.

We get a recession about once every decade if you havent noticed. good times are good times, then a recession. Doesnt discount the good times in between.

That would depend on what side of the economic divide you are. The gap in real wealth between the top 10% and the remaining 90% has grown exponentially. The average person saw their real wealth decline at a precipitous rate in comparison to the top 10% during the recession. While these peoples wealth has been regained and is again rising the majority's wealth has stagnated if not declined. If you were to ask yourself the reagan question " are u better off than you were ten yrs ago" i would venture that the mass majority's reply would be hell no.
