It's the BOOOOSH Depression, IDIOT. Ay caramba. The only way the gov't has gotten bigger is spending to keep the victims going homeless or bankrupt....
Idiot the recession ended in 2009 anything after that is obama's.
Course he hasn't been able to pass anything since 2/2010...and the housing market Booosh destroyed hasn't recovered YET.

We the People of the United States elected President Barack Obama by a two to one margin and intend to do it again
A 4 percentage point win is not a 2 to one margin.

Why? Because you bring up interesting and stuff, and I make sure you get it right.
Think of me as you and other extremists' Quality Control officer.
If you don't get it right, I fail it.

I'm reading the posts going back and forth on the current state of our economy and both sides are wrong.
George Bush did not create the problem. Obama is not continuing the problem. We, the American people, created the problem.
The housing market collapsed because banks were greedy and borrowers were stupid. Everyone wanted to jump in and get a piece of the pie and no one was bothering to wonder how it was going to be supported. All you had to do was look back into recent history and know that the bubble was going to burst, but no one did. That it was going to burst was obvious, it was only a question of when.
When that went, the rest of the economy went with it. And so the presidents, then Bush and afterward Obama, both took the only course available to them. Theystarted putting out money to try and shore up the damage. To try and keep us out of a complete collapse. And it worked. Of course it cost lots of money. If the roof blows off your house, you have to fix it even if it is not free. You don't just leave it alone and hope to god it doesn't rain.
What we are seeing now is just the blame game. However, the one group of people who is truly to blame is the one group no one is blaming. That is us. It was our fault. We did it to ourselves. But we sit around pointing fingers at everyone but ourselves and the politicians are using our refusal to accept responsibility to their best advantage.
People would not have gotten in over their heads financially if the banks had used due diligence. The banks would not have made bad loans if the people had used some common sense. We did it to ourselves. The purpose of the government is to provide essential services for the operation of our society. It is not there to act as our nanny so we don't do anything stupid. It isn't there to make our decisions for us. Freedom to act carries with it the freedom to fail. If you truly want that freedom, then accept the responsibility for your failure and stop looking for scapegoats.

I believe the reference is to the electoral college, which actually elects the president. In 2008, McCain got 173 votes to Obama's 365 votes. A 2 to 1 margin.
Jake, after he takes off his make up.Fact: those who follow Hannitty, Beck, and Limbaugh and the rest of the crazies will have no power whatsoever in a Romney administration. Their bad old days will be over forever.

It wasn't Bush who destroyed the housing market, it was the Dem's who refused to Regulate Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac who used improper hedge accounting with regards to treasuries.

There has always been connotation in elections that votes cast by the public and electoral votes are distinguished from each other.
Deny it if you want but instead why don't you just strive for accuracy and clarity.
