Who is to blame?
Some Americans blame President Obama for our nation”s problems. Two decades after Social Security was initiated, the fund, from employee”s contributions with minimal withdrawals, skyrocketed. Politicians began robbing that fund. They called it “borrowing” knowing darn well they had no intentions of paying it back. Was Obama to blame for this?
The banking industry began four decades ago to loosen every requirement to entice Americans to purchase big fancy homes and big fancy cars they really could not afford. That included variable interest rates. Banks are currently under investigation for loan fraud.
Was Obama to blame for this?
Corporate America has moved millions of jobs out of our country for financial greed. Robotic automation replacing millions of workers in all industries. Corrupt insider Wall Street trading by politicians for decades. Was Obama to blame for this?
President Bush inherited a huge surplus. Not giving a hoot about his homeland folks, he ordered two insane wars where different factions have been killing each other for centuries.
Trillions of tax dollars that should have been spent on America”s soil. After eight years, from surplus to gross debt. Was Obama to blame for this?
Reagan boosted the space program, again costing trillions of tax dollars. One of the current republican candidates wants to plant a base on the moon. Another wants to plant a man on mars.
That”s certainly going to help the finances for us earthlings. Again, presidents that would focus on spending tax dollars outside our homeland. I guess they will blame Obama for this.
Every step Obama has attempted to bring our nation out of the financial cesspool he inherited has been blocked for no reason other than personal political gain. A sizeable job increase in January and a drop in unemployment was met by republicans stating, “We can do better.”
Everything Obama does is wrong simply because he is a Democrat.
How pathetic.
And Bush wanted to teach those two countries about an honest and just government by the people for all the people.
The only thing that all republican candidates have been doing is condemn Obama.
The GM CEO stated that GM owes 100 percent of its highest profit ever to Obama. Republicans condemned that bailout plan. A lady in a recent letter to the Record-Bee said to keep Obama and get rid of Congress. Brilliant lady.
