Meanwhile, Japan is desperate for people to have children to save theirs...

Pelosi is an absolute ass with no understanding of the "real" world that most Americans live in.
This gets my vote for the cover of "President Hussein Obamas' Official Guide to Marriage and Family in the United States"
And for those who insist that government spending is counter productive by definition, I'll throw you a bone by hoping that the stimulus is aimed at projects more likely to return a benefit in the long run...that probably excludes free condoms. ;)
Just when do we no longer have to call it the Bush Recession?
I mean, yes, we did call the recession that kicked in after Bush succeeded Clinton, the Clinton Recession. But, it wasn't permanently called that. It was only till it didn't make sense any more.
So FOR NOW, I'm OK with calling it the Bush recession. Kinda
When does Obama take ownership? Bush did in August. Look it up.
So, when? And if his policies fail (as they will since they are just Government Pork and Spend) when does the great depression that follows become his? IS it OK to start calling it the Obama Depression since is about to preside over the greatest downturn since the 30's. He has defacto been calling the shots since mid November (one president at a time my foot).
All I want is a date when we are free to call it what it already really is,
The OBAMA DEPRESSION!
The OBAMA DEPRESSION![/quote]
That date is now. As a good Democrat once said, "The Buck Stops Here!". In effect we hired him to fix the problem through "Hope and Change" taking blame or credit is the payoff. It all yours buddy! Welcome to leadership! You are now responsible for all that the economy does or does not do!
OLD PROVERB: Be careful what you wish for, you may get it!
This bush recession will always be his recession, unless it turns into a depression and then it will be called the bush depression.
I don't make the rules. I just educate conservative bloggers about them.
"The Buck Stops Here."
So, four, eight or longer it is the Bush recession?
No blame for Congress?
Obama was in office and his policies helped to bring about the recession. It is just as much his recession as it was Bush's. Aside from that, Obama is the man. As the military told me in leadership school you are responsible for everything your unit does or does not do. FROM DAY ONE! I'll cut him a bit of slack but it is his recession. After all, he asked us to hire him so he could fix it so he must have wanted the responsiblity.
Oh this won't sit well with The 108.

GiA, Jeff Sessions was in office and his policies helped to bring about the recession. Is it just as much his recession as it is bush's.
Did "the military" tell you that you were responsible for everything your unit did or did not do before day one?
You miss the point Bob, once again. Yes, Jeff Sessions is to blame for the recession. THEY ALL ARE! They, Congress are an equal branch. THEY ARE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE AS BUSH. They voted on the policies, they approved them and they get the blame too. Obama was in the government. Granted he didn't do much but he was there. The military I was in (no need for scare quotes BOB I can prove it with a DD214) would blame you if you were a squad leader and then got promoted to platoon sgt of you own platoon because you were there and had a hand in the policies that caused you to fail. Guess what, as the guy's running Congress for the past two yeard Democrats deserve as much blame for the recession as Bush. If you can't see that nothing I say will help you.
The bush recession started a year ago. President Obama inherited a bush recession and Gawd forbid bush screwed things up so badly that we sink into a depression.
We are fortunate that he is out of office.
OK, Little economic history.
When GWB was elected the first time, [url=http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/charts/chartdl.aspx?D4=1&DD=1&D5=0&DCS=2&MA0=0&MA1=0&CF=1&showchartbt=Redraw+chart&symbol;=$indu&nocookie=1&SZ=0&CP=0&PT=10]the market was in a slide.[/url] That continued until the TAX CUTS took effect and the market recovered. Therefore, according to your rules, the tanking of the market that went on for two years after Clinton ended, we should have properly called it the Clinton Recession.
Then who's name is on the resurgence. The uptick. The boom we had up till October of 2007, up until the market was about 6000 points above where it is right now?
Can we call them the Boom Years under the Economic Leadership of GWB? Goose and Gander here.
AND what if we have an uptick in the market, say a couple thousand points in the next few months. Optimism returns.
Bush or Obama. And then if it again tanks, who owns that?
Just want to get the rules straight. It's a lot like B Ball.

Clinton had already ruined the economy when GWB took over.
Who said that? Bush is to blame for the recession. Congress is to blame for the recession. That doesn't negate my point. The recession is all Democrats now. They campaigned on fixing the problem. They asked for ownership, it is now theirs. Think of it this way, if you buy a bankrupt company and it still goes bankrupt it is your fault too.
Did you enjoy the phenomenal economic uptick during the Clinton years?
Those years might have been the 1rst or 2nd longest period of economic growth our great country has ever seen.

Congress???
You two need to chat a bit. If congress is to blame...which party controlled congress at the end of Clinton's second term which as GiA claims is responsible for the Dept. of Recessions.
If President Barack Hussein Obama is successful and somehow leads us out of the bush recession, he will get all the credit. If he fails to undo the bush recession, he will be labeled as the guy who couldn't lead us out of the bush recession.
[quote]e will be labeled as the guy who couldn't lead us out of the bush recession[/quote]
In other words, a failure.
[quote]You two need to chat a bit. If congress is to blame...which party controlled congress at the end of Clinton's second term which as GiA claims is responsible for the Dept. of Recessions.[/quote]
Yes they (the republican congress) is to blame for the Clinton resession too. You know they are an equal branch of the government that has to approve the Presidents policies too, right? Equal responsibility in the government=equal responsibility in the blame for the governments messes
Your logic is... sub par. We are to believe that because the Dems won the election, the recession is now 'theirs' in any rhetorical manner you tarts can brandish? Heh. Are you making all the rules in this thread? Man its easy to sound bright when you make up bullshit rules to ply your bullshit logic. Try again, friend.
Hell Sparkie, you do this in every thread you are in. I thought I would try it out. Sub par logic. I just said that since congress was an equal branch of the government then this recesssion is their too. I then said that since Obama was a member of congress he is to blame for the recession too. Finally I said that since he (as a congressman) and since he asked for the opportunity to fix the problem it is now his recession by reason that he helped cause it and he wants ownership for fixing it. How is that sub par? Because you want to blame Bush and only Bush? Looks like someone else is making up the rules and brandishing some tarts. Please point out were I am wrong. This will be a good one, first explain why the Democrat congress gets a pass on the recession. THEY control sending, both in amount and what programs receive funding. They also regulate the banking system. Please show me where Democrats tried to regulate Freddie May and Fannie Mac. I would love to see that. You can't do that so I am again talking to a tree or maybe brandishing tarts and making up my own rules.
Still waiting for someone to tell me why this recession belongs to Bush alone.
Starting with Clinton, right through Fanni Mae and Freddi Mac. The Republicans were stupid not to run a closer audit of the Democrats. So here we sit.
That cunny Pelosi deserves thorny barbed dick beasts to bone her from a-hole to eye socket in hell.
Don't forget to mention that. I guess you don't like it cause he had a majority in house and senate, so its hard to come up with a scapegoat for his idiocy.
Clinton is a bit trickery to solo out because he shared power with the Republicans. And much of that fiscal policy was set by the Republicans, not by him.
I might actually agree with RBB on this one, but you're just applying the same logic to Obama that he did to every Republican presidency.
What's good for the goose...

Cut food stamps and cut federal emergency funds to states so that states have to make tough decisions. Let people begin to feel a pinch and they'll think before they act. They can learn to behave more responsibly with the right motivation.
