The Dow has gone up 50% since Obama has taken office, but we won't hear anything about that will we. Unemployment was also higher at this point in your God, Ronald Reagan's presidency than it is in Obama's. Keep listening to Faux News, while Red continues to shred you on everything.
to the extent that bush spent money and didnt lower taxes, it is his fault. same thing with obama. it is certainly true that obama is spendig like a lunatic and no doubt that makes him terrible. if we want to argue that one party, or bush, is superior, we should argue foreign polcy, where bush has been almost impossibly good. but on the economy, both parties pretty much do everthing they can to wreck it. with the the notable exception of the bush tax cuts, which are genius.
There are multiple lines of evidence, as I pointed out and Supa backed up. The recession is over, the market is climbing, the Iraq war is essentially over, the banks have paid back, even GM and AIG are starting to pay back. Unemployment has always been a lagging indicator and much of the current deficit is still caused by Bush unfunded mandates line No CHild and Medicare Insurance and the two wars.
