it took eight years for bush to wreck the economy and you guys expect obama to fix it in a couple of years--sorry it doesnt work that way

It is pretty much a waste of time to argue with Rush Limbaugh or in this case ,folks of a similar mindset but I guess if it didn't entertain us we wouldn't be reading these posts... I'm not an Obama fan either but not for what he has done while in office, I personally believe he is a muslim and I don't believe that is good for our country... The only president I have liked is Clinton but I do believe Reagan was a patriot in that he actually believed allowing the rich to keep a larger part of their income would result in them investing it in out country, The only thing it caused was them growing deeper pockets... The present commander-in-chief is no different than a long line of those guys that seem to always take the easy way out in that passing the buck to the next guy is par for the course... Raising the debt ceiling seems to be the answer for the problems of most of the presidents in the last 50 or 60 years because anything else wouldn't be a wise re-election decision... I really did think George Bush junior was a complete idiot for the decision to go into Iraq,there are some military actions that are necessary but that one seemed to be an ego trip for him personally.
