I agree, the Bush recession has devastated America. President. As president, Obama has limitations for what he can do to fix things, especially with a GOP House that won't pass jobs bills or other measures designed to help repair the Bush damage.

I am much better off than when Bush was in office, especially towards the end of this term. America is much better off, too.

The Dems in Congress caused the recession, and Owebummer, Biden, and Sillary were part of it.

Mensa Aura, you continue to astound with your sheer willful ignorance. Lets start with the "Bush recession." Obama has been in office for almost four years. Everything he's done has not improved the economy, only worsened our state. For that alone he should lose his job. It is called accepting responsibility. Second, the House has submitted in excess of 25 jobs bills to the Senate. How many has the Senate passed (the Democrat-controlled Senate)? Zero. Now,tell us how it's the House's fault again.

What your last two sentences display is simply willful ignorance devoid of reality.
