Orszag: Blame the Next Two Years on Bush

Given that Reagan and Cons blamed Carter for the state of the Economy Ronnie assumed, why would it not in turn be applicable to do the same here? Oh yeah, you Cons are do as I say, not as I do people...

So were you screaming when the Stock Market plummeted after Reagan's inauguration and did not get back to that same level for a year???

Did I hear your anti American rants when unemployment was still 8.3% THREE years into Reagan's first term??

Did I hear your Al Qeada esque America bashing when Reagan accumulated more deficit than ALL PREVIOUS Presidents combined? For that matter when W and his father did the same thing?

What anti American rants would we be hearing from you if a Democrat had assumed a Budget surplus, as W did from Clinton, and turned it into a $3 Trillion + deficit?

Way to support America...BTW, a little history on what Obama walked into after 6 + years of the GOP majority in the White House, Senate and House!! You might even have some ability for attributing some of this to the Democrat controlled Congress in 2007 and 2008, except the GOP set new records for Filibusters in both years, so again the GOP put being Republican before being an American...


March 9 (Bloomberg) -- The value of global financial assets including stocks, bonds and currencies probably fell by more than $50 trillion in 2008, equivalent to a year of world gross domestic product, according to an Asian Development Bank report.
