You seem to have forgotten when President Barack Obama took office, the economy was in freefall. We were losing 750,000 jobs a month, thanks to Republican policies.
But hey, go ahead and put it on Obama. It's his fault cause he's a socialist.
Yeah, you are right. The democrats were nowhere to be seen. Republicans had an almost veto proof majority in both houses of congress (where spending occurs).
Oh wait, that isn't true. Democrats controlled both houses of congress...so the freefall is at least 50-66% democrat fault, right? Or if reps control anything it becomes their fault.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

The Big Lies of Mitt Romney V: Obama Had A Super-Majority In Congress For Two Years
This stood out to me in "The Lies of Mitt Romney III":
"we remember the president’s own party had a super majority in both houses for his first two years"
I'm not sure how Romney defines a super majority, but my recollection was that the Dems only had a filibuster-proof majority (including two independents) from the time that Al Franken was finally seated (July 7, 2009) until the point that Teddy Kennedy passed away (August 25, 2009). That's only seven weeks, not two years.
And there was never a supermajority in the House as Romney claims. The balance at the start of the Congress was 257 - 178, which is a Democratic share of only 59 percent, not 67. So again, Romney simply lied. Obama never had a super majority in both Houses, let alone for two years. In the Senate, his super-majority lasted seven weeks.

I used your numbers. It wasn't a supermajority past 7 weeks, but it was still VERY CLOSE, and a overwhelming majority in both houses of congress, which means the democrats are somewhere between 50% and 66% at fault for that economy, depending on how much credit you give the president for the economy.
Accept the fact that the democrat politicians are just as much at fault as Bush.

I accept the fact that your claim that the Dems had a "supermajority for 2 years" is a lie, and the truth is that it was EXACTLY 50 days, (7 weeks, 1 day)....Period.
