10.2% Unemployment

That has just been announced. I am sure glad this admin passed the stimulus. Because remember "if we do nothing unemployment will reach 8%"

Atlas is shrugging. But let's be sure we keep sticking it to the rich and taxing the heck out of corporations. Who needs a job in a socialist state anyway?

Thankyou George Bush and the irresponsible regulation and reckless and misplaced spending by the GOP-controlled Congress.

You have got to be joking, your guy go elected over a year ago. He owns this. His socialist policies have brought this on. And the GOP has not been in the majority in Congress since 2006.

And Obama's irresponsible spending and reckless and misplaced regulation by the Dem-controlled Congress. But one must admire the symmetry.

Please don't confuse LG with facts! He has a hard enough time remembering the Soros-MoveOn.org-HuffPo propaganda that he is expected to post on here.

He became president just over ten months ago. Were you asleep while we were careening into this economic abyss prior to that?

The GOP's spending was excessive but critically misplaced. Instead of shoring up things that would help avoid the mess we're in (such as giving teeth to the SEC) or spending where it would spur growth, we spend trillions on Republican pork projects.

Not saying the Democrats haven't done some of that spending, as well. They have, and should be equally criticized for it. But the greed, excesses, and outright chicanery we have seen in some quarters of our economy that really set this in motion is thankfully coming to an end. Will take some time to right the ship.

I don't know what I'd do if Obama could go one day without blaming Bush for his own failed policies.

The Dems have been in control of the Congress for almost 3 years now, and BO voted for almost every Bush economic measure. Can't blame Bush when you were going along with him with a majority Dem Congress.

you have really gone off the deep end critisizing republicans for pork projects after we just wasted $1 trillion on obama's buddies pork projects.
