[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Let me see, unemployment is out if control, welfare recipients are up, the deficit has skyrocketed, etc all in the last 4 years and we are still blaming Bush?  While I can freely admit he was not our greatest President (not the worst but not stellar either), the left is unwilling to acknowledge the failures if our current leader and his policies.  It is disingenuous to keep pointing the finger backwards. [/quote]

Sorry, but you are being disingenuous. The posts above were not "blaming Bush", but pointing out that while we may be having a slow recovery, we are having a recovery. In order to have a recovery, you have to have something from which to recover. In this case, we are recovering from a recession that occurred on Bush's watch. Personally, I do blame Bush for that. If you can find someone else to blame, then by all means, go for it. But, if you want to complain about the speed of the recovery, you should be pretty clear about what we are recovering from.

[b]BTW, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is nearing it's all time high. The S & P 500 closed higher than anytime since 2007. The NASDEQ is near its all-time high. Obama sucks as a socialist.[/b]

Absolutely love this argument, that the market is roaring!!  You are the same people that would rather see Wall Street traders  arrested and shut down and corporate profits returned to the masses.

Oh wait, millions of Americans also benefit from those same gains, how could we forget.

Hypocrisy at its finest. [/quote]

Not hypocrisy at all.

I didn't make any value judgement about the market. I don't understand why posters like you hate it when I point out simple facts. My statement about the stock market is true. If, for reasons I can't begin to understand, you think my statement was false, then make your argument. I can't wait to hear it. It is also a statement of fact that a socialist would have no interest in seeing the stock market reach historic highs. A president who was a staunch enemy of Wall Street would not implement policies to encourage reaching such highs. Either Obama is a very incompetent socialist, or he is not a socialist at all.

As to whether the stock market being at these levels is good or bad, that is a matter of opinion. I did not state an opinion about that.

Now, what I am going to say employs something known as "nuance". You may not be familiar with the term and may want to employ something called a "dictionary" to help you understand its meaning. But, I can wish that those responsible for crashing the economy had been pursued by our Department of Justice with the same vigor with which it went after Aaron Swartz while simultaneously pointing out the fact that the stock market is reaching historic highs. Believing the first (which is an opinion) no way negates the second (which is fact).

But, while we are on the topic, assuming that you agree that the market is doing very well, are you willing to give Obama some credit in that regard?
