Biden: Voters should blame Obama, not Bush, for economy

“Right now, understandably — totally legitimate — this is a referendum on Obama and Biden and the nature of the state of the economy,” Biden said.

Polls indicating that more Americans blame Bush for the economy than Obama are not relevant, Biden said.

“Even though fifty-some percent of the American people think that the economy tanked because of the last administration, that’s not relevant,” Biden stressed. “What’s relevant is we’re in charge. And right now we are the ones in charge and it’s gotten better, but it hasn’t gotten good enough.”

“I don’t blame them for being mad. We’re in charge,” Biden explained.

at least biden is honest.

 

[leaningright]

That gets him some points from me. When's the last time a politician has taken a stab at taking responsibility?

 

[Onceler]

It's certainly honorable, but it's not necessarily "honest."

Unless you think, like bravo, that Obama caused the crash.

What's not honest about him saying we're in charge and it hasn't gotten good enough?

I don't think he is suggesting that Obama was responsible for the crash. He was stating that they are in charge of/responsible for the economy NOW. Meaning that it is on them if the economy does not improve.

Biden leading off with 'over 50% believe Bush is responsible for the crash'... pretty much gives that away.

Thats not opinion onecell, thats history....thats fact....

I should have made it clear is was Democrats and not personally Obama....

Obama's policies have made things worse, unless you think, like the leftist media propaganda that it's all Bush's fault. Biden is being honest for once.

No president caused the crash, that was inevitable. However, the next election is about how the president dealt with what he was dealt. It's on Obama and Biden is correct.

let's be fair...it's Biden....there's a fifty fifty chance he meant to say something completely different.....

A lefty claiming Biden isn't honest? What in the hell is this world coming to.....

 

[Onceler]

Sorry, Yurtsie - missed this! How is it not "relevant" that the economy tanked w/ the last admin? Maybe it's not to him. To the economy, I'd say it's exceedingly relevant.

I'd love to see the argument that it isn't.

 

[Onceler]

It's fact that Obama caused the crash?

Again, bravs - I'd like to hear you expound on that a little more.

Like I said, it's honorable that he thinks what happened under the previous admin isn't relevant. I wouldn't call it "honest," because what happened under the previous admin is extremely relevant to the current state of the economy. From 8 years of fiscal irresponsibilty, to tunnel vision on 2 expensive wars, to spending bills that broke the bank...those actions & also a great deal of inaction & inattentiveness put this country into a major hole.

We're at a point now where I believe the gov't can't really do that much to affect things. The stimulus probably should have been twice as big, but you can forget about that now. And I never expected even that to "fix" anything; the hope there was that it would create enough hiring to instill some confidence in the private sector. But new reports this week show that companies are still reluctant to hire.

Confidence is the biggest problem. The crash of '08 undermined both consumer & corporate confidence to a point that we haven't seen in decades. So, to be "honest" - it is very relevant to the current situation, regardless of what Biden says.

Um, yeah - what's your point? I didn't see this, & when I did, responded to it.

Do you think ol' bravs hasn't seen my questions to him? Also, I take it you support his continuing claim that Obama was responsible for the '08 crash?

you ASSume too much. your logical dumb, you believe that if someone doesn't get into the middle of some argument you're having with someone else, then they must support that belief. why aren't you "asking" if damo or mott support bravo?

fucking idiot.
