Poll: Voters Now Evenly Split On Blaming Bush Or Obama For Bad Economy…

I’m sure everyone who reads this site already knows this, but we’re looking at a huge turnaround. In July Bush was blamed over Obama by a whopping 2-1 ratio.

Via Rasmussen:

Voters now blame President Bush only slightly more than President Obama for the continuing bad economy. It’s the narrowest gap between the two in nearly 18 months.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a plurality (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters still say the nation’s current economic problems are caused more by the recession that began under Bush than by Obama’s policies. But now nearly as many (45%) blame Obama’s policies more.

    Agreed Moonstruck. But ya know the republitards never pound the message home w/the libtards. And the media does SUCK.

    Sidebar….Auuugggh! The Wookie is here and I can feel the ground shaking.

    Oh no, just in on the radio….Twinkies and Wonder Bread are filing for bankruptcy! Another classic company bites the dust. I love Twinkies and PBJ on Wonder Bread, staples of my childhood. Damn Obama. It is his FAULT, not Dubya’s.

    Was there a choice for “Ourselves, the American public, because we have no fiscal responsibility, leave beyond our means and fill our empty lives with unneeded material goods because we think it will bring contentment”?

    The fact that half of those surveyed blame Bush for the economic policies pursued by a democratic congress/senate, and further a braindead socialist puppet president… sad, sad indeed.

    Goes to show what Goebbels knew all along….the power of a liberal media, hand in hand with Hollywood and the unions to shape the publics’ consciousness (perception).

    Rasmussen is lying. They didn’t ask if people thought current economic problems are the result of what Bush did or what Obama is doing. They asked if current economic problems are the result of the recession or the result of Obama’s policies. Because the question specified that the recession began under Bush, Rasmussen took it upon themselves to assume that everyone who blamed the recession blamed Bush.

    I don’t agree with either.

    The bad economy is totally caused by islamo moslim anti-AMERICAN scum.

    Maybe the American public is losing its Kool-aid high for incompentence, if we are lucky we can get rid of the coruptocrats in the Senate alng with the incompetent President.

    The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
    Ronald Reagan

    Finally, it starts sinking into the heads of the thick skulled people. Hey, Obamas only been President for 3 years now. How could it be HIS fault? lol

    I’m glad to see that people are starting to realize this twit is not solving anything, he is destroying our country. It is sad that people give this creep such latitude and such grace, when everything he does is counter to what is good for America.

    ==============

    This is off topic, but I just finished reading about Obama’s gay background and life, and the fact that there are many ‘gay’ sitting Republicans in the House and the Senate, and they seem to have a covert agreement with the administration that they will get to keep their seats as long as they cooperate with Democrats when they need ‘bi-partisan’ favors.

    This is not acceptable. It would be really helpful if someone in the know on these people provided information for the rest of us so we can focus on getting these creeps out of government and getting ‘real’ conservatives elected.

    Everything that Bush did wrong such as OVERSPENDING, coddling ILLEGAL immigrants, War, regulation, and growing government, Obama did on heroine. And that fact that 3 years into Obama’s presidency, one single person still blames Bush is crazy. Yeah, let’s fix the economy and America by doing more of what got the US in trouble in the first place. It’s like people are not even paying attention to what is going on in this country.
