"SNIP.............................................

An enlightening poll was released Thursday by CNN; A question was posed to those surveyed asking, “Do you think the policies of Barack Obama and the Democrats or George W. Bush and the Republicans are more responsible for the country’s current economic problems?”

54 percent of likely voters, think the George W. Bush, as well as Republicans are to blame for America’s flailing economy, in contrast to 38 percent blaming President Obama and Democrats.

A bit of optimism is brewing. This question was asked,”Now thinking about a year from now, do you expect economic conditions in this country will be – very good, somewhat good, somewhat poor, or very poor?”

68% of likely voters answered, ‘good’ in contrast to 27% answering, ‘bad.’

the economy did not crash in 2008

2008 is when wealthy people noticed there was a problem with the economy.

for the rest of us the economy was crashed long before 2008!

so they can try to hang this on President Obama but people who actually live in the struggle know the true story of a struggle.
