Let's put this another way, OK, rog ? Obama COULD have killed the excess spending from the Bush administration. But instead he continued it. And claimed it as his own.

That's politics. You can't blame the previous administration for something and then take credit for the same thing...... eh, well, I guess they do it all the dang time, but it still doesn't make any sense.

The right will decry all the excess spending as Obama's liberal, socialist policies. Then, when the economy recovers, they will credit GW's decisive action (i.e. spending, which they blamed on Obama) before he left office for the recovery.

The left will do the opposite. C'est la vie, non?

Obama's legacy will be that any unemployment rate under 10% will be heralded as success. We will be told to get used it because that is the new world order. We'll just be like Europe where low double digit unemployment has been the norm and nobody complains about it.

This is something you have mentioned before, not sure why you are repeating it.

As I believe I replied the last time we do complain about unemployment. Also I'm not sure where you get your information from. In 2009 double digit unemployment happened in Spain and some Eastern European countries but the norm in the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Holland Portugal, Sweden and others for the last five years has been below 10%. Admittedly some have been above the rate in the USA but double figures being the norm is false.

Oh, and is this where you bring in some strange line about the electrics in 40 year old cars as being a reason to ignore the truth as you have done previously?

Well, admittedly those things do break. By coincidence, I installed a new starter solenoid in my 39 year old car last night. What a piece of junk...you'd think it would have lasted at least 50 years without failing.
