Just so you know, there is no such thing as a true capitalist. It is just as flawed to have a complete capitalistic government as it would be to have a communist government. Certain things just can not be held by the private sector because a great deal of times, they fear huge risks.
He is stating that when comparing Bush to Obama polls, you must realize that Obama inherited a problem directly from the last presidency. He is not playing blame games, just being more fair.
Big businesses are sitting on the sidelines because they can't get what they want when democrats are in power, that is because they are selfish and uncertain about the future.
You said blame games are getting old, yet you blamied democrats for this situation in the same post.
If you didn't realize, we aren't recovering fast enough thanks to political gridlock, not because Obama. The USA's credit status decreased only because of political gridlocks, not because of the debt itself.
Lots of people repeat this same thing I am about to say; if the republicans and democrats stop playing politics, we could have had many things done so far.
While the housing bubble was a great part of it, so was decreasing taxes and going into two wars at the same time.
He doubled the debt? lol doubled the debt dude? we were at 12 trillion before he went to office, we then hit 14 trillion afterwards. I don't see how that is doubling the debt.... We already had a trillion dollar deficit when he came into office according to some statistics. He also put Bush's unfunded wars into the debt effectively making it seem he increased the debt more than he really did.(

I also think the health care reform is put into the debt as well, something that was necessary. Unfortunately we couldn't get the health care Canada and UK has. A person's health should in no way be decided by some people looking to make a profit.
