Never said that. *But the history that counts starts today.

Cool! Guess that means I don't have to pay my car payment because I
didn't buy the car today?

Your thinking is flawed. What has happened in the past DOES have a
bearing on today. We're still spending money in Iraq, for instance.

Again, I never said anything about the past not having a bearing on
today. * You just falsely accuse me of that.
Obama ran for Prez to lead the economy, I hope.
It's Obama's economy now. *He's got plenty of slack cut for him.
You don't think GWB will make your car payments, do you?
Like I told Eisboch, when I lost my job because of the bad economy
during The Great Reagan Depression in 1982 - much worse than now BTW -

i was there too. that one was child's play compared to bush's fiasco

I didn't blame Jimmy Carter for that depression. *He was gone.
Eisboch wanted to blame Carter , because he was a sap for Ronnie
Raygun.
So to make that work, he had to defend Obama with Bush's sins.
I don't play that game. *There's only one decider at a time.
If things continue to get worse and you lose your job, good luck
blaming GWB. *He won't make your car payments, and you'll be looking
for Obama to get you back on your feet.

uh...no. what looking at history does is, hopefully, prevent you from
making the same mistake twice...like voting for a right wing president
who says 'trust the free market'.
