You mean that real estate bust that Democrats were part of? Maybe if Obama didn't spend so much time seeking a new job instead of accepting a paycheck for a job he didn't do, he would have been better prepared to take over. Obama's problem however is one experienced by most liberals,, lack of leadership skills.
Now I argue no president controls this. However, it is funny that you think the leap from 2008 to 2009 had nothing to do with what happened before obama became president.Bush lied by moving the decimal point. It was really 50% per year. :lol:
Keep ****ing that chicken, Conservative. It's pretty funny.

Please tell me what Congress does in your world?
I'm sure that I don't want to cite misleading statistics like you just did! Because that would mask the fact that unemployment was about 8% and soaring the day that Bush handed over the keys to Obama.
What's the old saying? Figures don't lie, but liars figure?
Nothing misleading about it. All came from monthly BLS unemployment data.
Do you dispute the numbers ???
Interesting, I don't see Bush unemployment numbers higher than Obama's.
Of course it's misleading. It suggests that Obama took over with a 5% unemployment rate, when in fact the rate was 8% and skyrocketing when he took over.
No, unemployment was NEVER 8% under Bush.
It was 7.8% in January, when Bush was still President, then rose to 8.2% in February, before Obama had time to unpack his bags. Figures/Liars/Liars/Figures

You need an overview? OK:
OverviewArticle I of the Constitution states "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process—legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers. However, the Constitution grants each chamber some unique powers. The Senate ratifies treaties and approves top presidential appointments while the House initiates revenue-raising bills. The House initiates impeachment cases, while the Senate decides impeachment cases.[2] A two-thirds vote of the Senate is required before an impeached person can be forcibly removed from office.[2]

Now, kindly point out where I lied, or I'll expect an apology.
YOU are the one that lied.
Why don't you admit who you are and what your political leanings are? Looks to me like you need the massive Federal Govt. that Obama proposes as well as the nanny state. Was/Is it that hard for you to compete in a private sector economy?
Most liberals here blame Bush for the economic conditions Obama says he inherited. By the definition Congress is an equal branch of the govt. with the President therefore no legislation and not one dime can be created or spent without Congressional approval therefore nothing Bush did was without Congressional approval. Liberals today continue to blame Bush and ignore Congressional responsibility. they also had overwhelming control of Congress when Obama took office therefore three years later the results are definitely Obama's
