Good job, George, you fucking speck of a human being.
You did such a bang-up job imploding our national economy that journalists and political observers have a name for it:

THE GREAT RECESSION.

This occurred under your watch, you brain trust.

THE GREAT RECESSION.

The possibility for us to reclaim the jobs lost under your amazing disaster of a presidency may take at least a decade.

THE GREAT RECESSION.

As a member of Generation X, who will be the first generation to do worse than their American predecessors since WW2, let me be the first to suggest:

TAKE YOUR GREAT RECESSION AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.


Thank you,

~Writer~

3. It just seems to skip all those "fiscally responsible" Republicans
and forces us to do their damn job for them.

4. I get sick when I see people blaming the economy's ills on President Obama
He and his administration have done a great job pulling us out of the Repub Recession and on the path to recovery.

5. Aw,come on Gen Xer----you'll survive. I was born in the worst
year of The Great Depression and I survived.

I spent the first 50 years of my life sacrificing and "doing without".

6. At least you have a perspective of true sacrifice that others do not.
Our generation has it no where near as bad as those who lived during the Great Depression, but what we're seeing is that hard work and education no longer mean anything. The dream is completely out of our reach. And then they called us slackers... and cynics... HELLO???

12. No shit, right
We see that we need a master's degree to keep up with our father's salary when he is a mechanic, then realize that with the price of real estate today compared to 1972 we still do not keep up.......and we are slackers for looking for jobs that leave us the maximum of free time, living for ourselves, and not living for work.

7. His mark is made and the nation is scarred.
What lies in the wake of his rule is the undoing of a century's civil progress which was accomplished in less than a tenth of the time it took to build. This over aged adolescent will likely look back on his misdeeds and snicker about how he did it with E's.

Education
Environment
Employment
Economy
Elective process

And lastly what he Excels at: failing at Everything.

For those interested in a numerical assessment of the scope of Bozo's failures, see the Center for Public Integrity and check out the 'Broken Government' project. I've read through it a dozen times and it still takes my breath away.

Thanx Writer for allowing me this much needed opportunity to vent. I'll never be able to contain my disdain for the criminal enterprise that has displayed such blatant disregard for the well being of a planetary public, as well as robbing those he appointed himself to lead.

14. government is supposed to oversee industries like banking.
But Republicans believe that business must be allowed to run freely to thrive. So it was a policy of "hands-off" for eight years.
