Quick question
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 12:18 PM by dennis4868
Why do people who are otherwise very intelligent and competant people (and not very wealthy) blame Obama for the economic problems we have now and not Bush. I just had a conversation with someone who is usually a smart person and does not usually allow others tell them what to think, just tell me that all the economic problems are Obama's fault and stop blaming Bush. That things have gotten worse under Obama!

Update: I later was told that this person watches FOX News. :-( I guess we have no idea how dangerous FOX News is. They can make a ordinary reasonable and smart person think things that are simply not true. What do you do about these people. Do you try to convince them that they are being lied to by FOX or is it to late to "save" them? They are really not part of the fact based community anymore so maybe nothing can be done about them.

1. Tell them this
It actually is Clinton's fault. If he hadn't made the economy soar, it wouldn't have fallen so fast.

They'll love ya then.
