1. It wasn't called the "FDR Depression".

Fuck Corporate Media.

2. So idiotic. There is no way you can create a Great Recession in two years even if you work at it

24 hours a day. It's impossible. It took 8 years for bush and the GOP to do it!

7. they did it in 6, but Reagan laid the groundwork much earlier

[LeftishBrit]

10. And there is certainly no way..

that you can create a Great Recession that started several months before you took office!

3. Well they're half right.

I usually call it a depression. The economy is the worst it's been in my lifetime. I was just a kid during the recession of the early 80's, but I think this is worse. And nobody blamed that recession on Reagan; it was all Carter's fault. In fact, everything that went wrong during the 8 years of the Reagan administration was due to the 4 years of the Carter admin. Republicans always try to pull that shit. If things are turning bad, it's because rich people's taxes are too high. I hope people are beginning to see behind all that bullshit, but there's a lot of fear out there.

4. In his inauguration speech in January, 2009,

Why didn't Obama call it what it was, The Bush Depression? The Bush Depression label should have been used consistently by Obama and his appointees because that is what it is and was. How can anyone paying attention not be hugely dissapointed in Barack Obama? What the hell did we elect?

8. Because, technically, it wasn't a "depression" and Obama is (and was) too busy "playing nice" to...

...go for an easy political kill.

It's his fatal flaw as a politician: he routinely
refuses to seize and use winning moments.

Sheri S. Tepper, my favorite Sci-Fi author, has
written a number of stories where the leitmotif
is one or another group who are "too good to be
any good", that is, a group that will only "take
the high ground" and so can't muster what is needed
to truly confront and defeat obvious evil even if
they realize that their stance "on the high ground"
will lead to the death of their entire civilization.*

Obama is exactly such a person: too interested in
standing on the high ground to actually get down
in the mud and defeat the Republicans. And so we're
all losing in his inability to act with the needed
force.

5. CBS fired Dan Rather for telling the truth about the AWOL dictator.

That was the last time I tuned in. Just as bad as FOX, IMHO.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Even Romney had to walk back his "Obama made it worse comments" but CBS

gets to say the same thing without repercussions.


More proof that we have no liberal media in this country, just Conservative media, more Conservative media, Conservative propaganda and FOX news.

In other words, the economy is continuing to be worse, the Obama depression continues to explode,” he added.

9. Fuck CBS

:thumbsdown:

[B Calm]

11. 0 job growth under Bush and now we see a small job growth under Obama

and it's a DEPRESSION and Obama created it. . . . Corporate owned media spinning bullshit!

[fredamae]

12. Propagandist assholes

Does CBS want to challenge what WE See and experience out here? This crap will Not work. How stupid do they think We are?

[spanone]

13. are they filling in the murdoch void???

[TomClash]

14. This "story" is about a dumb as it gets nt

[obxhead]

15. I call it a depression and blame nearly everyone in government

and wall street for creating and continuing it.

Is Obama to blame alone? Absolutely not. Does he carry part of the blame for its continuation? Absolutely.

16. I guess somebody has to take up the slack for Rupert.

Poor old Katey bit the dust...Brian Williams and Chuck Todd are doing Rupert's GOPer ass smooching work on NBC. I come to DU for the news.
