I find it all amusing that cons want us to forget Dubya cuz Dubya's not running, and then they wanna go back to how we were 4 yearas ago...which brings Dubya into this campaign.

It's worth another chuckle to see the poll question asked about deserving a second term when the question wasn't "who is more deserving of the presidency, Obama or Romney?"  No man deserves the presidency; which candidate has earned the next term is the question.  Facts:

1) Obama spent the last 4 years working on a problem that took 8 years of Republican rule to create. Did he work on it? Yes.

2) Romney is of the party of the previous 8 years that took the entirety of that 8 year period to wreck the economy AND he didn't have any answers to help Dubya rescue the economy 4 years ago.  Did he work on the problem the last 4 years when Obama called for "all hands of both parties on deck"? No--if he has the answers, he held out on America for the last 4 years, so the answer to the question "was he working on it?" is a resounding NOT ONLY NO, BUT HELL NO.  Romney's got nothing for America.

I'll concede FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT that Dubya is 100% responsible for the economic mess extant on January 20, 2009.  Therefore.... WHAT??

Therefore your statement is still incorrect. Dubya's PARTY is 100% responsible for the economic mess we're in and his PARTY dug that hole for 8 years while you're claiming he failed although he's had only 4 years to dig out of an 8 year hole.

O got four years to work on the mess before he gets graded on the effort.  He hasn't done the job. 

Nobody can dig out of an 8 year hole in 4 years, but a lot of that 8 year hole began with the Gingrich Revolution during the Clinton years. Contrary to what Limbaugh tells you, Obama is NOT magic.

Better, more rational economic policies would have induced a more normal recovery.  Instead, O chose to go the class warfare route which, judging from the comments here and at lincoln's, must feel awfully damned good.  [If you have a job!]

But that's not what Obama did. Providing health care laws that covers women's health better saves costs and the whole deal is that cons turned an economic concern into a "class warfare" AND a "war on religion" stinkbomb, which is why the GOP's got the label "war on women" on it and it's sticking.
