Thread: When do most Presidents quit complaining about what they "inherited"...?

.... and start taking responsibility for the economy? Does this normally happen in the first term or second.... or never?

well obama was complaining before he won the election and will in the end say bush screwed it up to much for him to fix. because obama has such great ideas. yes lets fix a hang over by buying a distillery

Carter NEVER did quit complaining.

This is a school yard tactic that is used to prop yourself up by tearing your opponent down. The problem is that people who do this have a difficult time in presenting their view in a good or popular light and the only way they can get beyond it is by trying to put down others in order to raise themselves up. It would be like cutting down a tree to tell the world you are taller that a tree. It is silly, childish, and very immature. It has been a democrat trick since Carter took office. For the most part it works because most Americans lack the ability to recall anything more than about 6 months old. I blame the media and public education. Lets be real honest the most teachers in this country are reduced to babysitters. They don't get paid nearly enough, they have to deal with parents that are for the most part just as bad as their children, and then to top it all off they have no authority what so ever to discipline these kids when they do act up. You don't really expect the parents to raise their children do you?

Obama is going to use every excuse he can for as long as he can, and his followers are not the brightest bulbs in the lamp and will just accept what ever he says as gospel.

As responsible American, everything Obama is doing is hurting me.

" its the economy, stupid"

How is this relevant, since the current president is trying from before day one?

Never their screwups are always someone elses fault. Prime example Bill Clinton.

You know I dont recall President Bush ever complaining about what Clinton left behind for him.

Probably never. Or not unless they are successful in what they do.

I think by 1988 Reagan was fairly pleased with with where the country was compared to its condition in 1980.
