Vice President Joe Biden says its time to stop blaming George W. Bush for the economy and time to start blaming Barack Obama. During an interview on Florida radio station WLRN, Biden admits that the 2012 elections will be a referendum on the Obama administration and its handling of the U.S. economy. Immediately, the White House went into full spin mode with Jay Carney saying that the 2012 elections will be based on the record, which he claims is one of saving the economy from another Great Depression. But as Tom Clancy put it in one of his Jack Ryan novels, you cannot defuse a bomb after it explodes, and Biden has just tossed his boss, and himself, under the bus.
Joe Biden has always been a loose cannon on the deck. He averages at least one good gaffe a week and a serious one causing the White House to back-peddle about once every three months. For the past 31 months or so, Obama has been maintaining a steady drumbeat of casting blame for the economy on a wide range of people and events, such as the Japanese earthquake, blizzards in New York and New Jersey, ATM machines, the Tea Party and, of course, George W. Bush. Meanwhile, nearly his entire original staff of economists and advisers have departed, deserting Obama as the economy continues to stagnate with high unemployment, low growth and much uncertainty.
I suppose that Joe Biden cannot help himself but to be honest on occasion. His admission on Florida′s WLRN radio station yesterday that we should blame Barack Obama for the lousy economy is refreshing. High time that somebody in the Obama administration man-up and take responsibility. Joe Biden acknowledges that about half the country still blames George W. Bush, but Biden says that just because the financial collapse happened during the Bush administration, that fact is now irrelevant. Barack Obama now owns the economy and should be judged in November 2012 for his handling of it. Atta-Boy, Joe!

They ain’t been no “steady drumbeat” from the Black House blaming the economy on other things. Just the opposite is true. Google it, and read what the Pres. has said.
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. This is all we get from Andrew.
He a liar.

I think poor Klo has finally gone totally off the edge. Defending Obama 24/7 has made Klo deranged.

Ghost of Klo is a liberal as is the google search engine on political matters. Klo is out to discredit the truth because it hurts liberal power over the masses. I do not care how anger you get over this message the truth is the truth and you would not acknowledge it if it hit you in the face. Bush was never ever the cause for the dive of the economy. Policies set by Carter and Clinton were. Bush set policies to protect us from terrorist and did over look the banking policies. Once Bush’s adminstration saw warning signals of a melt down he sound the alarm to congress and the Democratic congress said Bush was crazy. Did you ever see the tape of Maxine Waters on CNN tell Bush’s aid he did not know what he was talking about? Look up the real history under non bias media. No matter how hard this administration tries to hide the truth, it surfaced from it’s own camp. Biden was speeking with out a scripe and the truth popped out. When name calling occurs (by the left) it means the left is loosing the arguement. Facts are Facts. Take the time to read and learn. Use your logical mind and not you emotions that the Democrats, the Media, and Left are controlling. Be your own person not a Stalin Useful Idiot.

Hes used to work as a dishwasher for me.
I had to fire him because none of our whipped cream cans ever had any gas in them.

We ran out of pasta so he broke all the noodles in half and said;
“there, now you’ve got twice as much as you started with”

Google is a liberal search engine?
You’re kidding me right?
A “search” engine is an algorithm, merely a mathematical formula that assesses word content, metatags and links to other sites.
Google’s main focus is to present the most effective results as it is in a competitive market. Additionally, they are driven by ad rates for the sponsored links on the top and right.
The algorithm has no bias and also changes every few weeks. That is how Google initially gained a competitive advantage.
This whole mainstream liberal paranoia has really gotten out of hand.
All political views are easily accessible and available.
Hard to find right wing views on your radio, TV, newspapers (the new Wall Street Journal anyone?) magazines or the Internet?
This incredible bias that rules the media and makes conservative views unavailable is simply nonsense.
Google returns liberal results? Um, why would they do that.
Very simply, they return results that generate the most money.
