But the recession was almost over by the time he took office — and officially over just six months after that.<br /><br />So while Obama's policies had little to do with bringing an end to the Great Recession, they've had everything to do with producing what is by far the worst economic recovery in the past 70 years.<br /><br />North Carolina, like most other states, is facing a shrinking tax base to generate revenue from. This can all be traced back to Obamanomics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-48851857899288276432011-06-04T14:21:34.189-04:002011-06-04T14:21:34.189-04:00The last paragraph sums up the Charlotte Observer&...The last paragraph sums up the Charlotte Observer's intelligence. There is plenty of blame to go around, but it is the NC Republican's fault.<br /><br />Let's don't mention the fact they inherited this mess from the Democrats that ran the state for 100+ years.<br /><br />It has to be the Republican's fault. No wonder no one takes the Charlotte Observer's Editorial staff seriously.<br /><br />Back to the story: I belieive the John Locke Foundation is saying we borrowed $100b ($1.3b) for education and we are in the same place we were two years ago. Why is it so hard for liberals to realize the system is broken? Fix the system and quit throwing money down the drain. Had we fixed it two years ago, maybe we would be better off today.UNCDubbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066966730841656475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-48951975064290061912011-06-04T08:22:03.080-04:002011-06-04T08:22:03.080-04:00Ronald Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter for practically ...Ronald Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter for practically everything during his first term. Republicans have blamed nearly everything that has happened in the past 3 years on Obama, so it's not like it doesn't go both ways. Besides, George W. Bush somehow avoided blame for 9/11 and evaded heavy scrutiny over Iraq and Afghanistan for years before public opinion shifted. Stop acting like victims.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281016657425508507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-32218940734257043862011-06-04T03:48:56.936-04:002011-06-04T03:48:56.936-04:00Would the Observer editorialize an objection if an...Would the Observer editorialize an objection if an analyst found that GWB was at fault?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850337248679255927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-29339613476676255142011-06-03T20:11:54.290-04:002011-06-03T20:11:54.290-04:00I know better than to take an Observer blogger ser...I know better than to take an Observer blogger seriously but this one takes the cake. <br /><br />Pointing fingers and passing out blame? What exactly do you think BHO has been doing for the past two years?<br /><br />Never has a newly sworn in president gone to such lengths (or sent his henchmen on his behalf) to blame his predecessor. Normally a new president refrains from stooping to that but not Obama.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01924589351645081522noreply@blogger.com
