+6Liberals make themselves over according to convenience. It was convenient to be born in Kenya then. Now it's convenient to be born in Hawaii.
This is a red herring and a real diversion.
As long as the Republicans can keep on putting doubt in peoples minds they will continue to do it, even if they don't believe it themselves.
For as long as people are looking at this, they are not talking about the trillions that are being sypnoned out of the US economy and placed in tax havens...
"Quick look over there" (so I can pick your pocket more easily)
Do I think he was born in Kenya, I don't know. I think Obama took advantage of Foreign Student Aids
Although the governor now claims she issued a news release stating Kapi’olani is Obama’s birthplace, the actual release said no such thing, making no reference to Kapi’olani nor any other specific location of Obama’s birth.

And before you try and play "label and dismiss" you need to remember that the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox.
There's this thing called a "veto" that W had. He was asleep at the wheel and only used it 5 times in 8 yrs--which is the lowest usage in US history. Sorry to destroy your argument that he had NO CONTROL over the situation. Ok, so I'm kidding about that but now you know what the facts are, the question is can you deal with them? I'm guessing the answer's a resounding, "no".
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5% The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Also, Frank and Dodd did nothing to cause the Banks to make those fraudulent and toxic sub prime loans. Loans that 50% of the people who got them actually qualified for non-subprime loans. They also didn't make the Banks bundle up those mortgage-backed securities and sell them as deriviatives, collateralized debt obligations or credit defaut swaps but nice try.
Nice job of also ignoring W's veto power and lack of using it. Funny how nothing that happened on W's watch (9/11, Iraq, Katrina, the meltdown and bubble) was his responsibility per you ideologues while everything that happens under Obama is his resposibility--as long as it's negative. This is what's known as a hypocritical double standard.

Former President Bill Clinton told CNBC Tuesday that the US economy already is in a recession and urged Congress to extend all the tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year.
In a taped interview aired on "Closing Bell," the still-popular 42nd president called the current economic conditions a "recession"
"What I think we need to do is find some way to avoid the fiscal cliff, to avoid doing anything that would contract the economy now, and then deal with what's necessary in the long term debt-reduction plans as soon as they can, which presumably would be after the election," Clinton said.
"They will probably have to put everything off until early next year," he added. "That's probably the best thing to do right now. But the Republicans don't want to do that unless he agrees to extend the tax cuts permanently, including for upper income people, and I don't think the president should do that."
However, Clinton did say that Congress would be best off agreeing, at least for the time being, to extend all the tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year, including the so-called Bush tax cuts named afte...

However, Clinton did say that Congress would be best off agreeing, at least for the time being, to extend all the tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year, including the so-called Bush tax cuts named after Clinton's successor, George W. Bush.
Those across-the-board cuts have been criticized by Democrats who say they were skewed toward upper-income earners.
Also the economy was roaring under Clinton with the higher tax rates so ur argument doesn't hold water. And W's tax cuts worked so well that when W left office we were losing 800,000 jobs per month and the GDP dropped -4% and -9% during W's last two qtrs.
