It took a long rear end time for most Americans to start blaming him for the economy.

But blaming him they apparently are. Not really arguing the logic of it, but that has been the hot topic this election.

After Bush that makes sense.

Also blaming the President for the economy is the stupidest loving thing. They have almost no control over it. It's like blaming your congressman for the weather.

If they pass some bills that change things up or change up how the Fed acts then sure. But they don't have nearly as much control as people think they have.

This is the same country that is blaming the President for Ebola

Scott Walker leading with 61% of the vote with 21% reporting. This state is a loving joke. Walker actively cost this state money and jobs, and got the state loving sued for breach of contract, while being a goddamn OPENLY CRONY for the Koch brothers and spending all his time campaigning for the Presidency instead of actually doing his loving job.

I actually hope Walker is the Republican candidate in 2016, this shithole country and its voters deserves whatever it gets.
He'll probably win, but it's still way too early to freak out.

Also his entire campaign message was about Franken voting 97% "with Obama" and offering up absolutely nothing as to what he'd do.

Same with Tillis running in NC. Every ad would mention that she's a rubber stamp for Obama 96% of the time. He's different. He'd be a rubber stamp AGAINST Obama 100% of the time.

See what good that attack did him.

Seriously this country deserves what it gets at this point. There's really no excuse for people not going out and voting when the GOP put all their cards on the table. When we can't compete with other countries because our education has been shot to hell and we regress to 1930s labor standards we have ourselves to blame. I do feel bad since we are going to gently caress over the world's environment because it's inconvenient for people that are going to die before the poo poo really hits the fan.

For example Wisconsin has had three tries to not elect Walker. Enjoy your lovely economy idiots. If we're lucky this might be the start of the Democrats becoming irrelevant outside of the presidency and their leadership being ousted but that's probably wishful thinking.

If there's one comfort in all this it's that the Republicans are getting in a big win in a year when they can't win the presidency, and Obama can veto everything they pass. And maybe just maybe Americans will see all the regressive poo poo they try and push through and will dislike at least some of it.
