Donna Brazile lying to the American public

Cheese Lives Matter!

No it's not. Obama keep bragging about the economy and how much he did to save it. Hillary says the same thing. Of course she made about $2 billion fucking dollars during Obama's term, raking in money from Middle Eastern governments, big oil companies, and a wide range of felons.

2 billion fucking dollars buys a lot of cheese.
That's enough for a sack of babybels for the whole country.
Mmmm...babybels.

Those are different claims. At the end of Bush-2's terms, the US economy was headed straight down the drain. And yet at the end of Obama's terms, the US has a comparatively stable currency, private and government organisations are still working, industrial and service sectors still exist, hell, even automobiles are still produced in the US, and the busts and popped bubbles of Bush's time haven't repeated. Pointing out that all of this was achieved in no way implies that people aren't desperate for improvements in the housing sector, in absolute wage levels, and in relative income equality. And in any speech I've ever seen, Obama has fiercely focused on the latter, not the former.

(I realise this is wasted on @gturner, but some things just need to be countered factually for the benefit of third parties or for the hell of it.)

I like cheese.

The US economy wasn't headed straight down the drain. There was a housing bubble. It burst. The same thing happened in 1819, 1836, 1855, 1869, 1888, 1907, 1913, 1929, 1974, 1986, and 2007. If it's still a political topic eight or nine years after such a bust, there wasn't a recovery yet.

We totally fuckin kicked the can. There was none (in relative terms) of the consequences of bad decisions, and those consequences still lay ahead. Anyone who says that the US addressed the housing bubble/banks too big but to bail etc. is frigggin delusional (or a liberal).

Was there cheese in the can?
