Those on the right would really like for all of us to forget that the bush recession and the resulting exodus of jobs from this country, were caused / allowed under Republican control. President Obama inherited the mess left by the unbridled corruption and greed brought about by the plundering of the economy and the workforce, allowed and promoted by Bush and his cronies. To loosely paraphrase Bill
Maher; ' they create a mess and then say "hey someone needs to clean that up"'.
