- forgotpasswd3x 12y agoIt's worth noting the president doesn't have direct control of the economy anyway, sooo...
- MAGZine 12y agoIt's also worth noting that he inherited a hundred years of other president's failure and successes. Pinning the upward or downward movement of such a sweeping figure onto one person is the definition of disingenuous. e: not to mention my sibbling's comment that no, the president does not control the economy, the industry, people's spending and borrowing habits. Heck, not even the Fed. Reserve.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoAnd yet the same President in question earns praise for decreasing unemployment and increasing GDP, even though he has the same lack of control over those. If you take credit for the good, you have to take blame for the bad.

- dasil003 12y agoWhat do you mean "and yet"? You are not contradicting the GP in any way, you are merely reiterating exactly what he already said: successes and failures, upward or downward.
- nether 12y agoHe's not responsible for everything good that happens to the country during his terms, nor is he responsible for all of the bad. Is that ok?
