Here's a clue Dude.

Your boy Bush was President for all of 2007 and 2008.

Obama did not take office until Jan. 20, 2009.

From 2007 to 2009 real median household income declined from $56,436 in 2007 to $54,059 in 2009, a decline of 4.2%. That's about 1/2 of the 8% that you are trying to attribute to Obama. Sorry Zero, but your boy Bush owns that 4.2%.

Facts tend to be the best sort of "excuse."

You do realize that you could use that excuse forever for everything.

Of course that is the base of progressive thought. Everything is somebody else's fault and everybody else's responsibility.

Oh, there is no one 'base of progressive thought.' Progressives are such a thinking bunch, they come up with lots of bases. Here's one I heard about recently, from one of this site's notable progressives, djv8ga:

Ethics

1. Take care of the Earth.
2. Take care of each other.
3. Never hoard, always share.

(from Permaculture Ethics, my paraphrase)

"Basis" maybe?

You know nothing of "progressive thought." All you're capable of is random insults hurled at "the other team" like some half drunk sports fan in the cheap seats.

When in Rome do as the Romans do. As if fuck Ben Carson is the depth I should strive for.

The writer was striving for a depth appropriate to Carson.
