You're defending the response to the financial crisis (or the actions that created it)? You're claiming Iraq War was a success? Really?

Well, I said neither, but I would hardly call the Obama administration a "failed" one. Would you?

His response to the financial crisis led to millions having their homes illegally taken. He got us into 2 more wars in the ME.

This is not a personality or party issue. It's about an ideology that is not delivering on its promises for millions around the world.

Holding Obama personally responsible for the foreclosure crisis seems like a stretch, and he made significant efforts to retreat from ME 1/2

I'm not saying it's simple. I AM, however, saying that centrists are terrible at assessing their assumptions and the failures they bring.

How much blame do the right wingers bear? The ones who caused the crisis, offered zero solutions for it, and started the Iraq war?

The ones who championed the Iraq War, both Republicans and Democrats, definitely responsible. But I didn't know bankers were all right wing.
