So is Hillary going to blame the economic conditions on her predecessor Barack Obama? Or is she going back 8 years to blame GWB?
Or will she try, "16 years ago, the first time I was President, the economy was booming!"

How hypocritical can you ConTards/TeaTards (sorry, but I just couldn't resist a little name calling back atcha) be? You "blame" Carter for all the economic woes of the 1970's and LBJ for fucking up a great nation so those "others" (whichever others you don't like are aren't like you or aren't Americans) got rights and seniors were lifted out of poverty and many more got medical care, yet Bush is not even partially responsible for what happened under his watch. At a minimum, two botched wars, an unfunded mandate and a terrible recession. Oh, and huge government spending not to mention a surveillance state that violates all citizens rights and freedoms and may be the foundation for a police state of the future. You can't have it both ways and what happened happened. It isn't "blame" it is realism.
Obama is far from perfect but the Republicans have blocked many common sense measures to recover from that recession and put Americans back to work that they would have and did take under any Republican president. That is hypocrisy of the highest order when you say big government and stimulus spending (and wars) are OK under a Republican president, but folly and treason under a Democrat. Hell ObamaCare was RomneyCare in MA and Nixon called for universal healthcare in front of Congress in 1973! Nixon, Eisenhower, Lincoln and Reagan would all be called RINOs in today's Republican party and their policies would be considered treasonous today. Can you deny it (with any facts please)?
Of course if you win the Presidency in 2016 and the leadership of both houses of Congress you can just rewrite history so none of that is true anymore and Dems can be jailed for propagandizing it just like Russians and visitors can be jailed for "propagandizing" homosexuality (which is BTW a Western "disease" that doesn't exist in true Russian culture before its contamination with the west LOL).
