Hmmm. What about the billions Obama has spent on his projects that are Libya and Egypt? Thanks to him and Clinton, those two countries (formerly allies to the US who attacked terrorists and aided us) are now going to be run by the Muslim Brotherhood. And did Obama get any congressional approval to enter into those wars? Nope.

I know how this country works. What I'm saying is that the views of both parties differ way too much for their to be much bipartisanship. The democrats have also moved so far to the left, they cannot be compared to the party they were 20 years ago. America has always been a center right country and the democrats no longer fit the voters bill. That's why you saw what happened in November of 2010, expect the same with Obama this year.

Bush II came in following a budget surplus, so his administration inherited no debt. Obama inherited 2 unfunded wars, 2 unfunded tax cuts, and oh yeah, the great recession, which means (for those unable to think) that revenue was way down. |

Battle of the factoids, always fun.
Nobama managed to do in three what GW did in eight, right? And he continues to grow that number (at least through next January) and show no sign of even wanting, much less acting, to reverse that trend. And if he didn't like his foreign wars he could just stopped them or rather accelerated GW's plans. But he has developed a taste for overseas adventures and killing so, spend baby spend. One of these days Nobama will be responsible for something--perhaps it'll be a transition plan to the next guy. |

No, not at all. And he continues to grow that number (at least through next January) and show no sign of even wanting, much less acting, to reverse that trend. How many times in history, while coming out of a recession, has the trend been reversed? Get real. And if he didn't like his foreign wars he could just stopped them or rather accelerated GW's plans. He has, where the hell have you been? But he has developed a taste for overseas adventures and killing so, spend baby spend. What the hell are you talking about? For an army guy, you sure act like a completely uninformed person. |

New York Times isn't exactly a source. Cite the Times' source - a legit source - for the chart.

![]() So this is where you say that Obama's a lightweight with no qualifications who never had a job and can't get anything done, waaaaahhhhh. Well he's getting it done; the economy, the wars, health care, protecting individual rights. Perhaps the mormon former governor of a liberal state who championed healthcare reform and solved the state's deficit by raising fees can win over the right wingers. Bwaaaaaahahahahahaha! Maybe you can move to one of those redneck states and forget about the federal gov't. ![]() |

The economy is GREAT! Just ask anybody! If nobama runs a few hundred thousand more out of the workforce he'll get that pesky unemployment number back down where it was on his day one. Nothing quite like subtraction by addition. November can't come soon enough, let America get this experiment over with. |

he's already failed. Liberal left and the right agree on this!
- Why, because you say so? Wow, that's a strong argument, especially with your superlative track record. You do realize that polls say your statement is flat wrong, hmmm? The economy is GREAT! - I did not and would not make a stupid remark like that. But I'm perpetually amazed at how you measure unemployment from his inauguration day, as if he had magic power to instantly make the recession stop. Unemployment peaked nine months after he took office, whereas it took Saint Ronald Reagan 3 years to get it to start coming down. And he did it by nearly tripling the debt. But you knew that, right? let America get this experiment over with. - Gee, wonder what you mean by that? You know, the wars are ending, economy's improving, and both will continue regardless of who's in office in January. I'm sure you don't believe that, but who cares? |

S&C,
Nothing you say will enlighted these myopic conservatives. They are too stuck in the muck and mire of Old-World thinking. Hopefully their children will/have read between the right-wing propoganda lines and see the light. If Obama brought unemployment to 0%, they (conservatives) would say there are still 12-year-olds who can't find babysitting jobs. If Obama made China a democracy, they would call it an Obamacy and not dare recognize it as a democracy. If Obama brought global warming to an end (Oops, sorry. I forgot. There is no global warming ![]() Even though I think Reagan was among one of the worst presidents middle-class American has ever had, I do give him credit where credit is due. I do feel he played an important role in the fall of communism in E. Germany. And I do feel he opened the door for other movie stars and celebrities to enter the political arena. Bush number one did a good job with the Iraq/Kuwait conflict. And Bush number two did a good job reading to elementary school kids. |
