And we went from 8 trillion to 20 trillion in debt under his administration alone. But, they will try to blame Bush for that one.

Got news for you, austerity is NOT the way out of a recession, it just makes it worse

How am I wrong? Look at real world examples. European countries that recently tried austerity increased joblessness

Obama took us out of a recession that could have totally devastated this country. Thankfully we had a smart President then, instead of this dumb bunny we have now!

An increase of 12 trillion, more than any other president, isn't exactly smart.

No other President has come into the mess left to him when he took office in 2009. Remember the General Motors and TARP bailouts? Would you rather have let our economy go down the tubes? Obama saved tens of thousands of small companies that would have gone under if GM had gone out of business.

Newsflash: Obama approved a mission that killed Osama bin Laden, who planned the 9/11 terrorist attack (which happened during the Bush administration). Facts over hysteria.
