Yet so many on here act as though everything is peachy keen. How about some solutions from the right as opposed to lambasting every action by Obama?
Denial is not a river in Egypt.

People can't admit they are wrong, they have blinders on that make them blindly follow like a lemming.

NO, some of you will never understand the horrible mistake you have made putting Obama in office. You might before it is said and done.

Can we talk? Let me get this straight, Bush does your bidding everything you ask and it fails. Now do you not only not take responsibility for what you wanted, you blame Obama. Unbelievable

The days don't have to go on for us to think that.

Actually many in the GOP , still think Bush did just fine and history will record him as a relatively good President, It is us Conservatives who were not happy with W from the jump, because he acted too much like a Democrat!

I agree, with me that is soooooo maddening because of the enormous consequences to having massive debt. That's why even though Obama's "cut the deficit in half" is a pipe dream IMO, I still hope he can do it.

The borrower is always the slave to the lender. In that sense, Bush may have reduced us to slavery more than Republicans like to realize.

We fought two wars and had to deal with 9/11 and the debt was mainly because of that, but now look what Obama has done in one month. Adding to the debt four fold is not exactly improving things. Hypocrisy is saying "no more earmarks" and then including some 9,000 of them in his budget. That is the ultimate in hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, is saying you will remove the troops from Iraq and then following the exact same time table Bush had already approved. Hypocrisy, is saying you will close GITMO and then putting it off indefinitely because you have no idea how to go about it. Shall I go on?

Except for 9/11 is the operative word. Bush didn't keep us safe remember 9/11? I do it happened in my backyard. I bet if it happened in yours you woudln't dare say he kept us safe.
