As compared to your unveiled baseless, inane, asinine allegation?

You're definitely in the running for the most misplaced, poorly played use of the "anti-semite!" card though.

Bush and the neo cons put us in the hole we're in. The giant defecit, the recession, the wars, thatsall their mess.

Obama has been left to clean it up. Admittedly, he's been doing a crappy job.

Reminds me of being probably the most inane allegation I've ever read on CD, that the term NeoCon is just a veiled form of anti-semitism.

Nothing new. They keep rolling it out but it goes nowhere because it is BS. Instant loss of credibility whenever some one uses it in this context.

If you're left with a really deep hole, you have to do somethig to try to get out.

Take, for instance, the bailouts.
Bush started them and set most of them into play.

Who started the wars in the middle east? Bush & neo-cons; not Obama.
You just proved the OP's point. Thank you- On to the next thread.

Takes two to tengo...a President generally can't ake things happen without COngress spport...if people want to go around running like cickens with their head cut off and blaming any President, make sure you incude the Congress.....Wars, Budgets, Policies, etc require some COngress support....

I am sure you have no idea how the term neo con came about so I am unsurprised that my comments baffle you.

Seems to be the general discourse in the country: not sure what it solves exactly
You're utterly ignorant of realities if you don't think that policies put in place, years before Obama took office have had their impact on present day deficits. A bit of reality check to help you out:
1- 2001 was the last year with a budget surplus. It was also a year in recession.
2- Freezing spending at that year's level, adjusted to inflation, would have still created a big deficit in 2009. Have you thought about it? And if you have, why do you think that is?
3- Had the federal tax revenues grown with the economy between 2001 and 2009 at the same rate as it had for at least a few decades earlier, tax receipts in 2009 would have been over a trillion dollar more. Instead, we're stuck at a level LOWER than 2001. What is responsible for that?

So, do you think it is really the policies created and implemented by Jews that is responsible for the points I just made above?
