What happened? He actually added to the deficit. I don't think any party cares about the deficit.

Didn't Mitch McConnell say his single most important job was to defeat Barack Obama?

Funny, 'cause I thought it was more important to, I don't know, bring back jobs to Kentucky, and at least not get in the way of job growth in other states.

How does "blocking and filibustering" add to the deficit? The first two years was damn near a super-majority, and the dems have not proposed a budget in what, 3-4 years now?

Nope. It's more important to defeat your political opponents than actually do what's good for the country. These people are not patriotic and do not care about their country. They would take the country down with them if they cannot have it their way. I'm truly beginning to lose almost all faith in our democratic institutions. Parliamentary democracies sound better and better by the day.

Pardon me, but obama got EVERYTHING he wanted the first two years of his term - do you deny this?

Then, in 2010, the GOP was given a historic victory by the voters to STOP obama's out of control spending and massive debt increase.

You do know of course he's added $4 TRILLION to the debt in 3 short years...don't you?
