Anybody! (Any Republican, that is). Or a conservative Democrat (if any still exist, which I believe still do).
Here is an example of the "status quo."
Daily increase in National Debt:
Under G.W. Bush... $1.46 billion
Under Obama... $4.2 billion
Why would anyone want a president who keeps that up?
Quote:
As specified in law, and to provide a benchmark against which potential legislation can be measured, CBO constructs its baseline estimates of federal revenues and spending under the assumption that current laws generally remain unchanged. On that basis, the federal budget is projected to show a deficit of nearly $1.2 trillion in 2012 (see Table 1). Relative to the nation’s gross domestic product, that shortfall will equal 7.6 percent—about 1 percentage point less than the deficit recorded last year but still higher than any deficit between 1946 and 2008. In CBO’s baseline, deficits are projected to drop markedly in the next few years and to average 1.4 percent of GDP over the 2013–2022 period. With deficits small relative to the size of the economy, the amount of federal debt held by the public is projected to drop from nearly 76 percent of GDP in 2013 to 61 percent in 2022—still higher than in any year between 1953 and 2009.
So we're at just over three pages in this thread and we have three race card plays so far and absolutely nothing with any substance or basis of fact regarding why Obama should be re-elected. Where do you figure we should set the line?
Good thing then that this was the first post mentioning race:

It has to be repeated, even though it's fairly obvious in post #2:

Lord of the Rings was better grounded in reality...also less likely to lead to a lifelong obsession leading to an emotionally stunted and socially crippled life unable to deal with the real world.

Most of the excessive government spending was in the initial year of stimulus packages. Since then, the increases in spending have been minimal, and mostly because a Republican house refuses to allow taxes to be raised for the programs that are passed.
Please explain how raising taxes curtails spending.

Pointing out the fact that the poster in question will vote for Obama because he's black no matter how much of a failure he truly is is not playing the race card. It's pointing out fact. Thanks for posting. I enjoy laughing at you.
If a previous president would have increased the deficit by double the amount of his predecessor’s eight year tenure in only his first 30 months, would you have considered him an oniomaniac?
If the Previous President spent a TRILLION DOLLARS in Stimulus nd Guaranteed 8% unemployment would you have called him a liar?
Oh HEy, What about 13 consecutive weekends of GOLF During a Crisis?
Criticized a states law without ever reading it?
Oh how about this Joining with a Foreign Country such as Mexico who has everything to lose and Suing a American State so illegal immigration could continue.
Putting 87,000 people out of work with his off shore oil drilling moritorium.
Oh how about filling your CABINET and ADVISERS with people who don't pay their own TAXES!
31. If a previous president had released a fraudulent long form birth certificate and was factually proven ineligible to be the president whether he was born on American soil or not (father had dual citizenship Kenya/Britain) would you have not demanded impeachment?
Stupid is as stupid does....
