How about some facts such as

Clinton took years of disastrous GOP policies, to turn them around to create the biggest surplus in US history. We were well on our way to being debt free, but W and the GOP threw that in the trash and went back to the epically failed "trickle down" economics that turned the biggest surplus into the biggest deficit. It takes some real idiots to pull that one off, and those idiots were W and the GOP.

Let's also not forget if it wasn't for W and the GOP completely destroying the nation and sending it near the brink of total collapse, Obama never would have needed to propose the stimulus bill in the first place.

Essentially it's like W and the republicans went on a careless joyride in the new car, crashed into a tree, tossed Obama the keys, ran off, and then are blaming Obama for having to pay to have it fixed.
How true...the RW posts are so predictable and repetitive that we could write them ourselves. Funny that they completely ignore the many lies of Bush, and how the economy suffered due to the unnecessary war in Iraq
while the administration's cronies made obscene profits. Now they want to blame Obama while doing nothing to help. What's funny is that the GOP wants to complain, but has done nothing to help their fellow countrymen out. Deflect, deny and distort...simplistic thinking and useless in terms of
creating jobs and improving the economy. It's almost as if they'd rather claim that President Obama's a failure than consider the consequences of their actions on America's future.

Far more concerned with the debt than the deficit. Since 2009 govt spending as % of GDP skyrocketed to 43% then back down to 40%. Govt debt, including that "owned" by the FED has gone off the deep end, as well. Swelled from about 5% to over 11% by end of 2011. (About a yr)

Facts speak volume, and do not lie. Watching tv right now, they say that employment is way below what it should be, and so many not being counted for in the numbers, as in, those who have given up looking.
Economy, Housing Criris, High Unemployment, Businesses closing doors, Businesses having to close certain stores, People still losing their homes, College Grads, cannot find Jobs, these are no lies.
In a booming thriving economy homes sell, prove they don't i was in real estate for 15 years, give me a break. Bad housing market, bad economy, everyone knows this. Infact housing is going to be down, for quite a while. That ain't no lie. Stop saying we are on the road to a recovery. If this were the truth, people would not have a hard time finding jobs, College Grads, would be able to find a job very easily, after graduating, so save all your excuses.
Just look at the Debt Obama has given us so far, right, and he was not going to spend ha?
Forward, what a joke, just as his slogan which was garbage of Hope n' Change, what a crock! Forward we shoud march, but not to the tune of Obama, someone that actually has the ability and business sense, to get us out of this mess, Obama has put us in.

I'm old enough to have witnessed the mess democrats made years ago.

I know what the dems are about, so I'm not angry with them, they are what they are. But the republican party absolutely fooled and then pulled a bait and switch which screwed this nation almost into the ground. And it appears they've not learned their lesson and will march steadfastly forward as though nothing has changed.

The GOP needs new leadership with the American worker as its primary focus, not this trickle down bull chit with NAFTA deals made by the dozen. Romney is a phony and will never get my vote. I'm voting for and writing in Micky the Mouse.

Yeah, I think I presented the debt spending evidence. I am no BO fan either.

No more a phony then what we now have in office.

Who promised every single one of us, a new era of unity, all people being one, Hope n' Change, was going to be the most bi-partisian Pres, he was going to keep spending down, all of which was a Crock!

We would have a prosperous Economy under Obama, yes he said this, i have his tapes from 2008, he was going to bring our Troops home within the first 6 months of his Presidency, yes he also said that. He is a phony, of a different kind, but a phony none the less.

I don't think Obama is a phony, he is what he is and everyone or mostly everyone knew that when they voted for him. I voted for McCain holding my nose. I am very sure if McCain was elected we'd still be in a big mess. I'm not going to do that again.

Micky for PRESIDENT!
