The deficit was already crawling up when he entered, but it skyrocketed with the military, war, and his policies for socieity and the rich.

He's really one of those presidents who just did not care anymore because he knew he couldn't be president after 2008 and everyone began to hate him. I don't like the way Obama's done a lot of t

hings, but Romney isn't the answer, Obama isn't the answer, and Bush is FAR from the answer. I believe if Obama was white, he would not have half the problems he does.
what? Your post sounds like a conspiracy theory. Why bring up race? If you don't like the way Obama is doing things then what does his race have to do with it?
And, yes Bush was a lame duck in 2008. The democratic congress had taken over in 2006 and would not work constructively at all. Now Obama is finding out what that is like.

Staged the 9-11 attacks? Are you serious?

And today you have the current illegitimate smug dictator mocking the great man:

No. It's just you and the social conservatives.

And while you may not like him, the current President is neither illegitimate nor a dictator.

What ever happened to the daily death reports from the media? Almost never do they report those things about Afghanistan. Is there a reason for that?

This is by far the best post of this thread. Thank you for saying what needed said.

I wonder how many here heard what The One said about Bush in his introduction. I heard it live the other day and was amazed that even The One would say something like that on that occasion.

So you really like the idea of Cap and Trade?

I saw the speeches in their entirety. Bush definitely stole the show. Obama got a few laughs as well though. Obama gave plenty of props to W and the former first lady. The entire thing was positive.

I guess the moron right wing blogger who wrote that horrible article in the link needed to drum up some website hits. This is all to do about nothing. YAWAOT.

At some point, it would be nice if all of the emotional partisans on this forum would grow up and think objectively.
When will that be? I ask it because nearly all the moron partisans from the left have made it to this thread and are failing to see what you say you saw when Obama pulled his trick.

That would be kind of like what the GOP put up against The One, wouldn't it?

Well, to be honest, when he was President I hated him with a purple passion. But compared to the guy that's there NOW, GWB would be a breath of fresh air. Old George was no Rhode's Scholar, but by God he wasn't a socialist, that's for sure.

Nor is Obama. He is, at his most extreme, a liberal or centrist Republican.
