Sorry Ray but the spending into oblivion started way before Obama. Bush passed tax cuts for the rich whilst fighting two wars, essentially unfunded. He turned Clinton's surplus into a massive deficit yet where was the hue and cry? People on the right were amazingly silent when the guy with the correct skin tone sat in the WH.
WRONG! Democrats have been bragging about a Clinton surplus for years and years. Let me educate you on what a government surplus really is. A government surplus is just another way of saying "THE GOVERNMENT TOOK (STOLE) TO MANY OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS OUT OF YOUR PAY CHECK", resulting in more dollars in the government's coffers than the government could spend (waste) at the time. Those dollars later got spent recovering from the Clinton market CRASH when Bush first took office. REMEMBER? I'll guess you wouldn't remember. This doesn't sound too appealing to me or something to brag about.
She will not run for office. More than likely it will take a few years before Americans elect a woman as president. Not even Hillary Clinton can win. In fact, she will be dragged back and forth through the mud, like they have done to Palin.
In England Margaret Thatcher was slammed left and right by male and female politicians and the opposition. Even to this day there are marchers against her, and she is dead. There is something a lot of people can't stand strong political women, and women themselves are specially mean to other women.
Actually, I think Hilary might possibly take it by a landslide. It'll be the tea party types who will try to drag her through the mud, but no one's listening to their braying anymore.

ROFLMAO - Two high profile women each wrote a book. The facts are in the dust; has settled!
The publisher for Hillary Clinton's book lost ten million dollars!!
The publisher for Sarah Palin's book made millions and so did she.
America has spoken - the facts are real Get over it. American's can't stand Hillary yet they endorse Sarah by a wide margin, The books each speak volumes about "Character".
Something you seem to be clueless about. You vilify Palin for drinking; yet you have published your "alcoholic binges" of the past with great pride. Talk about hypocrisy!!
The fact that there are people in the world who watched that video and think "wow, she'd make a great international figurehead for our entire country" just makes me shake my head and realize that our country is on a major backwards slide in the favor of rampant anti-intellectualism.
(CBS News) The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.
The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.
The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion. It was $10.626 trillion on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's first day.
The National Debt also now exceeds 100% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, the total value of goods and services.

You mean taxes, this system by which the government supports itself?? Get off Norquist's jock and realize the government needs to be funded. Money doesn't fall out of tree or arseholes and voodoo economics and trickle down just means the middle class gets the slops off the tables of the rich.
Defending the indefensible nitwit (Palin) is a fool's errand and it sucks to be on the outside looking in and when you finally grow frustrated and weary from being on the wrong side of history and you are ready to purge yourselves of your hatred and vitriol, there is always a place for you on this side of the table.
