That's the only real insanity I've seen....

How many times is GOP going to keep playing its "clever" name game...the ONLY thing that really changes in the Republican Party

If Regan or either Bush were in office right now you would have a leg to stand on but today's spending is 100% progressive democrat. Remember, conservatives like myself are the party of NO.

Can't you read? The man assumed an $11 trillion debt from George Bush and before he ever spent a cent he owed nearly half a trillion dollars just to cover the first year's interest payment. Reagan/Bush41 and George W. Bush borrowed 80% of all the debt this nation had accumulated in it's 232 year history. If you want to talk debt you're either ignorant or something besides a Republican.

Interesting how some people freak out when they're confronted with the truth. Apparently, like Rip Van Winkle, they slept for eight years and woke up to see that they'd been booted out of office, and quite handily at that.
The fact that President Obama has managed to prevent a full-blown crash with Wall Street and the GOP doing nothing to help is amazing.How odd that people want to complain about money spent on Afghanistan, where the Taliban is, but had no problem with the trillions spent in Iraq, just because Hussein was a "bad guy." Not that he wasn't, but surely the money could have been better spent going after bin Laden.

Not to mention the 4000+ young Americans and their families whose lives were lost or devastated by the military/industrial complex. An estimated 150,000 innocent Iraqis lost their lives and after the suicide bombings began more than 2,000,000 fled their homes and looked for refuge in Jordan and Syria. We've had our a$$es in the middle east for nothing but oil interests since the 1930's.
