[sanrene]

Well, that really says it all, doesn't it?

Who can seriously argue the numbers?

I seem to recall candidate obama talking about fiscal responsibility, bringing down the debt/deficit, trying to rein in the out of control spending.......this IS the same guy, right?

National debt has increased $4 trillion under Obama - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

The latest posting by the Treasury Department shows the national debt has now increased $4 trillion on President Obama's watch.

The debt was $10.626 trillion on the day Mr. Obama took office. The latest calculation from Treasury shows the debt has now hit $14.639 trillion.

It's the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.

Hear that people? obama - breaking records left and right.

It has and the Bush tax cuts are responsible for much of the debt and the recession Bush handed Obama has also increased our national debt.

So instead of only spouting a single meaningless number, what percentage of that $4 trillion can be traced back to things Obama did and how much was inherited? Or did you not bother to delve any deeper than the headline?

I agree the Child Tax Credit is expensive.

He doesn't want to do that. That would involve telling the whole truth. Is Obama responsible for some of that debt? Yes, of course, but GOP hacks are not interested in honest debate.

Funny, you single that tax credit out first. I would have went for spending in the tax code that goes to the rich and to the most profitable corporations.

I guess that's the difference between us.

He under estimated the duplicity and intransigence of the republican agenda.

Caught W in three years and now blames tax cuts from ten years ago for the problems and anything else he can think of. His entire upcoming campaign appears to be it's all everybody elses fault and if you think different your a racist.
