Well folks. We passed $15,000,000,000,000 in debt today!

Am I wrong or did Obama campaign partly on reducing the wasteful spending, deficit and debt Bush was guilty of?

It doesn't take rocket science to realize the national debt will be going up for decades to come...

It's hilarious the OP falls back on the "blame Bush" mentality.

Why the OP isn't blaming American citizens for wanting free government handouts and political cronyism in both parties is beyond me...

I guess I have to research to find the number that I remember reading that was from the Non-Partisan GAO. It was saying that BO, in his first 19mos....yeah, that number stuck with me, had increased our Debt, uh....quadrupling it?! Sheesh, I think that's what it said.

Yes, you refer to some of his legion of Lies. His lies are Psychopolitics instead of the typical lieing of most politicians. His are to satisfy and keep on the hook, the large amount of mindless sheeple that support him, while he and his kind hope to "provoke" through shock, anger and frustration the multitude of folks that are onto them, and oppose him and his most radical, Presidential Agenda.

Bush did spend too much. That is a fact. Obama promised to reduce the deficit and lower the debt. That is a fact. Obama is spending more than Bush and is increasing the debt faster than Bush. That is a fact.

So what?

I don't care what the debt is as long as the economy is growing fast enough to cover the interest on the debt(and it is).

And Bush spent more and spent it faster than Clinton. That's a fact too.

Your facts are irrelevant, but they are "facts."
