Liberals insist on defending this President at all costs. It makes no sense, they know it, but at this point Libs are too wedded to this President to swallow their pride.
It's sickening.
You seem not to be paying attention. Liberals are among Obama's biggest critics -- not because he made any particular mistakes but because he hadn't stood up to the GOP until recently.
Huh? Bush had a deficit of $450 billion. OBAMA has approximately tripled that for the last 3 years.
Obama's deficits are more than all other presidents combined.
Yeah, some folks like to say that. It's false. The total debt also rose by over 1 trilliion in FY2008. Some of you folks like to ignore that as well. Fact is, republican leaders love to yell about the debt when they're out of power, but they also try to take any sound action to reduce it, and then go back to increasing it when they're in office. Granted, there are some actual, serious conservatives in major media that voice opposition to this even when the GOP is in power, so I guess there's some hope.

Republicans still have yet to apologize for president Bush's 100% failure as president. They were too busy whining about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to take the time to fully denounce Bush and label him as a traitor to conservatism.
All we ever really got was a small percentage of Republicans who will say things like, "well, yeah, Bush did spend too much, but hey, he kept us safe!"
Bush didn't keep us safe. He sacrificed 4500 US troops and $trillions$ in Iraq based on evidence that proved false, and resulted in an Islamic Republic government in place of Saddam's secular government, meaning the radicals are empowered and Iraq is a breeding ground for terrorists. The Christians in Iraq, one of the oldest groups of Christians on the planet, are no longer safe to practice Christianity openly as they mostly were before.
Bush exploded the growth of government, the budget, and the national debt, and most of it was done between 2000-2006 under a Republican congress. Together, Bush and the Republican cronies in congress centralized education under federal power and government control with No Child Left Behind, created Dept of Homeland Security (which federalized airport security under TSA), created the Medicare prescription coverage plan (per person as costly as Obamacare to taxpayers).
Thats just the big items that Bush and his complicit Republican congress pushed on America.
But the GOP fled the facts like a drunk driver fleeing a hit and run. All of the blame has gone to Pelosi and Reid from 2006-2008, and to Obama ever since. No doubt they deserve some of the blame, but until the GOP is cleaned out and rebuilt from the ground up, their banner of "small government and personal freedom" is as phony as "hope and change".
I hope and pray that Marco Rubio runs in the next election!
I do too....as VP. Man, would that send obama/left into a tizzy.

Ah gawds. The rate are low because the FED is keeping them artificially low. Has nothing at all to do with the "market".
