Since Obama has been in office he has added MORE to the US Debt than all POTUS prior, combined.

Right on cue here come the right wingers blaming Obama with the exact same programmed right wing talking points.
How about some facts such as
Clinton took years of disastrous GOP policies, to turn them around to create the biggest surplus in US history. We were well on our way to being debt free, but W and the GOP threw that in the trash and went back to the epically failed "trickle down" economics that turned the biggest surplus into the biggest deficit. It takes some real idiots to pull that one off, and those idiots were W and the GOP.
Let's also not forget if it wasn't for W and the GOP completely destroying the nation and sending it near the brink of total collapse, Obama never would have needed to propose the stimulus bill in the first place.
Essentially it's like W and the republicans went on a careless joyride in the new car, crashed into a tree, tossed Obama the keys, ran off, and then are blaming Obama for having to pay to have it fixed.

Lol! What? Clinton didn't make us debt free, he actually ADDED to the debt. It is a typical left winger who doesn't have any idea what he's talking about.

I didn't say that, I said, "We were well on our way to being debt free"

Your last point is true. Make no mistake the republican party did not want the presidency after Bush. Hence, McCain/Palin. There is no doubt there is a method to the republican party's madness. What gets to me is Romney's the man? Not this time around again for the GOP. A very poorly run party for sure and certainly not the one I voted for, for many years.
Many believe that Obama was the cause for the deficit crisis. WRONG. Uneducated or uninformed believe Obama was the cause. Actually, Bush Jr. is to blame. First, with the spending for the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Then, with all that bailout money to banks and private investors. When Bush Jr. started his presidency, the deficit was at 5 trillion, thanks to Reagan. After Bush Jr. left office, out deficit was at 12 trillion. Then, Obama had to spend money to help clean up the mess that Bush Jr. made.

And I suppose you think Obama/ Biden is a well run party/ Presidency??? WOW.
