While you try to imply that Obama's policies drove up spending, what do we see? We see that the spending increase per capita has risen gradually under Bush and Obama has kept it steady.
I did not mention any president by name. Didn't I say that our federal government lived off $2 trillion in 2002, and complained that we know spend almost $2 trillion more? This includes both presidents and every congress during those years.

The right-wing line is that it’s that your tax dollars are going to pay for vast numbers of green energy projects that are a waste of money. That's basically nonsense.
That is not an answer to almost doubling federal spending in ten years. you cannot nearly double federal spending while the GDP growth rate averages about 3%, and excuse it away.
It is nonsense to spend billions on some politicians personal agenda when we are experiencing "the worst economy since the great depression".
Even if social security, defense and health care costs rise, it means we need to decrease federal spending on frivolous non-critical programs and gimmicks.
Biden has been a gaff prone joke of a VP. He has been as "historic" in regards to failing at his job, as Obama has been; they deserve each other.
No one takes Biden serious, and he can't even open his mouth w/o people cringing that he will be embarrassing the president..... again. Vice presidents usually run around and do busy work, speak in scripted comments, and parrot the lines given to them by the president. O'Biden can't seem to even do that without messing it up.
As bad as devoting massive brain cells to something as idiotic and unproductive as fantasy football?
So-called "free thinkers" often inflate their own egos by convincing themselves they've got all the answers, when in truth, their research tends to reinforce their own preconceived views of what's correct and right.
My point (which may have escaped you) is that yelling at people to WAKE UP will never win you any converts to your way of thinking. It's egotistical and arrogant. People who may still be moderate or centrist and who might have considered listening to what you have to say will naturally avoid you. Frothing and shouting "wake up!" is not the way to get your ideas across.
So we are basically screwed then.....since people hate the truth
My name is Barry Hussein Soetoro from Kenya and I will be voting for Mitt Romney in 2012 election.
So will I, only to get Obama out, however, why Barry are you voting for him....what do you think he will do to better our country, seriously...personally, I think he and his other rich friends are out of touch....they will only do what Bush did, nothing really. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Rev. Wright has not advocated for the extermination or killing of anyone. The link you provided gives no indication that Rev. Wright has advocated for the extermination or killing of anyone.
Rev. Wright preaches against racial supremacy and believes in the equality of all races.
not so friend. of course he has advocated for murder. in his public broadcast sermon he did a prophecy on the rising up of the black man against the white. he says that some members of the AA community will have to be "eliminated" to accomplish this. i heard it with my own 2 ears.
this was broadcast when obama was running for office a KPBS broadcast.
your post reminds me of assertions that islam does not advocate for the murder of jews and christians.
the AA pulpit all too often get used to preach violence and hate. why else would our community be drenched in the blood of young men from black on black violence unless someone was teaching it there in the community? we are not born hating we are taught to do so.
