Yes, the almighty Obama NEVER took responsibility for any of his ASTRONOMICAL SPENDING. Like his criminal friend Rahm Emanuel famously said "You never waste a good crisis". Obama was blaming Bush for everything, including hurricanes, before Bush had even left office.

This is not true. I will post the real numbers. Let's start counting up the costs for weekly trips to Mar a lago.

Also, dude, Obama is out of office. Move on.

And Trump is going to leave us with double that to further fund a military that is already WAY over funded.

Of course, now he jet-sets around the globe, on additional taxpayer expense, and will for the rest of his life, except when he is at home in his walled off Washington DC mansion. Obama is laughing at us.
May I ask what prompted this sudden revelation? After all, we are busy with so many unsolved problems that need immediate attention and answers.
Perhaps you miss the quieter times?

I'm thrilled Obama spent what he did - otherwise we'd still by mired in the Great Recession left him by Bush (you know? back when the stock market, housing market and financial markets were ALL crashing AT THE SAME TIME and we were shedding nearly 800,000 jobs a month?). That money was well spent.
Way to go Obama!
Enjoy your retirement. It's well deserved!

No POTUS has the authority to deficit spend.

Congress controls the purse strings, always.

The debt is not an indicator of the strength of the economy.

if you're worried about our grandchildren, worry about their nutrition, affordable healthcare, affordable education, affordable housing, things like that.
i agree with you le roi, we dont have to pay off all the debt, however we do have to start paying down. we cannot continue to increase the debt continuously and expect things to continue without repercussion.

Obama is globe trotting and jet setting with Millionaires and Billionaires (unless he is in his multi million dollar walled off Washington DC mansion) CONTINUING TO BE AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE. Obama is like a STD, never really going away. Or grand children are on the hook for Obamas debt.
