Anyone else find it funny that old "Mr. Tax-and-Spend-Liberal-Democrat-Marxist-Communist" Bill Clinton left his 2 terms in office with over a $560 billion dollar federal surplus, approval ratings in the high 60s, while Dumbya Boosh will leave office with a trillion dollar federal deficit and a devastated economy?
For 8 whole years in the 1990s, Repubs always claimed Bill Clinton was a communist (just like they claim Obama is now), shouting in bug-eyed hysterics "SOCIALISM!" and "MARXIST"!!
So if "Marxist communism" means smaller government, balanced budgets, federal surpluses, competent governance, and respect in the world, then what does that say about the "conservative principles" of the GOP posterboy George W. Bush and his "conservative" Republican Congress he had that helped him rack up spending and deficits?
Isn't this more proof that conservative Republicans--when you really get down to it--have no idea what they're babbling about?

Clintons surplus was an accounting scam that had nothing to do with his Presidency except he stayed ouyt of the way(Thank God for Newt). W has spent alot and more than I think was necessary. He had alot of dirty work to do so we kind of had to give him the checkbook.

So let me guess: Bush's $600 billion federal deficit is also an "accounting scam", too, right?
Face it: liberals have now become the fiscal conservatives.
Conservatives are now just bible-thumpers.

lol wait 6 months from now and lets see if that is the case with no concept of money Pelosi/Reid Congress.
Dont confuse speeches with action if you do look at Pelosis voting record in last 2 yrs you would think it was Dick Cheney ofcourse while singing a diff song.
The new President is going to have his hands full but dont see Reid and Pelosi as fiscal conservatives nor helping him much

I don't see 6 months as near enough time to undo 8 years of misleadership and fiscal irresponsibility.
Congres passes the spending bills BEFORE they go to the President. Last time I checked Congress has been Democrat for the last two years, and before that very evenly matched. Bush should have vetoed the spending though.
