You obamidiots can try all the revisionism you want, but unfortunately, there's more than ample evidence to refute your lies.
Explain the chart then.

Just a few of his accomplishments so far - click the link for more.

How low can we go?
I am with you and failed to find one thing in that group that he hasn't accomplished up to now. Quite a record, it seems to me.

I didn't see any mention of the fact that he took the per family debt from about $18,000 to $80,000 by today. The worst part of that is that every family in the nation is counted there and some of them don't pay any income taxes so the rest of us owe much more than the $80,000. Won't it be fun watching as our grand children and great grand children try to pay off that debt.

Wouldn't it be nice if more of us cared about that debt that they added another $412 billion to today? Spend, spend, spend and buy votes with the little ones' money.

I think the $787 billion may be on that chart but today's $412 billion isn't. You have to hurry to include all his numbers. Comparing 50 days with 8 years may be too much, though.

i do think that some of you need to think about what happens every day as some new spend program goes into effect.

It stuns me that people say Obama's actions thus far in office and the Dow have no correlation.
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) released a taxpayer timeline of President Obama's first 50 days in office, what was said/done, and how the market reacted - interesting and worth reading.

BTW - From ATR site:

Can't believe it - Pat Boone of all people is calling for a tea party - Boston Tea Party style.

It's time for the tea party to start – right now. http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=90948

Ok Roy, explain the debt being payed off in the Clinton years only to skyrocket in the Bush years. That was my question to sunklhammer.

Excellent link Vec101.

They are in complete denial, that's how.

They would rationalize any way possible to defend him.

You mean these guys that only agenda is fighting taxes? They are a lobby to lower taxes regardless.

Did you read the article? It was a timeline of statements/actions by Obama/the Feds and the Dow. It was not an opinion piece. So what does it matter who composed the info? The facts are the facts. Which BTW, it was an article by PRNewswire-USNewswire
