that is funny because McCain said the economy was fundamentally strong and obama had campaign ads made that attacked McCain for saying that so which is it.....

Considering we have a man in the white house that cannot bring himself to say one positive thing about America we should all be worried. He sucks up to our enemies, bows to foreign kings and has spent a lifetime associating with criminals, America haters, bigots and racists. No one knows anything about him and he cannot articulate anything he wants to pass. He is a liar and a narcissist that should never be trusted.

The most alarm should be focused on his desire to have a civilian force bigger and stronger than all our military.

I have a strong sense you would not recognize reality if it jumped up and bit you. EVERYTHING I stated was true about the manufactured teleprez hussein obama.

Of course it was, just like WMD, Saddam's connection to Al Queda and Obama's birth certificates right?

Obama not spending as much as the right would like you to think

The U.S. budget situation has deteriorated significantly since 2001, when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast average annual surpluses of approximately $850 billion from 2009-2012. The average deficit forecast in each of those years is now approximately $1,215 billion.

Recessions or the business cycle (37%);
Policies enacted by President Bush (33%);
Policies enacted by President Bush and supported or extended by President Obama (20%); and
New policies from President Obama (10%).

Since January, CBO has increased its current-law estimate
of the 2009 deficit by $481 billion, to $1.7 trillion (see
Table 1-3). Much of that change stems from lower esti-
mated revenues and the increased costs attributable to the
TARP. Over the 2010–2019 period, CBO has increased
its estimate of the cumulative deficit by $1.3 trillion—
mostly because of recently enacted legislation. Nearly
half of that projected increase occurs in 2010 and 2011,
largely as a result of the 2009 stimulus legislation
(ARRA).

That's what scared me.
You spoke for me too.

Anyone else feel like there are a lot of mysterious things going on behind the scenes? The media hasn't covered much news on what is going on. The healthcare thing is going nowhere. Obama's hospital operating table personality isn't helping me feel comfortable either. I feel like im living in the doctors office right now... that queasy feeling you get and all. Thats how I feel. I even saw a CNN interview the other day at the gym of them interviewing the French finance minister and having her rate our country. I was about ready to throw a weight at the TV...

Not to mention everyday I pull up google news I see that the federal government is planning to spend more money on crap. Today it was 2 billion at the police force to help train recruits better.

I just see more and more and more spending.... It's getting worrisome people
Not scared, just extremely disappointed.
