Come on! Obama can change all of that in an instant, only if he wanted to.

1. Stop spending money we don't have!

You think that if he inherited a pristine economy like Bush did he would have? GMAMFB!!!

Not to mention... if Bush hadn't squandered Clinton's surplus, it would be money we do have.

The Democrats suck so much at playing defense. And offense. It's pretty frustrating.
Many of us were just as pissed off then as we are now, where were all of these appalled Dems when people compared Bush to Hitler and carrying signs of Bush with swastika and Hitler mustaches? Yeah, you weren't upset about that were you?

Obama has charisma, Hitler had charisma. When Obama went to Germany he was met with thousands of cheering fans, When Hitler made public appearances in Germany he was met with thousands of cheering fans. Hence Obama is Hitler, except he is Black and not a White Supremacist and not a Dictator and doesn't hate Jews.

I see...So Obama inherits a bad economy and his answer to fix it is to spend and spend like there is no tomorrow? How is that going to help the economy?

Lets say that you have a home and a family and you want to improve your own economy. Do you do this by increasing your credit limit and borrowing? Do you believe in spending more than what you earn?

Hitler? Naw

Woodrow Wilson with a bad hang over on a hot muggy morning, no much worse.
He will be far worse than Jimmy Carters ratings were, though. He will surpass Carter's bad rap.

There isn't enough cash printed on the planet right now to cover everything that Obama wants to spend it on.

He's working on the Dictator part and you could easily argue that he doesn't like white people.

Just like his idol Hitler. He's such a Nazi.
