This year, the government will borrow 46 cents of every dollar it spends.  I don't even need to say another word.

Debt
Yes we are now so much better off than we were. When Bush left we owed about 440 billion, now we owe trillions. What an improvement. That stimulus is really kicking in. I heard the marsh mouse has had a dramatic impovement in his lifestyle. For all of you Obama fawning fools you had better do the math. We are getting further and futher in the tank.

eight years?
History is now reduced to only 8 years - seems a tiny bit shortsighted.

.46 for every $1
That's all??????? He asked with great incredulity!!!!!!!

What a bargain; sacrifice my liberty and personal financial control (among other things), for only .46?????

Sorry, but that price tag is both too low and far too high.

Oh Rachel, Poor Rachel
What mess? The housing debacle (i.e., subprime loans) were not the idea of the Bush administration, but we have been over this and over this time and time again. There is really no point to arguing with you.

To take your point at face value for just a moment though, are you saying that putting this country into debt we have NEVER seen before is a good idea and is actually fixing any problems?

Poor Rachel!!!!!!!

Pat, Rachel is not "poor", Soros is
paying her a lot of money to continuously ignore facts and spew nonsense. How do I know that she is paid? Well, no one could really be that stupid, could they?

Say it loud, say it proud!:


Obama's done in 4, if not before!








So far, our Celebrity-In-Chief gets an overwhelming "F."


In his first 100 days, our Celebrity-In-Chief recklessly spent away our kids' futures, cozied up to Communist dictators across the globe, released classified prisoner abuse documents guaranteed to kill Americans and embolden our enemies, flip-flopped on major issues like tax cuts and military tribunals, and TERRORIZED New Yorkers on a clear spring day.


This guy is not an American President, he's an American MENACE.





Say it loud, say it proud!:


Obama's done in 4, if not before!

RACHEL
Please explain how tripling the Bush deficit solves the deficit problem. I will forward your explanation to all the reality based economists who do not understand how going into debt three times as much as we already are is going to get us out of debt. Also, it was government policy initiated by progressives that got the ARM meltdown spiral started and the failure of government to apply regulations already in existence to stop Wall Street from going into this 'investment' area (See Tim Geithner for his explanation about why he failed to moniter and correct these activities while he was head of the NY Fed), then the progressives blocked changes to prevent the collapse when Bush tried to get something done before the great collapse. Democrats in the government are at the root of the entire economic mess. How does more government by the perpetrators of the mess, solve the mess? Isn't Bernie Madoff a Dem? Please RSVP with your detailed explanations of all these matters.

At first I did not think anyone could be that stupid either but now I realize that apparently they can. As I read some of these posts from the fawning Obama followers I realize I was wrong. These same stupid people will continue to defend him as our country goes down the tubes. When that happens they will be shocked. Really sad.

Stop blaming your father for everything that is supposedly wrong in your life.

Continuation of the worst of Bush...
...So president god Hussein is forced to continue the worst of pres. W's policies, and it's the fault of Bush/Chenney? LMAO. Oh, that's a good one! So, I guess Karl Rove is manipulating pres. Hussein the same way he manipulated W?

Oh, rabid, wretched Rachel, you are priceless. The RNC is getting its money's worth out of you. Keep it up!
