So, I guess it’s OK to lie in these comments? Then Obama has completely abolished deficit spending,a nd paid off most of Bush’s debt. But of course that’s not true either. But Obama’s three years is about the same as Bush’s last four alone. And in terms of constant dollars, yours is an even bigger lie. But that doesn’t excuse either one of them.
Y’know boys and girls, arguing over which President is the worst by rise in deficient spending is beyond silly. Talk to Congress. And the bad mouthing of either President makes me sick. So tired of hearing that Bush is a criminal or Obama isn’t an American. Fine, you don’t like them, but that doesn’t make them criminals. Grow up.
The debt in 2008 was about 10 trillion. For Obama to have multiplied the debt 10 fold would mean it would have to be 100 trillion now, and it isn’t – not even close.
You said: “…a President who, in 3 years, added more to the national debt that every other president combined, INCLUDING BUSH” That is completely false: The national debt in January 2012: $14.79 trillion. In Jan, 2009 when Obama took office: $11.13 trillion. Increase: $3.66 trillion. In January 2001, when Bush Jr. took office: $5.774 trillion. Increase in the national debt during Bush’s tenure: $5.36 trillion, which is clearly more than $3.66 trillion.
@towerwarlock: Fortunately, a double negative still doesn’t make a positive. In other words, having a raving idiot spout lies doesn’t make them truths. Some of us actually bother to check the facts.
Please! You people must realize that ALL politicians are corrupt! We need to fire them all, rewrite the Constitution, and start all over again from scratch! The end.
I find it puzzling how voters can expect a new president to resolve a mess in 3 years that has been developing over the past 20 years under both administrations. “Deregulate the banks” they said ….

I wish. We are still paying for the national dalliances with the Bush crime family, and will be for quite some time.

I’m really tempted to say something, but it’s political enough around here already.
