lol, sometimes the jokes are funnier 30 years later

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

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.

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

I want a T-shirt that says “I blame Oliver”

…thus endeth the moment of sanity and good will….

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.

Bill the Cat for President!!!

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. 

RTD64 has ODS.

@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.

Surprise, Oliver! It turns out that it was not impossible.

Kilroy for prez………

The liberals have still got us brainwashed about Bush while hiding the stupid things Obama has done.

Wow this strip looks really stupid now doesn’t it? It reminds me of the nonsense we’re hearing this year about the repub. candidates.

Vote anything but D or R

@starbase: Yeah, and from their own mouths, too.

@towerwarlock Guessing you get your information off FOX “news”.

When deciding how to vote, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils.

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.

Well now tht explains how Bushjr got there……

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 ….
