The envious are getting more envious. I remember studying the European progression from socialism to war. Why does Europe continue the socialist failure to wars. We don't. Canada doesn't. Why is the US following Europe into it?

Europe did not follow socialism to war....it followed social injustice to war. The haves and the have nots. Exploit the struggling people and tell them the reason for their woes

The Obama budget deficits originated during the Bush presidency... 1. Tax cuts 2001-2002 (4 trillion over 10 years)

According to the White House's Office of Management and Budget, during his eight fiscal years, Bush ran up a total of $3.283 trillion in deficit spending (p. 22). In his first two fiscal years, Obama will run up a total of $2.826 trillion in deficit spending ($1.294 trillion in 2010, an estimated $1.267 trillion in 2011 (p. 23), and the $265 billion in "stimulus" money that was spent in 2009). Thus, Bush ran up an average of $410 billion in deficit spending per year, while Obama is running up an average of $1.413 trillion in deficit spending per year — or $1.003 trillion a year more than Bush. President Barack Obama expects the federal budget deficit to reach $1.33 trillion this fiscal year(2012).

And, we still have the "Bush tax cuts" three years into the Obama regime.

2. Prescription drug benefits (1 trillion over 10 years)

Obama care increased the coverage of Part D, and will increase the cost to the government as it is phased in.

3. Economic meltdown of 2008 ( 3 trillion and rising)

Selling houses to those who can't pay for them does that.

4. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (2 trillion and winding down)

Obama tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan, but he did follow the Bush agreement with the Iraq government and pull the troops out of Iraq. (and take credit for it) Too bad his lack of negotiating skills didn't allow some troops to stay and help restore order after all of the lives and treasure we spent.

More bad news for Republicans....

The Dow just passed 13,000.

 

[Mr. H.]

More bad news for Republicans....

The Dow just passed 13,000.

The bad news is voters will interpret this as an indication of Obama's leadership qualities.

More bad news for Republicans....

So Bush was right to want to allow for partial privatization of Social Security

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 8 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 22 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.

Obama has done a very good job.

Yes, that jives with the fact that on Feb 1st, 2013, he won't be the POTUS anymore.

It is unfortunate that whatever experimentation was done on you left you unable to have original thoughts.

There was no 'Great Depression" in the offing. It never would have happened. Obama didn't save us from anything but the recovery.

He played favorites outside the fundamental premise of government and the law. GM is was just a bribe to the unions.

His health care bill is about to wind up in the ash can.

GDP is sluggish...growth means nothing if it isn't enough.

Unemployment is worse than it's ever been since the 30's. What's worse is they way the lie about it.

He did get Bin Laden....

He did get Kadafi....

Bush got Hussein (so what ?).

Obama has been an abysmal leader and it shows in the way the young people feel he has let them down.

He's toast in November.

Of course he was.

But Chris and Co. will never admit it.
