Bullshit. Obama did nearly half of his spending in 09' including the Stimulus and Obamacare running at a deficit of over $1.2 trillion annually. In 08' the deficit was only $245 billion.Actually it's up to you to prove that it's an issue at all. Obama is setting records in spending, running up the debt like no other president before him. He took office when he proudly proclaimed that Bush caused the worst economy since the Great Depression yet he hasn't acted like it. He continues to spend like all of that campaign rhetoric was total bs. By the time Obama is done he will have run up the debt at least $9 trillion yet he won election claiming Bush was wasteful for running it up less than $5 trillion. The only thing that hasn't allowed Obama's spending to be worse is the fact that he was impeded by a GOP House. Who knows how much worse it would have been if he had Democrat control in Congress like he did his first 2 years when most of the massive spending took place.You neglect to point out what the personal expenses of previous White House residents wereI can't be hypocritical when I'm the one calling for spending cuts.Yes, you play it well every time you hold Obama to a higher standard than every other President. The only difference, you played the hypocrite card as well...either that or you are extremely ignorant.
Obama said before he took office that running up the debt was not only hypocritical but unpatriotic, and yet he cannot bring himself to curb his own spending. He's been living an extravagant lifestyle since he took office. More extravagant than a king or a queen, spending $1.4 billion on his own personal needs where the entire royal British family only spends a fraction of that. The entire royal family. His wife requires a makeup artist on call, a hairdresser, a wardrobe or costume expert on call, a projectionist running the White House theater on call 24/7, chefs, limos, golf trips in Hawaii, shopping trips in Spain, good God. It seems this guy has forgotten the fact that he's supposed to be a public-servant, not a Pharaoh.
But we kind of expect that out of you
Actually, Obama is spending less than any President in fifty years
Care to highlight what Obama has spent money on?
Your bullshit chart only shows 3 years of his spending and doesn't even include his first year were he set a record in deficit spending.
Close, but that was a one time expenditure of $1.2 trillion
Guess where the rest of that debt came from? Two wars, tax cuts, Medicare part D, interest on existing debt
