Obama rhetoric? LOL its more like Pat Buchanan. Pat knows ol bushy boy pulled the biggest foreign policy blunder in U.S history and we will be paying for it for the next hundred years. Pat along with a bunch of Conservative economists get the numbers and know the bushwhacker bankrupted the country.

I miss George Bush and would vote for him again. He is a good honest man, a hunter, and gun collector.

That's a load of trash based on a left wing analysis. They get that number by changing the base line in a number of key assumptions. Well, if you change it for the Bush number you have to change it for the obama number.

Here is the real number, apples to apples comparison Bush to Obama as reported by obama's Friends over at liberal CBS news! Read it and weep .

$9 trillion when Bush left its now $16 trillion under your buddy O.

First O is not my buddy.
Second if you read the chart you would have noticed it started in the last quarter of 2008. You do know Obama started in office February 2009! You know this right? The 2009 budget was passed in 2008! Do you know this? This is not a new fact and has always been that way. Moneys spent are setup the year BEFORE! Stop with the lies and get educated on the facts. Spend 1 hour reading the CBO reports and turn off the TV.

Yes, I know that Bush owned the 1st 21 days of 2009. So lets pro rate those 21 days of the 365 in 2009 and give that debt to Bush

. It does not change the numbers. Its year ending data. What, is this the first chart you've ever seen? Its still the same. Obama has amassed more debt that all prior presidents combined. The debt is now at $16 trillion thanks to obama, the president you support.

And I'm not watching TV for this, the link I gave you if off the WWW. You do know the TV if different than the WWW....

Are you saying that Obama as president and a democrat controll of both Houses on Nov 21 2009, and they still could not cut back on spending to effect a reduction in 2009? WOW! Even when obama controlls 100% of everything, that bush still gets the blame. Obama has to go, even when he has all the levers of the federal government at his complete disposal, he still cant do anything.

You've taken the hook, line and sinker Waregleguy. Obama could have proposed those budget cuts he promised and got it through Congress in a nano second. Instead, he chose to drop the spending issue and passed a near $trillion dollar spending bill and obamacare.

Admit it, the guy is a disaster and he could have taken action in early 2009 to address spending. He did not, so he owns the number. Just like bush owned the numbers he inherited from clinton.

wareagleguy · « **Reply #42 on:** August 01, 2012, 04:01:53 PM »

My last post on this because it will fall on deaf ears. NO, Obama can't just stop the spending in 2009. It takes a congressional vote and then must be signed by the president to do it. He can't just go and spend money or change spending. He can't move money around he is bound BY LAW! Now, you have made up your mind and so be it. I am not trying to change your mind about anything I am trying to educate you on some facts.

Yes I agree, he could have done that if he wanted. He could have reduced speniding if he took action. He did not, he is at fault. He said during his campaign he was going to reduce spending as priority ONE. He lied and you are helping to advance that lie.

Go ahead, keep making excuses for obama. I noticed you wont afford same for bush and what carried over to him nor should we.

Its the typical obama excuse machine, endlessly....endlessly.....it never ends with the obama/democrat/liberal puppets.

Typical left wing response. I'm not defending bush, I could car less about bush. You & Wearealguy are defending obama and think you throw the real attention away from this horrible president. Not sure if your aware, but the upcoming election is between obama and romney! not bush!
This is obama's economy, job market and budget nightmare, not bush's anymore and the numbers prove it. obama is the president now, no matter how many times you leftist obama lovers want to tell us otherwise.

You guys love to throw the bush name at any issue related to the massive failure of obama to try and divert attention away from the real problem.

Ignore the facts all you want. And, yes that is the best I can come up with for you. If you want to provide some data, I can respond to that. But all you offered was well, a typical left wing response that is completely void of the obama record and the real facts.

Maybe you want to respond to this factual piece of data with some facts?

BCarp · « **Reply #50 on:** August 05, 2012, 04:01:53 AM »

The numbers shown in the initial post have been debunked. Obama's near-trillion dollar "stimulus" bill, plus the uber-expensive health-care law, both passed in 2009, should be tallied against him, and were not part of Bush's last fiscal 2009 budget, obviously. Saying that the fiscal 2010 budget (Obama's first) was his initial spending is totally misleading.

SHOOTALL · « **Reply #51 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:56:06 AM »

Forget the spending BS first you have to have wealth to spend . Its created debt ! second how many have seen a reduction in take home pay ? how many have seen an incresae in food cost ? medical cost ? fuel cost ? or housing cost ? and lost homes ? these are the things people can see and understand . Its how most judge a president . So the producers have seen negative ansewers to those questions while non producers who live off freebies from govt.ave seen it in a positive way ( mo freebies ) . So it boils down to what direction our country will go in. Will the govt. govern in way that promotes industry and working or one that promotes incourages people to stop working and wait for govt. to take care of them. I can't understand for the life of me where people think money will come from ? Money comes from wealth . Printing money is not wealth its debt. So taking the wealth from citizens and causing others to not seek wealth makes little sense really . And that is what most see of O when they open their eyes . Ony a lazy fool would want to take from the wealthy to give to the lazy.

Just in case anybody was interested. This site has info on our debt all the way back to the beginning of our country. Pretty interesting reading. One of the most amazing things I found out was that the last time out debt went down from one fiscal year to the next was during the Dwight D Eisenhower presidency. That leads me to the question.....just what surplus did George W Bush squander?

Cabin4 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:46:46 AM »

Here is the answer to your question about Bush:

There are 2 key budget numbers we hear about:

1. The annual budget deficit:This the amount the federal government spends more than it takes in, in same fiscal year from tax revenue. Annual Tax revenue less spending in same year = deficit. This negative or posative balance gets applied to the debt.

2. Federal debt: This is the net-debt the federal government has ammased from all the combined annual deficits. Basically, this is the amount unpaid on the credit card as they say...

When Bush took office he inherited a surplus with item 1. During the second Clinton term, the annual federal budget was in a surplus mode so they actually starting paying down on item 2. During the Bush years, this annual surplus turned into a deficit, and we starting just adding to the credit card balance.

Obama has accelerated the annual deficit in every year and has contributed the largest contribution to the federal debt than all other presidents combined.

kinslayer1965 · « **Reply #54 on:** August 07, 2012, 11:36:43 AM »

Not sure how they could have been paying down the debt when the debt increased every year clinton was in office.

Cabin4 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 07, 2012, 12:29:44 PM »

I'd have to look into that. Honestly I have not looked at those numbers for a while. It may very well could have been a forward looking (out year forecast) budget surplus projection and not an actual annual result.

Cabin4 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2012, 12:34:01 PM »

According to the CBO

kinslayer1965 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 08, 2012, 04:40:33 AM »

I still have a difficult time figuring out how there can be a surplus when the debt continued to increase every year while clinton was in office. Sounds like fuzzy math to me.

You guys don't stop to consider that the current admin had to still pay for two wars and all its side effects that Obama wouldn't have started in the first place and the huge tax break that we cant afford for the filthy rich. The bank and wall street bailouts were started under Bush and continued by Obama. Lets see Bush drug plan Obamas health care fashioned after Romnneys Mass health care plan? They all sound like liberals to me. I would vote for Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan if I had the chance but the big money machine wont let that happen.
