Wake Up and Smell the Obamanomics

Okay, I am going out on a limb here, at the risk of upsetting my emotional friend, Senator Gint. Aside from Romney, the current roster of republican candidates are UNELECTABLE. More so, if Mitt is NOT nominated, or HERMAN CO-CAINE, I will be voting for Prezident O’bama again.

Ask me why, I fucking dare you.

First of all, Bachmann is an idiot on a wide array of issues. Do I really need to delve into detail, seriously? Rick Perry is a bible toting simpleton, who will endorse BIG fucking oil, as if that shit was oxygen. Plus anyway, didn’t he run Al Gore’s Texas campaign many moons ago? I say NO to RINOS every time. And, let’s not ignore his asinine comments on the beloved BEARDED CLAM. Take issue with me on this, I don’t give a fuck. I will NOT vote for anyone who is hating on the Fed. For the love of half bibles and abandoned churches, the Fed is all we have here on Wall Street. Fuck these politicians.

I would LOVE to say President Co-caine, over and over again. Herman is a mathematician and majored in Physics. He is like Obama, but only smarter and knows shit about life, and business. He wants to eliminate cap gains. Okay, maybe that didn’t hit you right away, so I’ll say it again. He wants to put capital gains taxes at ZERO percent, FOREVER. And, to boot, he wants to lower income tax to 25%, again permanently. Sadly, the media treats him like he is the former owner of a fucking chicken restaurant.

Santorum wants to arrest women who abort babies conceived by way of rape, as does Bachman. These fuckers don’t recognize that DNA can be transferred from one person to the next, because, well, God makes everyone, right? These fucking religious zealots are insane.

Lastly, there is Mitt. He is our final hope. However, the fucking hillbillies don’t like him because he’s a mormon and likes to keep 4-5 wives around, doing the dishes, baking him banana bread.

Just like last election, I will vote against the republicans for fielding such a stupid roster. They do not deserve to win. Obama is the worst President since Bush II and he will win thanks to the pathetic state of the GOP.

Out with business minded people, in with the fucking bible teachers.

Fuck off.

      So interesting that all the major blog owners that get traffic are anti-Paul and pro-central banker, despite that central bankers make Hitler look like a girl scout.

      Anyone who knows their history and has a glimmer of human compassion will be against unelected central banker control.

      Elected — as in real unmanipulated voting and lack of manpulated public perception — central bankers I am fine with. As long as we hang the existing ones and replace them, first.

      Of course Mitt is a total Northeastern Republican RINO.

      This is why the brain-washed Monsier Le Doctuer finds him acceptable. He’s a smidge better than McCain, politically, but way smarter and a good businessman.

      I would hold my nose and vote for him, despite Obomneycare, (a feature, not a bug for Le Monsieur).

      Perry is head and shoulders the only one who will survive the nomination, however.

      So solly.

        fwiw: Perry 2012:
        “But where’s the net gain? If those voters aren’t united next November, we’re having this friendly little conversation for nothing anyway, because Obama will be re-elected in a landslide no matter who runs against him. “Not Obama” will be their candidate of choice, whether the alternative is Perry or somebody else.

        Texas, as the story goes, has led the nation in job creation, and as the story continues, it’s because Texas government is limited, pro-business and fosters economic development. While it’s true that Texas has, indeed, created new jobs, it’s equally true that they’re relatively low-wage and that the state’s recent unemployment rates are also higher than they’ve been since the early 1990s.”

    nice write up.

    the most important thing to any society is probably, guessing here, its economic situation. better economy, happier people, guessing.

    co-caine sounds like a perfect candidate. perfect. he doesn’nt have a chance. people are pissed off right now because the economy is in the toilet, so they are looking for people to be angry at. So they blame the government spending a few extra trillion a year for the economy being bad, as if somehow more money getting spent into the economy is going to hurt it.

    Its not the housing bubble, not the tech bubble, not the post-lehman crisis or even the europeans being a pack of complete butt nuggets, but the desire of the american people, in their anger (probably generally over a bad economy) for revenge. They seem bent on getting that revenge on… themselves, by making the problem worse.

    Its a fairly amazing circus to behold.

      and, yes, obama and bush II were a couple of remarkably bad presidents back to back.

      but this whole bad economy and crisis began earlier, in the clinton days, when, for the 7th time in american history that the government ran a meaningful budget surplus. The first 6 led to our 6 economic depressions. We are in the aftermath of the 7th…

      So I have an idea. If 7 times in a row someting turned out really, really bad, there is absolutley no reason to not go for an 8th try.

      Each time the cycle has been the same. BY ACCOUNTING FACT, not theory, the ability of US citizens to save in dollars or equivalents is equal to the gov’t deficit less the trade deficit, if any. When private capacity to save goes negative, citizens tend to take on debt to maintain their standard of living, which then leads to an implosion when the debt becomes excessive. Seem familiar?

      But, anyway, lets go run a huge government surplus for like the next 20 years, reduce the debt to zero, like Senator Ryan suggested, because I’m sure the 8th time is the charm… not.

          With respect, a little bit of a different view. Keep in mind, I’m completely agnostic from a political view in saying this. In 1993, we ran a deficit of $300 billion and the DOW touched about 3700. Over the next 7 years, that was reduced and a surplus was built in 2000. Through that time, the DOW steadily rose and hit 11,500. In 2003, the surplus was wiped out and we went to -378 billion. DOW then hit a low of 8k and didn’t break above 10,500 that year. In 2007, the defecit was the lowest since 2002 and that’s when the DOW was at all time highs. Since then, the defecit has only increased and we haven’t been able to get back to 2007 highs.

          Certainly not suggesting that there aren’t other forces in play, but perhaps it does suggest the market likes when our checkbook isn’t completely unblanced and we somewhat have our fiscal shit together. Not that we have to run a surplus, but perhaps it’s the difference between controlled spending and out of control spending.

            Deficit is a function of both spending and revenues.

            When the economy is bad:
            –revenues decline
            –counter-cyclical spending (unemployment insurance, Medicaid, etc.) increases
            –stock prices decline

            Deficits don’t automatically cause lower stock prices, especially when deficits result from the gov’t flooding the financial system with liquidity.

          No, you’re right. Let’s absorb a $70 trillion liability into a $15 trillion annual GDP while our population ages and gets increasingly less skilled in tandem.

            none of this is anything that can’t be managed. The US Government cannot be revenue constrained, cannot run out of ability to meet liabilities in dollars, inflation is the only possible involuntary consequence.

            but lets be serious, we don’t really have much inflation right now do we? Agricultural commodities have been affected by growth in EM’s, a series of weather incidents, and record, epic, rampant speculation. Ditto oil, etc. China’s building boom isn’t keeping any prices down.

            housing? down. cars? sure aren’t up. bar tabs? not up. clothes? not up that i’ve noticed. My lawnmower was pretty cheap. restaurant prices don’t seem to be soaring.

            right now deficit spending by congress could reduce unemployment, call into use some of the enormous spare capacity in the economy (raising tax revenue and reducing costs like unemployment payments). has anybody actually calculated the actual cost to the gov’t of, say, reasonably focused infrastructure oriented stimulus? Is it even a cost? After NOT paying 100 people unemployment, getting tax revenue from those same people, from the concrete company, from the contractor. Whats it actually cost?

            What “jobs programs” have the GOP denied? The last “stimulus” went straight down the shitter to keep useless public employees in place while more efficient private sector skinnied down.

            Shit, even Teanutz knows they just BK’d a “green jobs” initiative in his own state. $500 million, down the shitter.

            He’ll probably blame that on the BogeyGOP too. Couldn’t lay that one at the Messiah’s feet… nooooo. Just plain ole “bad luck.”

            I just don’t get it. Nominal gains in the stock market from clambux = the exacerbated destruction of the middle class (though paced slowly). I like my kids too much to entrust them to Ben’s destructive machination.

            He’s busting your balls, and doubling down on the biggest disaster to hit the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson.

            And yes, I chose WW because he was worse than FDR, if you can believe it.

            I have a small poodle-schnauzer mix with an unvarying interest in her own anal glands that I’d promote for President over Obama. There is no one — or thing — that could be worse in office for another four years.

            What’s so utterly laughable is the inability of grown men to do research on their own, to own their own knowledge to the extent that they realize all the candidates will once again be central banker bitches except for Paul.

We live in a country of lemmings walking toward a cliff. All I care about is there’s someone out there willing to point out the imminent death plunge so that those of us who aren’t fucking lemmings don’t march to our death like the rest of the fucktards that inhabit this country and who believe that voting for O’bama is anything but a demonstration of mental retardation.

        My history may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure people made (and lost money) in the century when America didn’t have a central bank. In fact, I believe that was the same century when America went from a poor farming outpost to the most prosperous nation on earth. Call me crazy, but I don’t think we don’t need Soviet Style central planning of the money supply by a bunch of boobs who have been wrong about every single prediction they’ve ever made. But again, caveat emptor, I’m crazy.

          EXACTLY! And you pay those boobs shitloads to screw you. The same guys who own your centra bank own essentially the rest of them too. So about 34% of interest portion of every US tax dollar (more actually), goes toward some fucking guys who have a monopoly on the creatio of money.

          Ever ask yourself why you can’t buy shares in a privately owned centra bank? Or start your own?

    It is true that the current crop of candidates is not ideal. However I will say as far as Perry goes, he stated:

    “I promise I will work everyday to make Washington DC as inconsequential in your lives as I can.”

    That is a helluva campaign slogan. I like it.

    I’ve always liked Cain. Great man. He just can’t win. Nor can Paul. Nor can Santorum. That said, I always vacillated on the rape/abortion issue. His explanation made sense to me. Bachmann should stay in the House or run for the Senate.

    Rasmussen’s recent poll of likely GOP voters showed that Perry was ahead by 29% and 18% was not sure. That indicates that nearly half the likely GOP voters want something different than what they are being provided. Perry has only been in the race 3 days and has garnered attention.

    There is still room for someone of substance like Paul Ryan entering the race. He can articulate the fiscal message like none other. He might be a player.

    An ideal ticket would be Marco Rubio/Paul Ryan. If Obama wins in 2012 count on it for 2016.

    Four more years of Obama would be disastrous for this country. His regulations and policies are choking this country. Anyone will be better than him. If you want a four year repeat of the last four years, with a final farewell slash and burn of capitalism, freedom and liberty, then by all means Obama is your man.

        The baby is a life. It was not it’s fault that it was conceived by rape. Take one heinous act and compound it with another. Awesome. Takes more courage and compassion to give birth than it does to throw it away. It’s astonishing how little our society values life. I decided I didn’t want to be part of that herd. I can see no moral grounds to killing an innocent (emphasis on innocent) life…just because it’s inconvenient to give birth. I reject that liberal bullshit thinking.

          You conservatives, at times, are hilarious. I bet that you’d be thrilled bringing a child to this earth that happened to be a product of a crime against your significant other. It’s easy to be an armchair conservative, and repeat nonsense all day long. But when it comes down to it, if you were in the position, you’d want to abort in a heartbeat.

          It’s not at all fair to force a grown woman to have a child conceived by rape. Sorry, but given the option, I’d save the life/sanity of a real person vs a cluster of cells.

    Fly can you please give us your real opinion on Ron Paul. If you stop and actually think about the long term economic (and PHILOSOPHICAL) inflection point we have reached, Ron Paul is the moral choice (and you have shown us your soft side on occasion as pertaining to non market related issues). The man was concerned that monetary policy would lead us to this point back in the SEVENTIES, it was his reason for getting into politics. He called the housing bubble in 2003. If this isn’t his year then America is over. The stars seem to be aligning for him.

    I also don’t see how this whole “trading will cease as an activity” will play out. Even if there will be a multi-year bear market (which is happening anyway), its nothing that hasn’t happened in the past.

    I agree, Fly. Obama is a bad president. He is not practical. But he is at least intelligent– if only in the academic sense. He is less bad than having a religious nutcase president who is also a mental retardate.

    I wish there would be some good person running for pres who would refuse to accept campaign donations from any Special Interest Groups. And Congressional candidates like that too.

    Fly – that shit makes me sick. That’s the last thing I expected to hear from you.

    Before you said was time to finally fix the US and the problems that are spiraling out of control.

    Now you go and say, under ANY circumstance, that you would vote to reelect the most fiscally irresponsible president the US has ever seen while defending the bigger problem – CLAM.

    I get that your objective is to make money – but at what point are you willing to sacrifice the longevity of your country’s health? What problem has ever gone away permanently by continuously kicking the can?

    Honestly disappointing.

      Yea that’s what I’m saying. I don’t get it. We saw one post during the debt ceiling debate about finally addressing the issue, but now he’s back on the QE train.

        Back on the QE train for a reason. You can’t do austerity and deficit reduction during a Depression. If you do, you will never emerge from it. I know, Von Mises and Ron Paul say it will work out– but it only works out in their dreams, not in the real world.

          Under a debt based system you might be right, but we are coming to the end of that either through acknowledgement and accepted transition, or through severe societal collapse. I think Ron Paul offers the former. The system is breaking down because it is inherently unsustainable.

          Great Frog,

          QE has clearly had a lasting impact in the real world. Look at all the organic growth it provided!

          The market is way ahead of where it was when QE II started, plus our broad economic indicators are absolutely thriving!

          Love the logic. The philosophy you share with Krugman has done absolute wonders when applied outside of the dream state.

    Herman Cain is running on the Fair Tax, which advocates zero income tax, cap gains tax, social security, etc for everyone. It would be replaced by a national 23% sales tax. It’s an interesting idea for tax reform. Wikipedia it.

          Caine’s great, but the 23% sales tax is a non-starter. You couldn’t implement it without getting rid of the 16th Amendment first, and you’d have to send out liquidation teams to take out the tax-eaters who would vote against such a lunch-stealer til their last corpulent breath has been expelled.

          You are much better off with a Flat Tax that is spread across a broader spectrum so you capture a big part of the 50% freeloader segment.

      Speaking of Special Interests, someone named Fly just said:

      “Rick Perry is a bible toting simpleton, who will endorse BIG fucking oil, as if that shit was oxygen.”

      That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about. Also things like Obamacare which is a giant giveaway to the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries at taxpayer expense.

      OK, so Special Interests have their place. But they should not dictate everything while voters and taxpayers constantly get screwed.

    Agreed, Fly. However I will add one thing. If they don’t primary Mitt then don’t vote. But please whatever you don’t don’t vote for Odumbo even if it means sitting this one out.

    In any event it doesn’t matter, as you live in a Dem state.

    Fucking moron Perry is calling the Fed treasonous now? The Clam was the only thing between where the country/world is now and going back to the stone age.

    The trouble is, you have a bunch of morons going to You Tube, watching some idiot with a baseball bat beat the shit out of a clam-like pinata because the US is not on a gold standard and think that’s monetary policy.

      Probably didn’t see that he had a double digit lead on Romneycare as per Rasmussen today.

      Romney — already handicapped by being a Northeaster liberal-type (youtube is tough) — is el Smoko.

            Yeah. He’s a smart guy, but too much Romneycare baggage, unfortunately.

            Repubs realize that they can’t get a fair shot at the worst political decision since the Great Society if they have a candidate who’s quasi-backed a similar program.

            They need a clean conservative, and I think Perry’s the only one left standing. I’d love to see Perry-Caine, but they will probably force Romney on him.

            Won’t be such a bad thing, as Romney can be an actual working Veep, unlike what we have now.

      WHO THE FUCK VOTED FOR BACHMANN in the straw polls? Who are these people?

        The straw polls are not real political voting events, J, they are FUNDRAISERS.

        In other words, they mean nothing. You get enough of your supporters to show up in Ames Iowa and they buy tickets to the dinner, YOU WIN.

        Guess what? Michelle Bachmann is from Iowa originally. Ron Paul’s wackies follow him everywhere like Deadheads following Jerry.

        Is this starting to make some sense now?

        From the Ames Straw Poll Wikipedia Entry:

        The poll takes place among attendees of a fundraising dinner benefiting the Iowa Republican Party. Before the vote, each candidate is given a chance to make a short speech to the attendees.

        The poll has been described as a cross between a political convention and a county fair, where Iowa voters have a chance to mingle, eat barbecue and have a little fun. The party divides the venue into sections and auctions each to the candidates, who can then set up booths to present their case to the voters. The larger areas and those closest to the entrance often fetch the highest price. In 2011 bidding started at $15,000 and ranged to as high as $31,000 (bid by Ron Paul). [3]

        Non-Republicans are allowed to vote in the Ames Straw Poll. However, all voters must be at least 16 1/2 years of age, be legal residents of the state of Iowa or a student attending an Iowa university/college, and purchase a ticket priced at $30, however some campaigns pay the fee for their supporters.[4] Voters have their hands stamped or their thumbs dipped in ink when entering the voting area so that they cannot vote twice. Ballots are put into electronic voting machines.

      The GOPICP is simply the bitter fruit of the cynical, evangelical-coddling, extremist positioning tactics employed so successfully by Grover Norquist, Turd Blossom, Ralph Reed et al. that brought the GOP victory in the Bush years (plus the House in the 112th, and a few other small majorities in flyover municipalities populated by mouthbreathers). But then that momentum kept on going toward the evangelical right, until even Turd Blossom started getting publicly nervous about losing control of it…and he did. And lo, the Tea Party was born, in all its extremist, far out, insane clown posse magnificence. Now you can’t even come close to getting any juice in the GOP unless you’re a complete whackjob. Serves them right. Live by the sword, die by the sword, bitchez. May they lose every single fucking contest until they come to their senses and start acting like normal people.

    Debating politics today a friend of mine proposed that the President is elected to a single 8 year term. While that would mean we’d have Obama for 8 years, it also means he wouldn’t be running for reelection or kissing everyone’s ass or paying off campaign promises to special interests or gearing up for the next ballots.

    With a single 8 year term the President could come in and effect real change and say fuck you to any special interest groups. Once elected, he could set a direction and make things happen. Everytime I turn on the TV our POTUS is doing another fucking townhall defending his latest bitchfest with Congress. If he were in for 8 years he could confidently state, I’M HERE MOTHERFUCKERS, LET’S GET SHIT DONE. FUCK YOUR BUS TOURS.

    I would vote for that. I like to think Obama would have been different if he weren’t in campaign mode 24/7.

    This election like all national elections will not be decided in New York or California but in the Midwest.

    The ideal ticket would be Paul Ryan Ron Paul or Paul Ryan Mark Rubio.

    Adult E-trade babies cry for more claim juice, serious people know we need to address structural jobs issues and a sustainable monetary and fiscal policy unless you want everyone unemployed trading their unemployment checks after logging into IBC. Right now grandmas are being forced to trade / look for yield since the banks are borrowing at 0% and parking reserves back at the fed for a nice risk free return while savings accounts and short term treasuries are essentially negative real returns. All of the government intervention including when they decide to and not decide to juice the markets makes investing anything but based on fundamentals. It just becomes what will Bernanke do, as liquidity floats or sinks all boats.

    Intelligent design is infinitely more intelligent than a hypothesis that all the complexity, patterns, and systems including 100 trillion cells perfectly put together (the human body) spontaneously came from nothing and is self organizing with perfect order. When Darwin created his hypothesis, it was before we knew spontaneous generation was not correct and you couldn’t get organic from inorganic material (they thought flies came from garbage because they didn’t have microscopes). Ironically, spontaneous generation was proven incorrect after Darwin but it didn’t effect evolution?

    The human mind is the most advanced intelligence in the universe and we can barely understand how perfectly everything works together, yet something less intelligent than mankind (dust explosion) created everything against the current laws of the universe (thermodynamics). We are still pulling up fish from the deep that were thought extinct in the fossil record “50 million years ago” but they have not changed over that time period. Human footprints have also been found next to dinosaur footprints while supposed transition species like ape skulls have been proven to be frauds.

    So if we add a bunch of zeros to the number of years all the laws of the universe can be magically suspended. People that say if you leave monkeys in a room for long enough, they will create the entire works of Shakespeare. Those people are ignorant and gullible morons and should visit the zoo. A tornado going through a junk yard creating a fully functioning Boeing 747 is a piece of cake compared to an explosion creating a fully functioning human being. How many tornadoes have created construction rather than destruction?

    DNA is a blueprint language and language is a marker of intelligence (and intelligent design). 1:1.618 is the pattern of beauty, a mathematical repeating pattern throughout nature, spiral arms of galaxies, etc. Closer to the sun we burn, father we freeze and plants are in symbiosis with animals in exchanging oxygen and CO2. Animals like the woodpecker with shock absorbers in the brain, extra long tongue, special claws and special beak for getting through tree bark only make sense from a systems perspective not slow changes as survival of the fittest would have doomed individual variations like choking on a long tongue. But this is all just random?

    Judging by history and the people of today we may be devolving consistent with thermodynamics. We are advanced from the perspective of technology and collaboration but individuals like Sir Francis Bacon and Newton lived hundreds of years ago (truly brilliant minds).

    I have no primates swinging from my family tree. Think for yourself independently, and you will feel and know that in your heart that this is the voice of reason. The majority of people believe in “God” so an intelligent business plan would include catering to the majority of customers. Evolution and intelligent design both require faith, I just find it easier to believe based on the implied intelligence in design that a higher intelligence created it rather than dust. People that believe themselves nothing more than animals are easily controlled.

    We will settle this disagreement and determine the winner when our life insurance policies are triggered.

        Apocalypse now I suspect you do in fact have apes swinging from your family tree, particularly, because of a suspicion that you are a creationist, bible bashing fag if I have ever heard one.

        Perhaps Senator Jake the man with the gunt can enlighten us on Darwinism and whether the fly actually came from the trash.

        These literal interpreting bible preaching fundamental Christians would have you believe so!

          Ad hominem attacks are the refuge of a weak mind.

          Intelligent design is a fact all around us in both nature and civilization. You can disagree that a higher level of intelligence was required to create the high level of intelligent design but you can not disagree with the high order of complexity and intelligence within the design itself.

          To set the record straight, evolution is a scientific theory with a hypothesis that has not been proven. Apparently some were not paying attention during their science class. If you understood science, you would know that the hypothesis needs to be proven through a repeatable experiment to observe an evolution – good luck building a universe. Cancer is an example of cellular modification, although the immune system can positively adapt, our bodies are rebuilt every 2 months (soft tissue) and every 2 years (bones) based on the architectural blueprint called DNA. Again, the departures from improper coding/communication of the DNA to the new cloned cells is called cancer.

          The strength of your cogent argument especially vulgarity and exclamation marks is very convincing, just add a few emoticons for more emotional impact.

          I never mentioned the bible, and what is simpleton view? That everything came from nothing. The philosopher and intellectual understands that is not possible with the laws of the universe. By the way religion and science can co-exist, I love science but know the difference between theory and fact. Science can answer how while religion attempts to answer why.

      “Human footprints have also been found next to dinosaur footprints while supposed transition species like ape skulls have been proven to be frauds.”

      That’s completely wrong. I’m a geologist. If God made the world 6000 years ago, he made it to look 4.6 billion years old, and included an interesting fossil record of adaptive evolution. There are no human footprints beside dinosaur footprints, and most of the great ape fossils are not frauds (though there were a few phonies about a century ago). I think things are as they appear. It doesn’t wrack my faith to believe in both God, and evolution.

        Which came first, the chicken or the egg? We now have the answer in that the protein required for the shell of an egg can only come from an adult chicken – therefore the adult chicken came first.

        Have you ever seen a human baby that if left alone could live on its own? Babies can’t feed themselves much less fend for themselves. In fact, if they are not coddled or touched they can die from a condition called failure to thrive. Babies are dependent completely on adult humans. What’s my point? Which came first, the adult human or a baby?

        This is common sense and has nothing to do with creation/evolution. We have recently witnessed a change in decay rates for periodic elements on earth from changes in the sun showing that the rate is variable bringing into question the view that decay rates from solar radiation are constant. That is one item that could change the timeline, but we were shocked to find little dust on the moon, the major river deltas should show the accumulation of millions of years of silt but they are more consistent with thousands. Arctic glaciers indicate the same with their freeze / thaw patterns occurring many times per year (ice sample layers). I do not know the age of the earth and do not claim to know it, but I question the millions figure because of the anomaly findings. I try to look at facts before deciding what to believe regardless if it fits my preconceived notions or if someone else believes it. Sometimes we don’t have all the facts and that is OK to say we don’t know it all (including in the case of evolution).

      Central bankers currently seek a one-world religion. This is the mother Earth-worshipping and central banker-friendly Gaya religion, with strong connections to Luciferianism.

      The central bankers that the non-Bible candidates support are supporting yet another religion.

      Ever hear of Lucis Trust, a leading NGO of the UN? Or the Earth Charter? They are using the religion of science to support the exaltation of the human ego. They work to destroy all other major religions at the same time.

      Do your research… this shit is not good. I’ve worked with demonologists and demons are no fucking good.

    When George Dubuya came to power he inherited a budget surplus of 300 Billion from the Clinton administration.

    When George Dubuya left office he handed Obama a budget deficit of 1.2 trillion and two unwinable wars costing the earth.

    Obama inherited a bloody mess. What leader, republican, democrat or otherwise could do better then what Mr Obama has done?

      Pleeze. The “surplus” was bullshit — only in the positive if you counted the socialist security grab.

      And Bush stepped right into day one of th Clinton Downturn/Recession after he’d left the defense forces denuded and not ready for 911. Let’s not be silly.

        Not to mention that we enjoyed an unemployment rate at around 5% for most of the Bush years (thanks in part to those evil tax cuts). Besides, wasn’t Bush’s worst year in 2008 when he had a $400billion deficit and a very left congress. 2009 to present belongs to Obama and the dems.
