I dont think anyone can rationally argue that Obama has not spent an ungodly amount of money and achieved little for it. I think bush WORSE spending year was maybe a 400-500 billion deficit? Obama is 1 trillion + EVERY YEAR.

Bush inherited a surplus (that wasnt really a surplus) from clinton, but then we had 9/11 and an immediate recession when .com bubble burst. then Katrina.

you realize Obama has had no major terrorist attack or natural disaster YET.

The fact bush averaged 4-5% during his term despite those problems, is hard to argue against.
