In 2008, candidate Obama had some harsh words about President George W. Bush’s fiscal policy:
The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up the national debt from 5 trillion for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.
Forget for a moment that during the Bush administration, the highest offense one could commit was to question the patriotism of the far-Left.
CBS News reported Monday:
The latest posting by the Treasury Department shows the national debt has now increased $4 trillion on President Obama’s watch.
The debt was $10.626 trillion on the day Mr. Obama took office. The latest calculation from Treasury shows the debt has now hit $14.639 trillion.
It’s the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.
Remember, Number-44 racked up what he deems an “unpatriotic” amount of debt in less than three years, while it took the free-spending George W. Bush administration eight years to compound an equivalent deficit.
By Obama’s reasoning, that means he must really hate this country.

The very WORST president EVER!
So. It's his money. Congress gave it to him. He can spend it like he wants to. Give him another credit card.
I am allowed to say only what Western Journalism wants me to say.

He is a fake and a fraud!
What are you talking about Bush is BO's cousin on his mom's side, so is Clinton, Cheney, McCain, and even LBJ, they are all part of one dynasty, that is rightist and leftist, all pulling away from the center of the constitution that doesn't have a right or left…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkACtMcsvqo
obummer is unpatriotic in many ways.
It's nothing new that Obama blames Bush for everything that has happened since the arrival of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. The word "hypocrisy" should come to mind every time Obama opens his mouth. Not only has Obama raised the debt more in almost 3 years than Bush did in 8 full years, he has done nothing but run roughshod over the citizens, circumvent Congress, and use his staff to violate laws he doesn't agree with. He is a disgrace.
When this POTUS comes on TV, the first thing I do is hit th OFF button. He makes me ill to see his face and hear his voice because you know whats coming out next. More of the same. Bush Bashing.
i just listened to his first, sentence, that was enough. bush, bush, is that all he knows, he is the jackass, that made the biggest debt America ever had by any president. he is putting us into the ground and he knows it, for that is what he wants to do! this ass is out to destroy us, and he will if the fools of this country don't wake the he– up! obama and michell are robbing us all, on their vacations and expensive voka, didn't know she was an acoholic, but then when two people like obama and michelle have to face the public, well , she has to be a little loaded. their robbing us blind and vacationing on our money, too many times, way too many times, and too many friends that go with them, way too many! vote in 2012, obama leave, take michelle with!
what ever!
I find the hypocrisy of this democratic presidential nominee a bit nauseating.
But for him it is different…if you don't believe him just ask.
I ASSUME IF YOU DO COMPARE THE COMMENTS OF THEN & NOW THAT YOU COULD INDEED INTER PRATE THAT OBAMA IN FACT DID CALL HIMSELF UNPATRIOTIC.
Would that be considered PRE-PROJECTION?
So why is that everything was President Bush's fault in the first place, I ask you Did he fly those planes in to those buildings? No and we took a hit like that and still had low unemployment an smaller debt spending. Was President Bush in charge of the banks that lent more money to people than they could afford? Nope. Did he say that Freddy and Fannie were in trouble in 2006 and 2007 and the Democrats told him Not they are just fine. Yes he did and the Democratic congress let them run to fail. Then Blamed it on President Bush. As for Hurricane Katrina, Hello New Orleans is below sea level and the people were warn to get the heck out, did they nope and don't give me "They were all elderly and sick and could not get out. That is bull the ones I saw on TV Looting and shooting were staying behind to loot and shoot. That was a Category 5 Hurricane and the sea walls failed. DUH How stupid can you be to be a Mayor of a city and not bus these people out. The answer is they did not want to leave they wanted to take advantage of the weather and LOOT an SHOOT. Would you go in and rescue in a area that shooting was going on. No. How come we didn't here these stories? Because it was President Bush's fault IAW the media and George took it on the chin moved on without a peep. Who has character? Not Barry. History will be kind to President Bush at least in my family.
But yesterday I here a white house staff member blame the Earth Quake in DC and a Hurricane that had not even hit yet for the bad economy. Really? Then went back to the whole thing is President Bush's fault.
911/Katrina/2 wars and still had lower debt limits than this joker with nothing to do but blame everyone and everything. He is a empty suit and should be impeached for being incompetent.
Have a nice day.
Glad you fix it Floyd I need a venting.
and we said change is coming right space change on the coner by the many people who are out of work thanks to obama and his crew.lets ask your self are you better off now.how about telling me if you are better off with that man in the white house. and no b/s.because i am the king of b/s.
obama is delibeately attempting to bankrupt this country to take it further down the road to socialism, he is an empty head empty suit bobble head who is only able to speak what he reads from the prompter…he must go!
What's hilarious is that this guy would question ANYONE'S patriotism given his own egegious lack of the same. He's easily the most disinterested president in U.S. history interms of the welfare of America and still had the unmitigated gall to get on somebody's ass about THEIR love of country? Pathetic…
