LOL . . . the ineffective guy who accomplished more in his first two years than just about any president in history.
It's a world full of contradictions. :smile:
Really? More than any President in history?

Most people do not brag about "accomplishing" detriment.
ie, more debt in his first two years than Bush in 8. I know, "Its all Bush's fault"
Shoving "Obamacare" down our throats while 73% of Americans were against it.

Yep . . . there it is . . . found it. I see that "just about" I put in there . . . am I the only one? :smile:
:shrug: Maybe lack of confidence or his beliefs actual mirror those of Mr. Geithner? Impossible to know, but to paraphrase a friend's adage, "the king's the power", and at the end of the day Mr. Geithner acts on behalf of President Obama.My BIGGEST problem with Obama is Giethner. His fuck ups and his allegiance to Wall Street and his multiple assists to the Banks have all been exposed, and yet... Obama begs him to STAY... even after the first ever credit downgrade for us. WTF??!!!???
The legacy of policy that contributed to the debt is as important as the fact of the debt itself. Being reasonable in an assessment of this issue involves taking the longview, and there are more than a few pit-stops on that road, one being the most recent President Bush. But, no need to stop there. Personally, I like to begin in 1968.Most people do not brag about "accomplishing" detriment.

Where do you get these statistics?
Also the quote in your signature about freedom is kind of funny considering the war I'm guessing it came from.
Here it is relative to the GDP:
Percent of GDP
Debt Held by the Public as a Percentage of Gross Domestic Product
Bush 2 year increase in debt =========== - 6.9% (at 32.5% in 2001)
Obama 2 year increase in Percent of GDP =========== 21.8% (at 62.1% in 2010)
Semantics, and you'd have to define accomplishments. People can pass 5,000,000 pieces of useless legislation.
Oh stop it with your numbers Horrible! Bush was a bad bad man. And he was white too!
look for yourself.

To help you out, Bush took office in 2004, and left office in 2008 driving up the debt 45.9 billion. Obama took over in 2008 and by the end of the fiscal year of 2010 had increased the debt by 835.5 billion.
You do realize a good chunk of that is the stimulus right? And the continuing wars started under Bush? And the continuation of the Bush Tax Cuts causing less revenue?

I may have to, numbers, facts, logic... These things are just too much for the democratic mind to wrap itself around.
I'm not a democrat, nor a liberal or Obama supporter. Nice try.

It wasn't. However, on its face, I think it was meant to offend and perhaps provoke Democrats. He should just own it.I don't believe he was quoting you in this post?
