ISN'T IT OBVIOUS to all but you brainless racists among us

The Obama administration spent more in less than 3 years than
the Bush administration did in eight years. There would be no
need to raise the debt ceiling were it not for that.

Yeah.

If you take over the controls of an aircraft that someone has put
into a steep dive, you can't just yank the controls back to level it
off, either.

How many more years do you think that excuse will fly?

Before I answer: do you really think that is is just an excuse that
has no validity?

Do you mean the aircraft metaphor or the comment about Obama and your
implication?

I mean do you really think that the fact that the U.S. economy was in
a steep decline when Obama took office and it cannot be reversed just
by flicking a switch: do you think that that is valid or not?

Yes, I believe that the decline actually started at the end of the
Clinton administration with the dot.com industry going bust and the
regulations being eased on the housing and financial markets and the
Democrats' dream of new home ownership. *Clinton wanted 8 million new
home owners. *Bush continued that dream with a desire for 5.5 million on
his watch. *Oversight went in the toilet, we had 9/11, two wars, an
unfunded mandate on Medicare Part D, etc. *

We also had a Democratically controlled House and Senate since the 2006
elections and lack of oversight on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Obama
campaigning that Afghanistan was the "right" war and a continuation of
the many of the same policies that existed under Bush. *The economy was
in the toilet, jobs were going away and Obama was concentrating on
passing his historic healthcare bill (insurance reform) rather than to
focus on the other two problems.

Yes, I believe those things. *I also believe that, sometime, Obama needs
to stand up and be counted rather than to continue to blame things on
Bush.

Wow. Talk about reality distortion fields....
