It's possible Obama might end up spending more than Bush, but I think it would be more fair if you showed a chart of Bush's first two years in office versus Obama's first two years in office, rather than a projection of the worst case scenario for Obama's future spending

That would also be misleading since Bush spent very little in his first 2 years in office. He didn't go into Iraq or bail out the banks yet. In Obama's first 2 years, he was already in two wars (plus increasing troops in one of them) and passed 2 bail outs.

Nobody MISSES Bush. Some people MISS having a White male president. More often than not, White males. And usually White males who have more teeth than brain cells. Which is tough when your missing 8 teeth...but hey...

why does race have to be brought into this?
all politicians are dicks, regardless of race
--- End quote ---
If they are all dicks, why you miss the one before Obama? Especially considering we are still recovering from the last one. Especially considering the last one was the worst president in the history of the US lol
--- End quote ---
if you looked it up you'd find that Obama has spent more in his his first term than Bush did in both of his
--- End quote ---
True but obama supporters would just come back and say "well that was bc of bush, etc", which is partly true but a misleading statement since to put it nicely the jury is still out on the stimulus and how effective it was (no one made a rule spending a gazillion dollars to get us out of a trillion dollar hole was the definitive answer).
Theyd also probably say that without massive govt spending we couldnt run a fair country that bridges the gap between rich and poor but what thy would fail to realize is that if we keep spending and borrowing to maintain so called needed programs and china calls our debt in it could kill our dollar and make things go from bad to terrible for everyone

:D
it's funny to watch people sugarcoat Obama OR Bush's failures by blaming it on the other.

It really is. It speaks to the amount of misunderstanding and ignorance among the people nowadays, who blindly follow a political party or a guy cause he happens to be black. It was a fashion statement to say you liked Obama, and I get the feeling that for a lot of his "supporters", thats as deep as it gets. I can say from being on a college campus when that election was going on, most people sporting obama shirts and whatnot that I had interaction with didn't know what would amount to a hill of shit about politics, but they did know they hated Bush and Republicans were evil. Lol. Same with many Bush supporters, just opposite side of the room.
