we had all positives and zero defecit under Clinton remember that?

I think you are missing the point about who controls spending (hint, read the Constitution). So many forget that when the budget was balanced under the Clinton administration, it came after Republican congressional victory in 94. Remember the government shut down to force the President to agree to the balanced budget? That led to the Republican revolution of 96.

Ya, and yet our party despises the man who made it all happen, Newt Gingrich, go figure ... My point is the democrats go for throat when they have the power, our team sits around and cowers for fear that somebody might not like them ...

Obama (in his sick mind) believes he’s doing what is right and to hell with being relected, he’s a true believer, our team, they don’t have 1/100th of what Obama has in the game, sad but true ...

Sorry but that is a lie.

The Republican Congress delivered the balanced budgets. The last Democrat Congress and Bill Clinton published a Budget Forecast in 1994. They projected $200 billion budget deficits for the rest of the 1990s. Bill Clinton had nothing at all to do with balancing the budget. In fact, he vetoed a number of spending bills demanding MORE social spending. It was the Republican who came up with the money by cutting other funding to meet Bill Clinton spending demands.

Like I said, your ignorance of basic facts when it come to US politics is about total.
