“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 our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents -- number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child. It's irresponsible. IT'S UNPATRIOTIC!”

Yes, Bush was wrong to run up the debt.

But Bush’s fiscal folly is statistical noise next to what 0bamao and his sycophant congress did from 2009 to 2011.

Funny how DemocRATS were unable to stop President Bush from spending so wildly but just a handful of Tea Partiers are “hostage takers” who want to shut down the government if they don’t get their way on spending cuts.

I guess they changed things somewhere along the line. I always thought spending bills originated in the Congress and then went to the President to be signed. Hmmm...did Bush change that part of the Constitution?

Mark Levin had this on his show yesterday and got a correction that Bush added 2 trillion, not 4 trillion as Obama said.

Levin thought this would make a nice ad for a future nominee, damning Obama by his own words.

Whoever the GOP nominee is need to play this 24/7 and shove that bastard’s words right down his Marxist-socialist throat!
