The Democrats have criticized Bush for big deficits, and contrasted with how Bill Clinton had a balanced budget in his last year, I think it was, as president.

Why did deficits matter so much when Bush was president, but don’t matter now under Obama? Why does it not matter that the deficit under Obama will be much larger than under Bush? Are Republican deficits the only ones that matter?

Remove Snowe, Collins and Spector and it will not pass!

I should hope so! I don’t understand why Republicans aren’t blasting this out of the water. I realize they don’t have the votes but they should at least be going Glenn Beck crazy.

What, aren’t Snowe and Collins and Specter fighting over the kneepads already??

The President does not create Deficits.

Only Congress creates Deficits

I'm sure you know as well as I do. It's not about the spending as much as what it is spent on with the left. And they have so many whacko groups there to try to appease by throwing $$$ their way...
