There is a slight problem with this statement:

Bush spent $5 trillion dollars more of our money than Bill Clinton. Had Bush frozen the federal budget when he came into office he would have left Obama a surplus.

It should read “the GOP-controlled congress under Bush spent $5 trillion dollars more of our money than the democrat and GOP controlled congress under Clinton.” The President can neither spend nor freeze the budget. Congress controls the purse strings, not the President.

Think people are p.o.ed now at Imam Obama and Co.? Just wait until the tax rates go up and Bammy’s poll numbers slip further in the toilet.

Your guy George Bush was the biggest spender in American history, at least until his incompetent presidency delivered Barack Obama to the Oval Office. Bush spent $5 trillion dollars more of our money than Bill Clinton. Had Bush frozen the federal budget when he came into office he would have left Obama a surplus. One of the saddest things about our broken two-party system is that every time Republicans gain power they spend like Democrats. Understand now why the Tea Party wants nothing to do with your incumbents?

This is one stupid SOB. Bush's non defense discretionary spending increased at about the same rate as inflation. Entitlements exploded, something Bush had no control over. He actually tried to rein in SS. After Obama and the Dems have spent an extra 3 trillion in 2 years, maybe this guy should stfu about Republicans.

"Had Bush frozen the federal budget when he came into office he would have left Obama a surplus."

Exactly how was that supposed to happen when the Dems controlled the Senate? I guess he expected God instead of GWB.
