George Bush, who’s kept this country safe for 8 years. Sigh. (What a terrible president.) I told this to my friend who’s obstinately voting Obama even though she’s a racial bigot...because he’ll give her socialized medicine, and she’s tired of paying for her own healthcare. My friend had to agree that Bush had not only kept us safe, he’d done so in the face of unrelenting hatred from the MSM. Lots of reasons to be mad at GW, including invasion from the south, but Obama will dig this republic’s grave.
Running up the national debt is not "keeping this country safe," but like your friend who doesn't see the bigger picture of the costs of socialized medicine, most people don't consider the greater harm done by spending ourselves into harm's way. It's exactly how Osama bin Laden said he'd damage us the most...by getting us to spend, spend, spend.
