I agree. As far as I can see, Obama ran much of his campaign on the premise that Bush gave us a whopping $500B deficit. Totally unsustainable. Totally crazy. Obama was gonna fix that. Then, in Sept, the big economic crisis hit and Obama was one of the people who rushed through a $700B fix. So where are we?

Obama is now complaining about the $1.2T deficit he inherited (that's 500 + 700) and he blames it all on Bush and he seems to think that the solution is to triple the deficit.

The guy is a kook. His policies are not inadvisable -- they are ruinous.

O’Bama has one sure thing on his side....Americans can’t add. So, Hussein draws a pass.

There have ALWAYS been extremists making exaggerated claims about opponents. This is nothing new. Obama's programs and policies are extreme. When the inflation hits the Obama shills can fall back on their false dichotomy fallacy pitting right-wing extremists vs. the utopia of pragmatic centrism. Just one problem - Obama is NOT a centrist. We don't need to give him a pass on taxes, spending, the Constitution or social issues to fulfil the neocon dreams of an enlightened Jeffersonian democracy in Afghanistan, as if that is likely to happen during Obama's reign. But why turn the U.S. into a Banana Republic in the process?
