Hey MSM, where's the debt clock? (Vanity)

Seems that when George W. Bush was president there was periodic main stream media reporting about the ever-increasing national debt. Somewhere, perhaps New York City, there was a large sign that continually updated the national debt. Now that Obama is raking up more debt than ever we don't hear or see anything about it. What happened to that sign?

“What happened to that sign?”

They couldn’t fit it on any human built structure.

Deficits are only bad if they happen with Republican presidents.

If you are a good Democrat, they assume that your deficit spending is to “invest” in the future or infrastructure or education or healthcare. Then deficits are ok. Only Republican deficits are bad.

Bush doubled the National Debt. Obama will do the same, but as of yet, Bush is the Champ.

Democrap: You see, the national debt is money that we borrow from ourselves. If somebody owes you 11 trillion dollars that’s not so bad.

The one they had mounted on a billboard or whatever could no longer hold it, it had too few digits
