Crass vs Class....BHO meets donors, while GWB meets troops.

As for Obama’s claim that Bush “turned a budget surplus into a deficit”: by January 2001, when Bush was inaugurated, the budget surpluses were already evaporating as the economy was skidding toward recession (it officially began in March 2001). Combined with the devastating economic effects of 9/11, when we lost around 1 million jobs over 90 days, the surplus went into deficit.

First of all.....these so called "surpluses" were projections, requiring a status quo on revenue and spending remaining the same over long periods of time. Never happens in DC.

Secondly, and most importantly, the government does not generate money, it only confiscates it through taxation. Therefore.....any government surplus is an overtaxation of the citizens.

Recalling how I felt on the day of the Immaculation, this is quite a boost to morale!

Wouldn't it be amazing if we had Journalists that would question the drivel coming out of Obama’s mouth?

The Bush Tax RATE Cuts (For the Rich) increased Tax Revenue to the Federal Government by 35% (1.75 Trillion to 2.5 Trillion) from 2003 to 2008 while the “Rich” paid a larger portion of the overall Tax Revenue than ever before. People act like revenue went down, not up.

The information is available on the U.S. Treasury Web Site, yet not one Journalist can find it?

Keep the Sheeple ignorant and you have a clear path to control them. The proof of that statement is living in the White House.
