OK let me see if I understand this correctly: Obama blames three of G.W. Bush policies/actions for the national debt increases on Obama's watch:

1. (2) unpaid wars - Notwithstanding that the Afghan war was a direct reaction to 911 and that a majority of democrat senators voted for the IWR, wasn't Obama elected to end the wars and bring the troops home. To date he has escalted the war in Afghanistan with an increase of 30k troops, he hasn't removed the troops from Iraq and he went and started a third unpaid for war in Libya, is thinking about another war in Syria, uses drone attacks in Yemen and Kenya all which have increased the national debt and is allowing the nutty left to dismantle the Pentagon with called for Billions in cuts to the DOD. 2. unpaid Prescription Drug plan - As a Senator Obama voted Yes for this plan. If it's so bad why hasn't he ended it or tried to fix it and in fact he has added his own unpaid for multi-trillion healthcare fiasco called Obamacare. 3. unpaid tax cuts - So why did Obama extend these unpaid tax cuts in DEC 2010? Obama himself added unpaid for making work pay tax credits and other unpaid for tax credits as well as adding an unpaid for trillion dollar stimulus program that failed to create jobs and trillions in bail out dollars to his union buddies that never got paid back.

Obama said "the debt is a manageable problem"

Not according to their our own national security experts. In 2010 CJCS Admiral Mullen said "The national debt is the greatest threat to our national security." Obama acts like he can continue this orgy of spending, at his speech next week he will ask for more spending but that is the height of irresponsibility since it is the debt that is the greatest threat to our national security.

People should really start asking themselves does this guy know what he is doing? or maybe he is intentionally trying to destroy the U.S. economy. When will the media actually do its job and ask him.

Maybe the Republicans can ask him in their response to his upcoming failed jobs plan speech next Thursday night.

When this article appeared earlier as a CNS News item, I wondered if the MSM would run the info at all. Now I see that CBS has entered the fray but let a capable middle weight, Mark Knoller, take the byline so he will be low hanging fruit when the time comes. His article is still not as good as CNS News since it is filtered through the media template filter that gives you a semblance of the truth but not all the truth while at the same time providing the broiler plate language designed to help the Big O. The real test is what talk radio does with the story if anything. Still some revelation that the Big O has as much deficit in 3 years as W did in 8 is some comfort. Too bad the extrapolation of what it will be after 4 years each was never printed. The Big O in four years vs. The W in four years (either term) would be quite a contrast. And then the W deficits in the first two years with a Republican Congress vs. the last 2 with the DemocRat’s in power would be another great comparison.

“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents -- number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child,” — Senator Barrack Obama, July 3, 2008 at a campaign event in Fargo, North Dakota.

The Obama admin will spend whatever it takes to keep GDP from going negative.

For the sake of visual comparison, here's what a million dollars in stacked $100 dollar bills looks like:

Here's one billion dollars in stacked C-notes:

One trillion dollars (in double stacked pallets of $100 bills) looks something like this:

If you look directly above the arrow, you'll see the same little guy standing right next to the double stacked pallets of money.
