“[Republicans] run up these wild debts and then when we take over, we’ve got to clean it up.”

-- President Obama speaking to donors in Denver touting the fact that federal spending has increased less than 2 percent since 2009.

[antidemoncrat]

Progressives: Pathetic, perpetual, pathological LIARS.

[Wyatt's Torch]

So to clean up big deficits the solution is to run up massive deficits? Fascinating logic...

[LibLieSlayer]

Newt would have already held a press conference and called obama a liar to his face and proved it with government figures... romney will probably agree with obamao.

LLS

[houeto]

I have this strong urge to add ‘satire’ to the keywords!

[Gabrial]

Ignore the fact that democrats controlled both the house and the senate when spending became irresponsible.

What a putz.

[Doogle]

I hope he keeps talking like this, because more and more people are saying to themselves....WTF?

[SERKIT]

DEE...LOOOOZH...EN....AL........

[Lazamataz]

This is FOX???!?

The very headline contains a lie.

Good Lord. They have been 100% co-opted.

So some libtard reporter comes up with a bogus analysis saying Bush is somehow responsible for all of Obama’s 2009’s spending (TARP 2, Auto bailouts, The Stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, etc). And Obama and the media eat it up.

Pathetic.

[Antoninus]

He's right and wrong at the same time. Bush RINOs were responsible for the initial irresponsible outrageous spending. Obama and his minions think that "cleaning it up" means spending double that amount and locking it into the budget forever.

Our current problem is caused by the two party cabal. They are both responsible and neither deserves to be elected.

There was a $400 billion deficit when George W. Bush left office.

There is a $1.6 TRILLION deficit today. This is how the lying Kenyan communist “cleans up the mess?”

The only ones “cleaning up” are Obama’s corrupt cronies who are given taxpayer’s dollars, like Solyndra, GE, etc. etc., by the thieving Obama.

[nhwingut]

Where are the Republicans refuting this BS?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

There was a $400 billion deficit when George W. Bush left office.

When the Dem controlled Congress replaced the GOP controlled Congress in Jan 2007, it was around 160 billion.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Bush RINOs were responsible for the initial irresponsible outrageous spending.

Not all of it. The previous administrations actions, or inaction, had a lot to do with it.
