Geez, Obama is running against the incumbent.

It's a bizarre thing to watch, isn't it?

The instigator of the mess is strolling through the wreckage apparently with blinders on while waving to his adoring followers from The View, Letterman, and other frivolous venues (brings to mind Tiny Tim strumming his ukelele and singing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"). This fraud has a nerve to talk about "patriotism" while the US economy is in shambles, the ME burns, and his administration is caught repeatedly lying to the American people.

Obama's version of "economic patriotism":

The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency. The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office. The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion.* It was $10.626 trillion on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's first day. The National Debt also now exceeds 100% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, the total value of goods and services. Mr. Obama has been quick to blame his predecessor for the soaring Debt, saying Mr. Bush paid for two wars and a Medicare prescription drug program with borrowed funds. The federal budget sent to Congress last month by Mr. Obama, projects the National Debt will continue to rise as far as the eye can see. The budget shows the Debt hitting $16.3 trillion in 2012, $17.5 trillion in 2013 and $25.9 trillion in 2022.

*exceeds $16 TR as we speak
