FDR and Truman added WAY more to the debt in real dollars than Obama has. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

That isn't modern history. Just think what four more years of Obama will generate?
 
Conservative said:
Yep, both Presidents added to the debt and Obama has added more in 3 years than any other President in modern history

Most of the debt that you want to blame on Obama come from:

  1. Lost jobs/FIT due to the severe economic downturn that began under Bush.
  2. Two unfunded wars
  3. Medicare part D legislation

No President in modern history has faced a fiscal crisis this bad. Desperate times....

btw, you do realize that the cost of financing the debt is less now than it was in 2007?

You have shown no evidence that you have a calender in Oregon, this is 2011 and these are the Obama results and the 38% JAR

That is your opinion but you weren't around in 1981-82 so apparently you didn't get the latest cell phone, computer, IPod, or HD TV.

Do you know how debt is financed? Think about it. Try doing it with 17% interest rates that Reagan had.

I was around in '81 and '82, as I've explained many times, and of course it's not just my opinion. It's common knowledge to all but the most partisan blind.

I lived and worked during both periods and you quite frankly don't have a clue. All you have to do is look at the economic conditions but you cannot do that. Nothing is going to change your mind so vote for Obama for another four years and keep blaming Bush the entire time. Placing blame is what you do best, never accepting responsibility. Obama loves having people like you.

I told you before, we have colanders in Oregon, they are used to strain food.

Seriously, if you are married to a woman and she spends and max out ten credit cards. You divorce her and marry somebody else. Do you blame the new wife for the debt?

I blame the new bride when she raises the debt from the time we were married and that is what you are ignoring with Obama. Bush wasn't in office in 2010 and 2011 and Obama spent some of the money in 2009. You seem to have a problem explaining how much of the debt the last three years are Obama's and want to blame Bush for the results even today.

All three items I mentioned above continue to add to the debt.

Even counting from day one in office, as ridiculous as that is, the debt has increased 38% under Obama.

Under GHW in office for 3 years, the national debt increased 41%

3 years under Reagan, and the debt had increased 52%.

Conservative's reply to that? Four more years!

:lol:

Hmm, what if the old wife took a chefs knife to all the furniture, turned a garden hose on in the living room and left it on overnight, tore out all the old appliances, and keyed the car. Does the new wife have to pay for the damage the first wife did?

Not if your ex continues using your credit cards while you're remarried, you don't. That's the part you don't get.

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1% GDP growth in 2011, 25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 38-41% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings.
