I can't really judge Obama yet because he came IN during a time of economic DISASTER. The situation was as serious to our country as WAR would have been, so I can't really judge what he has done until I see if we can get OUT of this mess first.

The deficits they are projecting are UNSUSTAINABLE, yet I haven't heard ANYBODY (Republican or Democrat) SAYING where they'd like to make HARD CUTS in spending, have YOU?

ALL I seem to hear from the Republicans is LET'S CUT TAXES..

Reagan cut taxes and Bush Jr. cut taxes and you can see from the charts on "debt to GDP ratios" that neither of them seemed to put the country on a more firm financial footing.

Here's some charts. You'll notice the BIG upswings in debt to GDP came from those guys...
