Yet another dumbass post by you Kenny boy....your DNC talking points are sounding more ridiculous every day. People are fed up with deficit spending in DC...it makes no difference who is in charge....this has been building for a long time and the boiling point has been reached...these idiots in Congress and the WH need to be reminded who they work for...

Ken, if you don't mind answering the question - are you one of ACORN's attorneys/public defenders?

Which makes sense because the Obama deficits are larger, and also come after the Bush deficits which make them more problematic. If Bush had not had such large deficits there would be less reason to protest Obama's deficits not more. Obama's deficits are not just bigger, but include plans for a larger government long term. Some of Bush's additional spending was new large programs intended to last a long time, but the drug plan and "No Child Left Behind", are smaller than Obama's plans for health care "reform". And part of the additional deficits where do to tax cuts which are less problematic. Tax cuts tend to help economic growth, are easier to reverse if you think they need reversing, and don't amount to more big government. Except at the extremes for deficits spending is a bigger issue than deficits (of course Bush deserves blame in this area as well, but Obama is going further), and even if you really want to focus on deficits Obama is worse here as well.
