>> He could be doing something about the deficits and debt, but I don't see any effort at all really. You are constantly forgetting that when Obama took office the accumulated deficit for the current FY was $400B, and that included the TARP expenditures. You seem totally okay with the $800 Billion "stimulus" expenditure. This is a MASSIVE amount of money, wasted -- as much as we spent on both wars during Bush's entire 8 years. Yet, you act as though it never happened. There is scant evidence this expenditure has improved the economy AT ALL, and according to Obama's own people, we are now less than 6 months from the end of its benefit. And the economy is still in the tank. While this shoots a hole, totally, in the liberal theory that we can spend ourselves out of a recession, it IS nearly a trillion dollars and I'd think you would be bitching more about that than anything spending under GWB.
