He's not giving a pass to Obama!! LOL. However, two wrongs don't make a right Kenny. If Bush was bad, then Obama is much worse. Do you see the pattern being presented?

Kenneth, That's a BS assumption & generalization on your part. I'm not condoning the spending under Bush, though it was after 9/11 and supported military action; the reckless, unneeded spending under Obama has been downright criminal!

Report: Obama Administration Added $9.5 Billion in Red Tape in July Conservatives take aim at job-killing regulations By Paul Bedard Posted: August 3, 2011 (HAT TIP GEOFF ALTMAN) Share This<!-- Many House and Senate conservatives are reviving their battle against federal regulations, claiming that the president hasn't stopped issuing job-killing rules during the debt ceiling fight. "While Washington and Americans have been focused on the debt ceiling, the Obama administration has continued to roll out more crushing red tape," said a spokesperson for Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, who's been championing the regulation fight. [ Check out U.S. News's new iPad app.] At Tuesday's GOP Senate caucus lunch, the lawmakers said that they will renew their efforts, supported by business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In a memo Barasso handed out to the lawmakers, he claimed that the administration in July only has put in $9.5 billion in new regulatory costs by proposing 229 new rules and finalizing 379 rules. Among those he cited were EPA, healthcare reform, and financial regulatory reform rules. [ Check out political cartoons about President Obama.] His handout included a word map that highlighted terms like "fragile," "uncertain," and "teetering," all concerns of Americans about the economy.

DOW PLUMMETS MORE THAN 500 POINTS AMID FEARS OF NEW GLOBAL RECESSION Steep market drop stokes fears of sustained economic downturn View Photo Gallery — ?A look at the drama on Wall Street. By Michael A. Fletcher, Updated: Thursday, August 4, 7:11 PM The steep stock market drop that accelerated Thursday is stoking fears that the economy is headed into a sustained downturn at a time when policymakers are particularly ill equipped to fight it. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 513 points Thursday, closing at 11,383. The market has declined by more than 10 percent in the past two weeks. If those losses continued, they would severely undermine the efforts of government and individuals to dig out of the deep debt that many analysts say is at the root of the nation’s economic troubles.
