<<<<<Now, everything is honky-dory because hard left wing Obama is spending >>>> NOTHING is honky-dory about Obama's debt. NOTHING! But - geez,I can't believe I'm explaining this again. BUT, there was a need to rescue the economy from the freefall that came at the last of the Bush terms. I only mildly criticize Bush for his efforts to stop the crumbling situation - BUT I darn well criticize him for his roll in setting the table for the disaster. That is the continual push by him to cut taxes when we didn't have to and for his roll in the push for too easy money. There is NO hypocrisy for anyone willing to think of this issue in the complicated terms it needs be discussed. This is not a black or white issue. Here's a thought for you; Obama is at about the place right now that Hoover was when Roosevelt took over - three years after the 29 crash. The difference then and now is that when Roosevelt took over the economy was still in freefall. Now we are on a path to recovery. That's not a bad thing is it? Here's another thought for you; Critics of Obama on the left - I'm thinking Krugman - wanted Obama's stimulus to be three times as big as that proposed by Obama. THREE TIMES AS BIG! The big thing here greenspirit is that you ............"can't unring the bell". Do you have any idea what I am talking about when I say you can't unring the bell?
