2008 Obama was right - we couldn't afford 4 more years of Bush

4 more years of war-mongering and global interventionism, government surveillance of citizens, and trillion dollar deficits have really screwed this country over.

You probably think you're posting something original here, don't you?chessmaster1989

Bush didn't have trillion dollar deficits, his deficits were in the hundreds of billions of dollars. FY2009 had a $1.4 Trillion deficit but Obama and Bush both contributed to that (it was mostly the effects of the poor economy and the Bush-Obama "bailouts" that made that deficit so high).

Uhh..ok?

and we can't afford 4 more years of obama and your point?

Agreed. Obama maybe a smart guy, but he does NOT know how to run a country. He ONLY creates temporary jobs, put more people in welfare, and create more debt. It took 42 presidents to raise our debt to 11 trillion dollars. It only took one president to ADD another 6 trillion dollars. His plans are temporary and get people lazy. It is not good in a long run.

[QUOTE="OyVay"]Well I am voting for President Obama... Sucks people assume that I will not just because I am an ugly dude... I guess they see what they want to see. Story of my life. I feel like I am betraying Fox News (which I used to watch religiously and still watch it even though I am not a Republican because it is entertaining in my view) and my father though and Mitt Romney. I feel pretty ****y about it tbh but I gotta vote on the issues. I donated money to his campaign as well but I know it is too late. Also he basically pretty much wins anyways but I am going to try and get early voting done with so I can just be done.Vuurk

I think he's saying his dad is Mitt Romney.

Ummmm, what? Why would you feel bad for not voting for Mitt Romney and how does that make you a failure as a human being?

Somebody's upset about the debate...

All presidents are the same, they just do their best to keep this ship from completely sinking. People who vehemently take sides are mostly disillusioned in thinking one is ultimately better than the other.

No news should be taken without a grain of salt, no matter the source.

Obma is Gorge W. Obama but Willard is Willard W. Obama even crazier neo-con.

Honestly, I don't care anymore. We can't afford 4 more years of Obama, and we certainly can't afford 4 years of Romney either. I hate to be the one to bring it up, but Ron Paul had a budget plan that would have actually set us on the right track. Desperate times call for desperate measures, no one said his plan would be sunshine and rainbows for the American people, but continuing to ignore the debt like both parties seem so intent on doing is just inane. Until someone non-republican or democrat comes to office, I'm intent on waiting for an economic collapse -- it appears to be the only truth capable of waking people up.

Having 4 more years of Bush was never an option in 2008.

Still Bush's fault*.

And we definitely can't afford the 4 more years of Bush we're about to get.

Honestly I don't understand why people think Obama is doing any better. His foreign policy is atrocious and nearly as bad as Bush's. Couple that with irresponsible fiscal policy and you've got yourself a pretty bad administration.

4 more years of war-mongering and global interventionism, government surveillance of citizens, and trillion dollar deficits have really screwed this country over.
