Obama Supporter: How Do You Look Self in Mirror?

The criticism from the Obama crowd is "George W. Bush gave us this deficit and economy." I will agree that the Bush White House and GOP-led Congress failed to control spending during their six years of total control of the executive and the legislative branches. W never vetoed one single bill that came from the Congress. He allowed deficits to gorw and did not exercise conservative fiscal policy. I went online and criticized him often for that, I wrote the RNC Chairman Ken Melman a letter voicing my displeasure. However the last two years of W's presidency was with a Democratic controlled House. The recession began in 2007 according to economists so partial blame has to lay at the feet of the Dems in Congress too.

But how can you look yourself in the mirror, how does BO look himself in the mirror, how does anyone look themselves in the mirror that blames Bush for the state of the Union when BO and the Dems took total control while proposing deficit spending on a scale that dwarfs all other former presidencies combined? You blame Bush but then take what he did and do exactly what he did only 1,000 times worse.

Does that make any sense to you?

You cannot spend your way out of debt! If the economy hasn't improved by November, will you be willing to vote for candidates that campaign on responsible fiscal policy? Cut spending significantly, cut out pork projects, cut out wasteful programs, simplify government and make it streamlined and effecient. And for goodness sake, give breaks to small businesses and the companies that create jobs!

You cant blame Bush and praise BO at the same time unless you are completely partisan and it doesnt matter how one governs---its all about ideology.
