You evidently don't know the meaning of the word hypocrite.
I criticized the Bush Administrationa and the GOP led Congress for their spending. I wrote a handwritten letter to the Republican National Committee in 2006 voicing my displeasure at the lack of fiscal conservatism and that my loyalty to the GOP was not unconditional. The prescription drug benefit was a disaster. Never vetoing a single bill that crossed his desk from 2001-2007 was poor leadership. I consistently criticized the Bush White House for lack of discipline fiscally.
So my criticism of Bush is consistent with my criticism of Obama. Not the definition of hypocrisy. Its called consistency.
You however will criticize Bush for $5 trillion in debt---I said $4 trillion, that's what I was able to find, but I'll give you $5 trillion---and I say "Bravo" for the criticism! It was rightfully earned.
So let's do a little elementary math: Bush, 8 years = $5 trillion. Obama, 2 years = $5 trillion. Soooooo, Mr. Bush averaged $1.6 trillion per year added to the debt. Mr. Obama has averaged $2.5 per year trillion to the debt. At the rate he's going BO will add $20 trillion to the debt should he fulfill 8 years in office (dear Lord let's hope not).
So where is your criticism of Obama? NOWHERE---you are a hypocrite.
You will blame Bush and say its because of the recession more money had to be spent---but that's the stupidest line of reasoning under the sun. The gov't has created any jobs tof any measure. It certainly hasn't created consumer confidence, nor is he creating confidence among the lender nations among us. Right now France and Britain are considered a better investment than USA!
But you will continue to toot the "blame Bush" horn. So will the Democrats. And they will not take any responsibility for fixing this economy only running it into the ground. More hypocrisy for blaming Bush and doing the same things that made the debt a problem.
Only difference is you guys make Bush look like a school boy.
