As President Obama prepares to raise the debt ceiling -- after the Senate waived its opposition last week -- $5 trillion hikes evidently are no longer "unpatriotic" as Obama said they were in 2008 while describing former President George W. Bush's $4 trillion increase over eight years.
The White House requested authority earlier this month to raise the debt ceiling to $16.4 trillion, up $1.2 trillion from last summer and more than $5 trillion from the statutory limit of $11.3 trillion set in October 2008 before Obama took office. The debt at the time Obama entered the White House was $10.6 trillion. The ceiling was raised to $12.1 trillion within a month of his inauguration.
what's that old saying...rubber and clue or something ?? :shock:

this the shoe throwing video

I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
It's really that simple
no its not
Well I may have been exaggerating a bit. But I don't think it's anything to laugh about.
With total costs in Iraq alone projected to be over 4-6 trillion, I'd say I wasn't that far off.
Afghanistan may end up costing even more. And now idiots like Santorum want to start a conflict with Iran?!?!
I do realize the debt is up around 15 trillion now. But you have to admit that if the US had a foreign policy that resembled that of Sweeden then maybe we wouldn't even be discussing the debt right now.

People are overly patriotic. Especially in the US......and this is from many people who have never left the country.
......don't love man made borders.
I think it's hilarious that you are STILL trying to put the blame on one man and one man only. Like after every term everything previous was wiped clean. Yep, the debt was at zero when Obama went in, Bush had nothing to do with it. Bush didn't start trillion dollar wars. Nope. Everything was fucking rosey when Obama took over.
It must have been Stone's fault.

Yes, one of my favorite Dylanisms:
“They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings/
Steal a little and they throw you in jail/
Steal a lot and then they make you king.”
-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
why on earth did you post that ?..did I post that somewhere ?...on here ? or you just ASSuming I said and believe that ? well the fact remains Obama has spent a truck load of money and raised the debt much higher than Bush did and he started off running right out of the gate raising the debt celing about 2 trillion in the first 2 months of his term...I think about that much anyway :think:
ya know it's ez enough to take shots at anybody here on the train and I feel lucky that you have choosen me to take your shots at, thank you my friend
p.s. and stop throwing Stones...

Obama- or any man for that matter- is going to have one Hell of a time cleaning up W's mess. W ran the US for the benefit of him and his group of lackies who tugged and pulled his strings. The disaster he created- I'm sorry to say- has no easy or short term fix and you have yourself to blame. You voted him in for a second term (even though it was shown he wasn't even voted in the first term!).
It's easy to point fingers (even though yours are misdirected at the wrong person). What do you suggest Obama does that's realistic- given the deep problems that have taken root from the previous 8 year regime?
why on earth did I post that? seriously?

Lest, we mention a 4 trillion dollar war before President Obama took office that was never paid for even though everyone involved got a check in the mail initially caused this spiraling out of control debt mess in the first place? I seem to remember somewhere in the economic history of the year 2000 we were actually in "the black."
Quick refresher course on the State of the Union since 2000.
exactly. very simple economics that staunch partisans do their best to ignore.
