And, he just loves to come out and talk about himself and how everything he does is so great. This is a great accomplishment for the President. One more knife in the back of America by our Marxist In Chief. <img src="http://www.foxnews.com/images/root_images/102808_nuobamaonobama.jpg">
============== Good points on Congress overspending also. AAA ratings maybe worse than some thought; lower gas prices were also inherited. Gas prices are now higher than years ago, oil drilling permits are lower. Cant really blame a bear trend on one person; Congress overspent as mentioned before. Silver & gold , indium ...are up over he past years; but that mostly private sector/public co prices.
Blame to be shared, I think. The prez proposes a budget. Congress mostly rubber-stamps it. If the prez proposes a "let's not spend much more than we take in taxes", that's what we get. If he proposes, "let's borrow and spend ourselves into oblivion", we get that. Bush [Emperor wannabe] proposed excessive spending on his own private wars. Odumbo [too many possible adjectives for him... none complementary... don't know which is correct] wants to DOUBLE our 230-year national debt in only one term... on social spending to his constituency to buy votes for 2012. Both very harmful to the country. Both very wrong. And Congress let them both have their way... shame, shame.
No need for that, when he retires he can write a couple dozen books explaining what a great president he was like Jimmy Carter did/does...
ricter, there is no way to view this problem any other way than the fact that Obama stated he would veto any program which attempted to put us on a path to a balanced budget. He and the dems would only vote for fake cuts off fake assumptions. Unfortunately they got a bunch of rinos to sell out the nation of tax payers. Luckily S&P said enough of this bullshit.... we won't be cheerleaders as democrats attempt to reset the constitution by collapsing the nation through crazy spending.
