Paradox67: I believe that when the needs of the country's infrastructure are ignored for so long, that the cost of fixing it goes up. Just like a home or car or anything else.
What year in the past 8 years did spending on infrastructure go down?
rocketqueen: no we have intelligent and rational debates.....unlike you and some of the other posters, who have to resort to nastiness and derogatory comments.....
i have and astounding amount of respect for that woman
intelligent and rational are in the eye of the beholder...

If you start a thread, you are expected to reply to others. It is called communicating with others. It is showing respect for others. You don't start something and not stick around to defend yourself. Or reply to others thoughts.
Obama was not the President for the past 8 years. Obama did not take the past 8 years and drive this country into the ground. Bush inherited a surplus. He left us with huge debt. Open your freaking eyes.

No, but he's using a pile driver to finish the job. How many trillions are we in debt since his election 3 months ago?

Sophmore, you mean the little shrimp who starts all the fights then runs behind the big fella? I delt with one of these in 6th grade. My dad told me to walk up to the big fella and punch him in the nose. I did. You should have seen the look on the big fella's face! You should have seen the shrimp run! That big fella hung around with me after that.

Kinda reminds me of Obama...everything that has ever been wrong w/the United States wasn't his fault...as he states on a daily basis. How childish.

And it is his fault? Answer me this. Who had control of this country for the past 8 years, the Democrats or Republicans?

I would say it's a bit more "manly" to "play the hand you're dealt" instead of a daily sound bite of " Hey, Bush did it" or "it isn't my fault". That sounds like a weenie. I remember that kind of crap in the 3rd grade.

This comment makes no sense as to waht I said. Early dementia buddy?

What surplus? The National Debt was $5.6T when Bush took office and $$11.3T when he left. Bill Clinton had a "buget" surplus because of some creative slight of hand accounting by Robert Rubin in 1994 & 95. Those surpluses were one time transfers of funds from accounts with short term excess funds that found their way into the general fund. OMB estimates that at the end of fiscal 2010 the National Debt will be $14.1T, or an increase of 25% from January 09 thru June 30, 2010.

JMHO
I don't ever remember him blaming anyone once he steped into office. Only what he will do to try and fix things. Let me tell you buddy, things are an absolute mess. I see you do not have the balls to answer my question. Because the answer to the question proves my point. So why don't you get on your elephant and take a hike!

Never, I repeat never...let a fact get in the way of a left-wing opinion.
buzzy: Lady, look at where this country is! Like you Republicans have any voice to say anything! Close your mouth, your stupidity is showing!
We Republicans still have a voice in this country, whether you Democrats like it or not. It's a free country. And I agree that someone with more political experience and expertise might have been a better choice.
However, we have who we have, and I'll give him a chance, even though I didn't vote him in, and was against him getting in, to the White House. Better than the bi*ch that he beat out for the ticket, at least.

Apparently you only listen to only MSNBC, the official Obama Network.
That's all he's done... He needs to "buck up" and be a man.

Its truly frightening, when we are in a situation where the United States is threatened by a dangerous James-Bond villain loony Kim Jong-Il in N. Korea, a bunch of whackos in Iran, and the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Obama's response is left-wing rhetoric about how he wants to end nuclear weapons and reach out to our enemies. Obama doesn't have a clue. I agree that we don't need to start a big war. We just need to scare the bad guys. The fact that they don't fear Obama like the feared Bush during the first two years after 9/11 deeply disturbs me. You may not believe in the threats out there but they believe in you. Well, those people who voted for him are getting what you deserve. We are being victimized by shallow identity politics where anyone who is not white is trained from an early age to see themselves as a victim and not do anything to better themselves. In fact, anyone who is not your middle-aged white guy in a powersuit is encouraged to feel a grievance.
