Cant and wont condemn the man as to compare the era that DADDY BUSH left office in 1992,what or how was Uncle Billy recieved for his first of 2 terms...in office... one cannot make a comparison just yet, as only those who lived the yrs from 1987 CRASH thru the first term of Bill Clinton...remember Regan began that mess in 1987,Daddy bush did little to improve any thing as made things worse with the first Gulf War.... thus we see Clinton as the pervert he was, but beyond that, the yrs 1992-2000 were a lot better then the previous 10 and the last 9...

I’m not so sure about that. Since World War II, the largest budget deficit recorded was 6.0 percent of GDP in 1983. The Bush Administration oversaw budget deficits averaging 2.0 percent of GDP. The projected 2009 budget deficit of 11.2 percent of GDP would nearly double the post-war record. The White House budget proposal would keep the budget deficit above 3.7 percent of GDP indefinitely. It has not reached that level since 1993 which continued to rise until the mid 90’s You could factor in other factors but,more spending is not the answer.

Obama is a fake and a hypocrite. War-mongering NPP winner. Look at the cover of Time Magazine...It is HIS war now. The next cover will be of him wearing the medallion. Look on cnn.com now..."Obama gets peace prize, talks of war". Transperancy...can't even open up his office enough to reveal to America why two people shook his hand without an invitation to a fancy expensive dinner. Give me a break. Where's the tylenol?

What i think is un important, wha occurs the next 2-3 weeks as retail sales reports which should come out in mid January will tell wether his POTUS has started to do his promises as to bring back AMERICA as CLinton did post Daddy Bush era... Sure the American People must understand what is happeninga as to loss of work,loss of insurance as extensions out the A** as to buy time for what is next spring or summer.. the DOW continues to rise.. pushing close to 10.5 and thats half way (about) to where it was before the mess.. No one expects it to be easy...but we must endure the time like I did in 91-92 and others did then too...post Daddy Bush...We look back at the early 80s..when double digit inflation gripped the nation...PRIME RATE in the TEENS.. as homes became a luxury as now many are lost as bad loans and loss of jobs...the wave swings...to and throw as we move forward trying to fix what is considered broke or out of control....

Really?, a report from Brian Riedl states last year's budget deficit of 10 percent of the economy ($1.4 trillion) shattered the post-war record. Far from just a temporary result of the recession, current estimates show the budget deficit rising to nearly $2 trillion by 2019. At that point, the debt would be nearly 100 percent of the economy.
This year's appropriations bills will increase discretionary spending by 8 percent for the third consecutive year since the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007. In those three years, regular discretionary spending has jumped 25 percent, from $873 billion to $1,090 billion. The recent stimulus bill provided an additional $311 billion in "emergency" discretionary spending. Altogether, the last three congressional Democratic budgets have spent $561 billion more in discretionary spending than if they had limited growth to the baseline inflation rate.
So while playing “blame Bush” game is fun for you Libs, the fact is the out of control spending by this administration is eventually going to jack up inflation as well as interest rates (somebody’s got to pay for it) Show me one Economist who says this level of spending is going to help the economy.

Are going to let our so called Capitalism Economy just fall flat on its face..now we must go deeper into this then just the Federal Adminstations of the past 20 yrs or... yes each had its issues to deal with from the post IRAN hostage situation at the end of Carter to Regan even before that to wards LBJ...and JFK..(before that U could walk on a car fender and not dent it)..we saw OIL up and down.we saw an attempt by GM to thrawt California as to try to save their states population from SMOG and they ended up in court and the car Cos WON.. WE LOST....the so called electric car scandel ended in 2005 when the last of those LEASED by GM were crushed..they want BIG OIL...no one knows how long the safety factor is of the so called APOLLO 13 and other Fuel Cells could be adapted to Vehicular use..its been what now....40 yrs.. since those two little babies BLEW UP..design flaws they said.. ok buy that it you desired, ended, but we are being taunted by a worried Auto Industry who SCREWED UP even when Chrysler was in bed with Mitsu. Corp in the 80s as the tin lizzy K-cars and the only van now left on the american built market.. the Caravan and Town-Country...the rest are IMPORTs.. they buillt these MONSTERS.... look at ford and chevy and dodge trucks from the 70s thru today.. what the hell did they do... yes conceed technological advances,creature comfort.. but 4 CADDY TRUCKS....PLEASE....there are basic Tahoe and Suburban base lines under ....why did Ranger grow in size...why did Blazer...they were fine s size related vehicles...look at the Toyota Tundra....competetion my BUTT.. like Russia trying to out spend the USA in the Missle race.. they ended up being broken up...and so the divisions of GM are being... WE DONT NEED another.......(hero aint the word).....we need ability to WORK,and cruise confortable yes but at what cost....a (excuse) G*D damn truck today cost more then my first house in 1979...why...inflation,, ok accepted as point of conjecture, the same goes with other technologies to save money.. whos.... the rich.... get real......

the goverment wants to save face so many times why they screwed up to allow business to stay status quo at whos cost.. OURs both wallet and health... they want to stay in office.. remember what it says in the constitution. and we are so afraid to do something about it as being labled NAZI or COMMIE its so well ok ANAL....yes there are phonatical situations by which the FED has tryed to squelch..even NIXON was pardoned....and J Edgar is in his grave...the Kennedys are all but gone...I lived thru ALL of the above.. some of U have too.. think about.. it reading statistics is one thing, but live it, deal with it, then make an informed comment...facts are fine as to compare this or that, but in reality we have gotten better at the cost of the labor of america,and we are lost..them people, me included like a Teamster I am lost our a** w HOFFA, ok he went to jail but what did we get....12 more yrs til RICO stepped in...those people LABOR at the auto industry i reflect too. i accept their problem but they like MANAGEMNT let it happen... many would LOVE to have the EV-1 today so its small it only goes 100 or so miles on a charge, but what do u really NEED.... not want... NEED.....every person who reads this has a different story and reason to complain.. its the nature of the beast.....it takes time... it costs MONEY.. it will hurt, but in the end accomplishments must be weighed as to what is gained.. over lost.. we lost a hell of a lot since 911.. and some i dont like...but "we the people" stood by it. let it pass, and well.. not our kids must endure it....

happy holidays...
