Presidents ask Congress to authorize, allocate and spend taxpayer money. Presidents can’t spend one thin dime without the help and authorization of Congress. That’s how Obama, in collusion with his henchmen and handmaidens in a Democrat-controlled Congress, has added more debt to our country in less than one year than ALL of his presidential predecessors COMBINED.

Another “inconvenient truth” for you: Since taking control of Congress in 2006, the Democrats have consistently authorized MORE to be spent each year than Bush even asked them for, while at the same time refusing to reign in and actually defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the origin of the financial meltdown which threw the country into a recession in the first place, despite Bush asking Congress at least 17 times since 2001 (yes, the Republican-controlled Congress prior to 2006 didn’t listen either) to do so.

So, tell me again, please, how Bush was the biggest spending president until Obama came along? Or did you just speak without thinking? And is that something you do a lot?

So far as Bush not being stupid but playing it well on TV, Obama is the opposite — he plays being brilliant when properly teleprompted on TV but his first year of not achieving much of anything that’s worked, even WITH majorities in both chambers of Congress, clearly shows he’s not. The American people are finally beginning to get past the soaring rhetoric and discovering there’s no substance there, something some of us have known for some time.
