Right but if people are going to blatantly criticize Bush for his economic stupidity, Obama gets the exact same criticism. At the same time, I would argue that an economic genius like Ron Paul or Peter Schiff would have actually reduced our debts and deficits through non keynesian means.

So the reality is, Obama's deficit is not as bad as Bush. Even if we give all 2 trillion to Obama simply because he was President, Bush still took it up over 5 trillion on his watch. And it wasn't Obama that 'directly' spent/increased or caused the 2 trillion dollar increase - so even saying it happened 'under his watch' is pure... word play.

It's pretty damn close to Bush, if not the same. The problem is, he's only been in power for 2 years. But liberals blame entirely Bush while conservatives blame Obama when in reality, it's some form of both. But neither one knows dick about economics.

I just don't get the blind hate for Obama - lots of shit to hate on, even a few things you truly might not agree with, like healthcare - but the blind hate, the blind accusations, the one sided direction of blame is, bat shit crazy talk.

This is a delusional statement because the majority of political threads on here are created by bat shit crazy liberals who trash talk the right. That's not to say that there are more liberals here than conservatives, it's that the conservatives don't bother posting political shit on here. Then when some conservative threads are made, the liberals act shocked. There is no blind hate on Obama, that's just a justification the liberals need so they can feel that the president is doing a good job. There's no hate on Bush either. This "hate" argument is brought on by idiots incapable of any rational thought. If Obama was doing a good job, I would praise him and so would many conservatives. We prefer to see the country succeed rather than fail and then blame it on a liberal.
