    If Bush "by his lonesome" increasing the debt by $4 trillion is "unpatriotic", then how do we label Obama "by his lonesome" adding $5 trillion more in 2.5 years?

    I hate when people throw around "unpatriotic" or "patriotic" whenever they disagree with someone's opinion or actions

    Give Obama a break. He probably doesn't even know the meaning of "unpatriotic," having never been a patriot himself.

    Neither of our last two presidents has done a very good job leading our country. I think we can all agree on that. You can believe one has done a worse job than the other, but in the end neither has been good.

    It appeals to the lowest common denominator. I guarantee whoever the GOP runs as a candidate will turn this soundbite into a very effective add against Obama.

    Not only does he call then President simply "Bush", not only does he call him "unpatriotic", but he has increased the debt more in 1/3 the time that the "unpatriotic Bush" did during his entire term. It's a triple whammy of disrepect, demonization, and incompetence rolled into a 30 second ad.

    Doesn't him being born in Kenya automatically make him unpatriotic?

    The difference is that the current president, by his own definition, is unpatriotic. :)

    Again, when it comes to big talk about debt, it's hard to take you seriously when you were silent during the prior administration. It's apparently okay to run up debt when it's your guy, but not when the other party is in charge.

    Call me crazy, but I could just about swear that this conversation has happened before on this forum (like maybe a hundred or so times?)

    I agree. We haven't had a competent president since Bush, Sr.

    He helped the bankers and unions.

    Besides it's unpatriotic to question the president. We should just trust in him

    he was a schill for the cia and the MIC

    and then

    clinton killed our long term industry with nafta and the like
    bush jr ran us into the ground with wars to make his buddies rich
    obama is digging deeper, and is more or less bush jr jr

    id say reagan, but that would be a joke

    and anyone else is before i was born, good times

    To find a good president you have to go back to Washington, and even he caused deforestation with his indiscriminate ax usage.

    Is it hard to take Obama seriously, then? By his own words, he smears Dubya as being "unpatriotic" for adding $4 trillion to the debt, and then he turns around and adds $5 trillion more in 1/3 of the time?

    Seems like your issue should be with Obama, and not with random posters on a message board.
