[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 478957, member: 2189"] D, You and I know that in many areas of economics and politics, probably even religion, we are oceans apart but much of what you said was dead on point. America didn't elect Obama, George Bush and the republican party elected President Obama. It was their wasteful years at the helm that has gotten us to where we are. Oh you can blame democrats and that is very true but if the former watchman gives the thieves keys to the warehouse and the new watchman knows this and completely fails to change the locks, then that watchman accepts full responsibility for the thefts that take place as a result. Now we can argue if Obama is changing the locks or not, I don't believe he is, put the fact is Obama is dealing right now with thefts that occured on the previous shift but at some point he will be dealing with his own. That all said, just for fun I did a search of "George W Bush>non defense spending" and here are a few article I found in the search results. And no, none of them are from left wing, commie, democrat or whatever the fun flavor of the day is.
