Blah, blah, blah. Late start today, tierra? Staying up until 3 or 4 AM every night of the week shilling for Obama can make you pretty tired. If only you expended as much energy actually working and contributing to society.</description>

Poor Bill. Can&#039;t address facts, resorts to insults

Bush entered office promising to run ‘small government’ in a business-like fashion (sound familiar) and to eliminate any deficits and begin paying down the debt.

Unfortunately the Bush administration did exactly the opposite – running up deficit after deficit, doubling the national debt and watching the ‘strong Republican economy’ collapse on his watch with 8.5 million people losing their jobs, their businesses, their homes, their savings, etc.</description>

Too bad you have no idea how to create a job or even hold one. Living off taxpayers and shilling for Obama day and night aren&#039;t helping our GDP. You in no way represent the American work ethic that built this great country.</description>

		<description>Yes, we can be bystanders.

It is the Arab League&#039;s responsibility, to police their own region, in these matters.

The US has to stop fighting other people&#039;s battles.</description>

		<description>&quot;Amazing how powerful that Democrat “Obama” guy is, convincing ALL of these middle easterners to revolt for free…&quot; - C is for Comprehension

That would be amazing but nothing of the sort ever happened.
As usual, Obama had nothing to do with the Middle East Uprising.</description>

		<description>This is a civil war and we shouldn&#039;t get directly involved at all. If anything we should quietly provide support through a third party. We&#039;ve already seen how Libya and Egypt are turning out. If we do get involved they won&#039;t even thank us at all and let&#039;s also keep in mind how well financed and organized the Muslim Brotherhood is, they&#039;re the real players in this whole Arab Spring thing. We have to  remember history, after WWI the whole Ottoman Empire was carved up into various nations with no thought towards demographics at all. This is simply the middle east trying to revert to it&#039;s natural form.</description>

		<description>Aaarg!  O&#039;bummer is such whimp!

Oh yeah, we got into th(ese) wars because of why???  911???  Obama&#039;s eventual demise was the only answer and it took how long???

Where are our oil repatriations (not that that compensates us for our dead children), but what do these countries pay back for our help in liberating them???

...hmmm, I don&#039;t like any of  these politicians, or these countries.

Maybe we should quit hiring liars to run our country!

Oops, meant to say lawyers...

Under Clinton the budget produced a surplus. The interest on the debt was beyond this and wasn&#039;t covered by the surplus - but yes, other than this, Clinton produced a surplus budget. Even if you&#039;re unwilling to understand this logic, the fact remains Clinton drastically reduced the deficits.

Bush entered office promising to run &#039;small government&#039; in a business-like fashion (sound familiar) and to eliminate any deficits and begin paying down the debt.

Unfortunately the Bush administration did exactly the opposite - running up deficit after deficit, doubling the national debt and watching the &#039;strong Republican economy&#039; collapse on his watch with 8.5 million people losing their jobs, their businesses, their homes, their savings, etc.</description>

		<description>Ummm B-cause, stop drinking the kool aid will you--the surplus stories are lies.  The debt under clinton actually increased.  This isn&#039;t to say that Bush wasn&#039;t a dog for his spending---$billions more  sent to Africa, money to help the Katrina Riff Raft of NO because they whine so well.   Clinton was slowed down via a republican congress---unfortunately Obama had Pelosi/Reid and they robbed us of far far more.   Everyone focuses on Congressmen and President  salary---------but hey that isn&#039;t where they make most of their money---its the backroom deals that are really costing us.</description>
