They do not understand the difference in economic approaches or the drivers.

For the past 8-10 years we have watched the Republican’s Tax Cuts & Broken Policies transfer $2T of our taxpayer dollars (the wealth of this country) to the top 3% of the population, transfer Billion$ to Oil Companies in tax benefits, add $7T in unfunded obligations to our ‘quilt’ of Healthcare issues, & run up a $3T War Debt – without creating jobs. All this was done while turning a budget surplus into a $1T deficit.

Our infrastructure is broken, our factories shut done, our business boarded up, our Army broken, our people unemployed, hungry, & on the streets, and our homes foreclosed. Our American Values have been abandoned, our image & moral authority trashed.

And worse, no plans, intentions, or investments to build up America to meet tomorrow & compete globally were put in place. At least Obama’s approach will leave us with residual value that will serve our country & people for years.

Now these same folks push to continue their Tax Cut party for the rich, doubling down on busted policies, while squirming for cover under a ‘mythical’ past Republican administration that has ‘disappeared’. Remember, our current Republican Congress ARE the ones that got us into this mess – the current members generated the legislation & authorized the spending, the shift of wealth to the top, provided (or not) the oversight, & led the Tax Cut party that raped our country – Bush just signed the legislation. And these are the same guys who will not even help their own states – how bad will they leave us and the country lying in the dirt?

This is not whom I turn to for Financial Advice or for directing the country. These Republicans need to get on board or get out of the way – obstructionism at this point in American’s history serves neither our Country nor her citizens. Nor does it do anything to remove the stench from a spoiled political brand.

Because the only difference between Democrats and Republicans is the speed at which their voters will allow them to effect the same agenda, Fabian Socialism. No Conservative voter would have re-elected Bush if he had done the rapid spending of Obama, but they DID re-elect him after he urinated upon the US Constitution. By the same token, Liberal voters are perfectly willing to vote for a big-spending agenda, so long as the only rights he tramples on are the rights they percieve as being "Conservative". Usually, the rural voters break for Republicans, while the urban voters usually go for the Democrat. If you look carefully, though, you will see that Congress votes for the same pork-filled socialist legislation, without regard to the platform they were elected on. Even when the overwhelming volume of phone calls, emails, and snail mail BEG the Congressman not to spend another DIME, they do whatever the heck they please, spending by the trillions the money taken from us with the threat of PRISON if we don't pay!

The people who say that Obama is Bush on steroids want to demonize Obama and make it look like he's just continuing the policy of borrow-and-spend that Bush engaged in for eight years. There are tremendous differences, though.

Bush was secretive; Obama wants transparency.

Bush wanted to spend money on the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan; Obama wants out of Iraq and wants to find a resolution to the conflict in Afghanistan.

Bush neglected infrastructure; Obama supports rebuilding the country.

Bush had nothing but industry lobbyists within his administration; Obama did almost a complete 180 from that position.

Republicans want to disown Bush and equate Obama to him, but the comparison between the two is false. Bush borrowed money and basically threw it away; Obama is investing what he borrows into American infrastructure.

Because everything Obama is doing is the exact thing Bush did, only it is at an astronomical rate. Bush created a huge deficit so is Obama, Bush borrowed and spent so is Obama, Bush created more and bigger government agencies so is Obama what is the difference ? There is none.

it is calling the place you decrease the taxes that's the massive difference. decrease than Bush taxes have been decrease for the wealthy. decrease than Obama the midsection type that's the heart of this united states gets a tax decrease. massive difference. shall we examine out history for examples. England is the appropriate occasion, interior the 18th century whilst it develop into extra advantageous then France, why? via fact England worshipped the tradesman, the midsection type guy, shown by utilising authors inclusive of Defoe. next is the allotment of money, Obama is going to take money from ineffective classes and agencies inclusive of Halliburton and mercanary agencies with the intention to learn a substantial quantity of money returned. Obama's rules will reason a downsurge in our economic device for a whilst, yet in accordance to plot it is going to come back. issues each and every so often would desire to worsen with the intention to get extra useful. it incredibly is the darkest beforehand the mild. And the mild is coming.

Obama isn't any worse then bush. I actually think he's better

Bush didn't really do a whole lot and he didn't put much effort into things.

He destroyed the economy.

At least obama is trying to fix it up a bit.

The republikant's are sorelosers who want Obama to fail so the country will fail, so they can regain power in 2010 and 2012. This is anti-American, no matter how you look at it.

its because they both suck and its just that obama's doing it at a faster rate than bush did.

I had not heard that. Sorry to not click on your youtube link but I don't get news from youtube and I also don't like to contribute to the popularity rating of something that I'm sure I will disagree with.

I can also find YouTube videos that deny the Holocaust and that claim people are regularly abducted by aliens. Doesn't make it true.
