This video and thread is a joke....
They really think Romney, who is a corporate goblin, flip flop, trickle down Zionist neo-con is really going to change the country for the better.
He can’t do worse than Obama….
Republicans are incapable of the level of deficit spending achieved by this president. Even neo-con Bush pales in comparison.

Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics:
• In the 2009 fiscal year — the last of George W. Bush’s presidency — federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget.
• In fiscal 2010 — the first budget under Obama — spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.
• In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.
• In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.
• Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.
Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%.
There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear.
Why do people think Obama has spent like a drunken sailor? It’s in part because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal budget.
What people forget (or never knew) is that the first year of every presidential term starts with a budget approved by the previous administration and Congress. The president only begins to shape the budget in his second year. It takes time to develop a budget and steer it through Congress — especially in these days of congressional gridlock.
The 2009 fiscal year, which Republicans count as part of Obama’s legacy, began four months before Obama moved into the White House. The major spending decisions in the 2009 fiscal year were made by George W. Bush and the previous Congress.
Like a relief pitcher who comes into the game with the bases loaded, Obama came in with a budget in place that called for spending to increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in response to the worst economic and financial calamity in generations.

To each his own, my friend.
We all wake up at our own time and pace.
If you wake up in four years with drones flying over your house, no job, and still enslaved to TPTB, please don't come to ATS and complain.
Obama has done nothing for this country, but sell its soul.
You are one of the enablers.
Congratualtions.

We'll all have you to thank when this country falls to its knees.
Congratulations.
But there's no debating with liberals.
You can't name two good things Obama has done, and yet, you're still sobbing with awe when he wallks onto a stage.
Ohhhhh... brainwashed.
How sad.

Ok, so wake me up.
Educate me on who I should vote for instead of Obama.

I still can't believe that people are voting. Thinking they have a say. Believing that this time, things will change. It's the same # everytime. ''I'm gonna change this and i'm going to make this better.'' Can voters not see though this charade? I suppose it's all that BS stuck in their ears...
This is ATS and there are people on here who defend these puppets still?
Madness
...maybe it's me who's lost his marbles....

this is a totally false comparision...bush DID NOT HAVE THE WARS ON BUDGET...OBAMA INCLUDED THEM ON HIS BUDGET...plus the stimulus
the bush budget numbers were false, because he DIDN'T INCLUDE IRAQ AND AFGAN WARS IN HIS OWN BUDGET...how clear can it be said?
