You know how the White House loves to blame Bush for its massive deficits? Yeah, about that

You're right. It's all Obama's fault. Keep the spin up, fellas. You sure as hell not gonna ever get a support the Republican party again if you aren't willing to farking man up to your farkups, instead of blaming other people.

The spending decisions that Bush pushed for are not his fault because a) a guy that wasn't even a US senator at the time wants to continue a part of them 8 years later b) medicare costs weren't fixed 40 years ago and c) a guy that wasn't even a US senator at the time didn't propose a cost check that Bush didn't implement either.

Well, that f*cking makes sense.

Anything else?

I wouldn't call the gasoline-meet-match method of republican fiscal strategy a means of 'control'.

You know how Hot Air was founded by Michelle Malkin? So subby, perhaps you would like to explain why anything they say on the subject of the current administration (or anything else, for that matter) should be taken seriously.

Thank god the Iraq war was a freebie.
Paid for itself already, didn't it?

Yes, every President inherits spending from the President before him that he has to pay for.

Unfortunately for Hot Air, that still doesn't make Obama responsible for Bush's spending. All that it means is that it was predictable.

But really, spin, spin away!

53% of the deficit is due to Bush's policies (10% Obama's, including future spending increases). You want them repealed, particularly the tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Medicare part D? No? Well, then do you want to raise taxes? No? well you want to do a spending freeze? Ok then I guess, have fun when you don't have clean water or safe roads, highways and bridges. Oh and millions of people would have pay cuts or get layed off, I wonder how that will go down in our economy.

Turns out that when you mix the oil profits with the flowers our troops were greeted with, you get pure gold, already conveniently fashioned into uniform bars!

Actually, that sounds like rugged individualism!

On the other hand, since that is nothing more than a talking point that republicans bring out only when it's convenient, I can see how they might not really go for it.

I'm simply pointing out that they have a strong bias against the administration and are full of wharrgarbl. Therefore nothing they say should be taken seriously. Kind of like yourself.

Its a good thing gasoline is only $1.50 a gallon, or else it would cost a lot to have to ship home all the flowers the Iraqis gave our welcomed soldiers!

And what you are "simply pointing out" is known as Poisoning the Well. It's a logical fallacy and means that you are intellectually unable to process opposing viewpoints and instead choose to dismiss them out of hand.

I would expect nothing less from a mental midget like yourself.

Man, all of the libtards on Fark need to STFU. Bush made some absolutely horrible decisions......it doesn't provide the current President a freebie to go out and spend like a drunken sailor.
