Obama factually is one of the most frugal presidents in U.S. history. Bush is a massive nightmarish failure.
No credit to the Republican house on that one is there? considering they were in power from Jan. 2011-now, so 3 of 5 years, when the deficit went down the most.
Remember all Revenue-based bills must start in the House.

You're of course entitled to your opinion.

Actually, the overwhelming majority of the damage which Bush did was already done before January 2005 (which was when his first term ended).

A Gore victory in 2000 would have been much better in this regard.

The budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year was already in place when the GOP-house took over. Since then they've done a terrific job twiddling their thumbs, and little else.

If you didn't have opinion you wouldn't have anything, facts are another story or maybe the helicopter had Seal Team 6 markings on the side

I don't think this was anything but random, but if you are looking for a culprit I would go with the seal team 6 member that wrote a book, then again he doesn't fit your agenda as he is not Obama.

Well, most righties do the same. They never see shades of gray, it's why someone on this thread is praising Bush while saying our President is the worst ever.

Logic long ago left their consideration, being replaced by Limbaugh, FOX and Glenn Beck. They operate solely on emotion.
He was talking about my post, and you don't understand me at all. I didn't like Bush or his wars. Bush was not a good president, though you have to admit he had some pretty special circumstances after 9/11. One thing for sure, other countries feared him. No one fears Obama. He doesn't want to go to war, and yet he expanded the Afghanistan theater when he should have ended it. He took us into Libya with the brilliant mission of "leading from behind." Now this Syrian debacle. It's embarrassing. Bush was bad, but why can't you admit that Obama is also bad? If we're going to be in all these wars anyway, I'd prefer someone like Bush over Obama.

It was their fault, indirectly. By naming the unit that was responsible, they put a target on everyone in that unit. There were questions about seven Afghani commandos listed on the passenger itinerary who were mysteriously replaced by other Afghan military officials, who were not properly vetted. Some family members have speculated that those military officials could have disclosed information about the mission to the Taliban. No one trusts the Afghani military.

Defense officials confirmed that all seven names of the Afghan soldiers on the passenger list did not tally with those on board when the chopper took off. There were Taliban militants on the Internet in the immediate aftermath of the attack, boasting that they ambushed SEAL Team 6. It seems pretty fishy to me.

Wow, Obama was ranked 15th best after only 1.5 years as president? Kind of nullifies their opinion if you ask me. I'd like to see what they think of Obama after 5 years.

Default Kerry continues to shine

This man speaks the truth and in such a dignified manner. We are fortunate to have him. Kudos to our fine President for bringing him on board.
