More great news about a benefit to this country from President Obama's presidency.
Remember, Republican Bush was given a SURPLUS by Democrat Clinton and turned it into a RECORD DEFICIT. Had our great President Obama not been obstructed by Republicans in Congress, we likely would be enjoying another surplus.
You are dillusional. Reid locked up the republicans until 2013. Who are you kidding.? And, we are now 19 trillion in debt. Twice as much as when bush left. Please. Your guy is a disaster.
There is no spin, the deficit is reaching the same levels it was under Bush. The sleight of hand in the MSNBC article is using 2009 as a baseline.
isn't it odd how the left didn't want to use 2009 as a baseline, when discussing spending though.. They didn't want Obama to take the credit/blame until 2010..

Being a democrat means you never have to admit mistakes....national debt, extended times for troops in Iraq, Benghazi, emails being investigated by the FBI, BJ's in the white house, racial division while pontificating racial harmony, no new job plans, just more taxes.
Amazing. They are so enlightened that they simply ignore their f'ups in the name of being "progressive".
Spin master Republicans. Always making the president look bad. Look how they are still making excuses for the village idiot. We didn't have a 9/11 under Obama......
Yes, it's true, Obama is a victim and not a leader. Glad you made that distinction.
Who can make a harvard lawyer, deemed great orator by the media propaganda machine, look bad? The entire mainstream media covers for him like the grooms following the elephant parade, sweeping up the excrement.
We had the fruit of the loom bomber, the times sq bomber, dead recruiter in KY, benghazi, boston marathon bombers and ft hood under obama's watch
The times sq and fruit of the loom bombs actually were ignited but failed to explode.
God saved us not Obama, the hapless spectator.
To say nothing of air force 1 missing from the hanger w/o obama's knowledge, flying low over NYC, terrorizing NYers.
Spending in 2009 alone, increased 17.9%, under a budget approved by Pelosi, Obama, and the Democratic Majority, with Democrats holding off on 9 of the 12 appropriation bills, passing only the Defense, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security bill, which were signed by Bush.. The other 9, signed by Obama..
Right. Spending due to the worst global economic crisis.
Aside from ACA, where is this spending coming from?

LOL!!! By the time the interest was paid on the bush bailout(well into the Obama administration), his deficit shrank to only $600,000, when you add the interest it made back to what he was in the hole.
Clintons surplus was a sham. He borrowed money from social security to pay down public debt. I thought everyone knew this by now, but maybe those partisan blinders are thick.
Also it was a PROJECTED surplus for only one quarter. Either way, it was a GOP budget that created that surplus, not anything that Bill Clinton did and was based on the "Contract With America".
The deficit ballooned under George Bush after the Dems got control of the House and Senate, then went to an all time high when the Dems controlled the Presidency, House and Senate. Now that we elected Republicans to control the House and Senate, the Community Organizer has been doing better.
