Another vacation for Obama

No IRAQ and No Afghanistan and No Outsourcing we are not in this mess.

Let's dissect that argument, shall we:

We'll ignore the personal insult part : "Anyone with a modicum of a brain", since that is designed for leverage (i.e. disagree with me and you're stupid). Besides the fact that I think you meant to say "a modicum of intelligence" since intelligence is present in varying degrees, but everyone has a brain.

The price of oil has shot up because the dollar is weak AND the Democrats will not allow us to drill. No ANWAR, severe restrictions on gulf drilling, so many rigs have moved to Brazil to drill for George Soros' company. Obama told Brazil, "We want to be your customers" for oil. Heaven forbid that we drill for it ourselves - that would offend the Ecology Nazis.

Guess what? I agree with you in ending the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns (and Libya). Why hasn't he done that? It's only been 2 years and 8 months that he's been in office. Plenty of golf played in that time, but no action on pulling back troops.

Instead, and this is the funny if it wasn't so goddamned serious part, he ADDED $1.6 trillion this year alone as a DEFICIT. Not the DEBT - which is at $14.5 trillion. Is it a WILD coincidence that this community organizer knows nothing about economics, and thinks that trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see is just fine? He assumes that the creditors, like Communist China will continue to shell out while we don't make payment one on the principal of the loan.

At least you agree that he doesn't deserve another term, but since this is "100% Bush's fault", it must be 0% Obama's fault, and taken together with him not deserving another term, then according to you his term as president is merely irrelevant, instead of dangerous. We disagree there too.

False on Iraq.

Oh, you mean like the Tea Party wanted to do by not raising the debt ceiling? News flash dumbass, when the economy sucks, deficits generally go up. And the economy still sucks largely because he's pretty much done nothing but enact Republican "NO TAXES ON ANYTHING EVARRR" policy since the day he took office.

Deficits only go up if you keep spending the same (or more) money. Increasing taxes during a recession, "dumbass", is the worst thing you can do.

The taxes are already too high. Time to cut the taxes, and SLASH spending.

This is absolute garbage. Tax revenues are the lowest they've ever been and the economy is still crap.

Note the difference between 'cut' and 'slash'. Reduce spending even more than you reduce taxes and the math works out.

In the end, it is an equation. If you spend less than you take in, you will not go further into debt, and you can begin to pay down the debt you already have.

This should not be a controversial statement.

Math is the only thing that matters with regard to the budget issue. The fact that the math has been avoided, and omitted from nearly every debate on spending bills, is how we got here in the first place.

largely because of not taxing the rich? Yeah right. He could tax the rich 100% and put their wives and children in slave labor and it still won't balance the budget in the next 200 years with no other cuts.

Stop being ridiculous and a democrat. They're stupid f.ucking people that were educated by hippies.

I don't think I am. I'm not saying taxing the rich more is a panacea, but my point is that the Republicans have pretty much had their way with Obama on economic policy and the economy still sucks.
