Think Bush is bad?

To my liberal friends who are blaming President Bush for running up a $2.9 trillion debt in his eight years as president: Gosh, that is a lot of money, and I agree that it is way too much debt for any country and its citizens.

By the way, President Bush was trying to deal with a Democratic-controlled Congress that fought him every step of the way.

If you think that's bad, you better lock up your wallets and purses. President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress are going to surpass President Bush's eight-year toll in their first 20 months and 11 days in office, by adding close to $3.2 trillion -- but who's counting? -- to the national debt.

Do you folks see a pattern development here? Over the past 11 months, every time the liberal party gets into a situation they don't like, it's time to play, "Let's blame it on somebody else."

You can't do it this time; the facts are there in black and white for all to see. Do your homework.

Here's some food for thought: How much more or less would President Bush's budget have been with a totally Republican or an evenly divided Congress? We'll never know.
