Spend a Little Time on This - Addendum
This is in no way meant as an exoneration of Bush. That dude spent like a typical politician, too. And the fact that a lot of the spending went to fighting wars that ultimately became far too expansive (de-Ba'athification, counter-insurgency, nation-building, long occupations, etc.) especially sticks in my craw. But just because Bush was irresponsible doesn't mean that we have to give the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a freebie....Or at least it doesn't in my book.

I agree Will. But the water carriers give Obie a pass for most every action or lack thereof, whichever the case may be.
And a nearly 4 trillion dollar budget is insufficient stimulus they say.
And I have seen them call the Tea Party 'radical' for specifically wanting to reduce Obama's long-termed planned $20 trillion in new debt over a decade by a few trillion.
Bowles-Simpson, Rivlin-Domenici, Gang of Six - I suspect that that's where we'll eventually land, after a lot more blood-letting first, of course.
