   I am not crazy about the President at all but what is the point of publishing this cartoon image? What Trillion dollars has the President spent already? The 2008-2009 Budget was penned by Former President Bush & when he Left office in January the Deficit for 2008-2009 Budget was $1.2 Trillion. The fiscal year ended in October at $1.4 Trillion so where has President Obama spent a Trillion dollars? Still waiting for the 2009-2010 Fiscal Budget & his plans for 2010 & what happens with the Health crap bill before I can say he is spending like crazy. So far President Obama has Congress, the White house & other Government agencies making the transition to cloud computing with partnership Google that will save $80,000 Billion a year. He & congress fix the Pell loan Program because before the Government would Provide banks with Subsidies & the banks would lend the money to student but the Government would insurance the loan & if the student didn’t pay the Government would cover the cost. That has to be the stupidest idea ever so now they restored it to where the Government provides the loan that must be paid back with interest. There is no Point money should be given away for free to banks as a subsidy & then give them more money later, It was nothing more then the Corporate Welfare that has been going on.

   Some people like political cartoons and others do not. I happen to like political cartoons that reflect what is going on in this country. I’m sorry you have a problem with that.

   If you don’t believe that Barack Obama has been spending like crazy then you must of missed something along the way. If I remember correctly George Bush started the first stimulus/bailout roll out during the campaign. In fact, I was pretty upset about it because I didn’t think this country should be bailing out anybody and certainly not banks, industries, etc. Why do you think we were upset about bailouts in general?

   Then Barack Obama became President and there was another bailout that was supposed to help stimulate the economy and get people back to work only that didn’t happen, numbers were fudged, and then we found out the true unemployment rate was 17.5% because more people that have never filed for unemployment decided to file. That 17.5% doesn’t include the folks that still have not filed.

   Transparency? Barack Obama promised we would get to see everything and everything would be posted. Not only does this administration not know how to count and do math, they are talking about ANOTHER stimulus bailout plan.

   See now you’ve got me started…

   Here’s comes the healthcare BS and now they are saying that they want to tax US, yes US, you know.. the people that he said would not be taxed if they made under 250K? Remember that? Well he LIED. Now they want to tax people who make over 50k a year so that they can pay for a healthcare bill that will not be accessible by anybody for 3 years. Mike Huckabee said it best today, he said it would be like paying for a house for 3 years and not being allowed to live in it.

   Yes, George Bush started the bailout stupidity and Barack Obama, who claimed to be the voice of hope and change who was going to be SO DIFFERENT from George Bush turned THAT bailout mess into a bailout NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   I have no Problem with Political Cartoons, They can be very amusing & it is your blog & your right to enjoy them.

   Yes the Bailout started under President Bush including the T.A.R.P funds which were included in the Budget for 2008-2009 which left a deficit of $1.2 Trillion as I previously stated. President Obama used the T.A.R.P funds that were available for GM, A.I.G & so on.

   I believe you’re discussing the Stimulus Package which I believed was pretty useless, However I must say something is happening I don’t know what the cause is but the streets & stores are packed tonight, everyone has money to burn for Black Friday & I hope that will benefit the economy. It is expected that Black Friday Sales will be higher then the Past 2 Yrs. I doubt the Stimulus Package has helped any if at all but That is the spending that President Obama is Responsible for & how the decisions he made with the T.A.R.P funds he inherited (Taking over GM). I loved Fox news but I was very Disappointed when they reported that President Obama added $1.4 Trillion to the Deficit by himself, I have faults with the Policies but I want truthful information to base my decision.

   I supported his Health Care Plan on the Campaign trail & the Public Option but He should have waited until late 09-early 2010 & worked his own bill from scratch. He is leaving everything up to Congress who don’t have to worry about what He promised the People, they are now in control & mutated his ideas from the Campaign trail to the worse bill ever, Especially that Max Baucus who is own by the Insurance Lobbyist. For Both Parties whoever won they would both spend, they are all own buy the Lobbyist. Wal-Mart is not the great American story, when they expanded they received $1Billion in our Money to expand Corporate Welfare needs to stop but you not gonna happen when the money can buy a vote, The Companies that receive Corporate welfare have been Motorola, Enron & more over the years. It is no Surprise that Either Party would ensure bailouts or save companies that keep their coffers stuffed.

   So basically what you are trying to say is that Barack Obama has not added to the deficit whatsoever. He just lives in the White House now and can be seen as the President and that’s it. He doesn’t have to be held accountable for everything he has added to continue to grow this debt. That’s interesting.
