Question by Mr Wolf (F.L.E.O.A.): What is the worse thing President Obama done that no Republican President has done?
In case you want to say a touch about spending.
“President George W. Bush’s last year was fiscal 2009. Outlays that year were $ 3.522 trillion, according to the CBO. But, $ 108 billion was spending for the 2009 economic stimulus package passed under President Obama. Bush was thus unevenly responsible for $ 3.414 trillion of spending in 2009, which includes outlays for the financial bailouts enacted under his watch. (For FY2009, $ 154 billion for TARP and $ 91 billion for Fannie and Freddie).” the Democratic Cato Institute
“I’m a lofty fan of criticizing Obama’s profligacy, but it is inaccurate and/or dishonest to blame him for Bush’s mistakes. At the risk of repeating my earlier post, the 2009 fiscal year started on October 1, 2008, and the vast majority of the spending for that year was the upshot of Bush Administration policies. Yes, Obama did add to the waste with the so-called stimulus, the omnibus appropriation, the CHIP bill, and the cash-for-clunkers nonsense, but as the chart illustrates, these boondoggles only amounted to just a tiny percentage of the FY2009 total — about $ 140 billion out of a $ 3.5 trillion budget.” ~ the Democratic Cato Institute

Two terms Shape Care.
No matter your source, the US Congress controls the purse strings of the US. Congress was controlled by the Democrat party during the last two years of the Bush White Household. Blaming Bush for budgetary functions completely outside his control is dishonest if not outright dumb.
I have no problem saying that Bush and Obama are/were terrible Presidents.
Weather I am stabbed with a pen knife…or a samurai sword….it still hurts. Your guy is one of them… no matter what tables you meander through to justify his actions you look silly and he still lacks vision and sangfroid.
Enacted the inhabitant shape insurance mandate.
NO Republican president has ever done that.
NO president other president has ever done that.
I criticize Obama too for leaving the Country every 2 weeks to be flying around the world at our expense some times with his whole family tree. He is not doing anything for the economy to initiation jobs when he is in the US but other projects like DADT while allot of people are losing their homes and benefits. Course Congress has to argument that for a month before they extend benefits after all they have a excellent job. Obama delight in your vacation in Hawaii as you did last winter when the Country was in the same shape.!! You were raised there not born, that was in Indonesia.
Que Sera Sera has it aptly.
That blatantly unconstitutional shape care bill takes the cake I reckon. Runners-up: Bailing out and having the government partially own General Motors, and signing into law the sheer amount of spending that Obama has authorized.
Took control of GM a confidential industry and appointed a government czar to run it….. that’s honestly horrible. He may be a nice guy but that kind of act is A-naive B-opens the door for not so nice people down the road C-can be used as an excuse now to seize control of any industry who ever is in charge, if the feds feel it is not doing as excellent as it could under “their guidance”. :/ hows that…
And how much of that spending did Obama vote for during that time ?
That means he IS responsible for it as well.
He needs to take ownership of his choices…not pawn them off onto someone else when they don’t work.
