   I'll submit he did too much. A trillion dollar tax cut (that produced   
   no increase in economic activity; trickle down my ass) and a trillion   
   dollar unfunded, undeclared war. The economy could have handled either   
   (with difficulty) but not both. Result was a trillion dollar deficit.   
   You have to think that sets the stage for something bad.   
      
   Then he invented "economic easing" vastly beyond all the money   
   printing that had gone on before him. Joe Sixpack got a one-time $600   
   check if I recall correctly as his share. And that was a rebate so he   
   had to pay it back in the next year's tax return.

   Even when the Rs controlled congress??? They control it again now, but   
   it's still all the Ds fault and the poor little Rs are all innocent   
   and stuff.   
      
   Bottom line - 0bama is flat out wrong on all his policies ---- but   
   they are nothing more than exactly what Bush did. He has invented   
   NOTHING new. 0bama has done the Bush excesses even harder but that's   
   how Ponzi schemes go, bigger and bigger till they collapse. The trick   
   is not starting into that trap and that failure falls to Bush and no   
   one else.   
      
   If you don't like 0bama, welcome to the club, but he is simply   
   following Bush's road map. Free spending liberals, both.

   See above. He enthusiastically poured gas on the fire. If you opposed   
   he, you were asked "why do you hate America so much".

   See above - all executive actions - not some minor junior senator no   
   one had really hear of.
