    President Bush had a Budget deficit in 2007 of $ 161 Billion.
    Obama averaged Over $ 1.2 Trillion budget deficits each year in his
    first term { 4 years }.

    RW propaganda.

    Most of that debt was because of the Great Recession Obama inherited but you all baseless blame him for. Obama inherited a deficit running at $1.2 trillion and it dropped by 2/3 while he was in office.

    donald's going in the opposite direction and the deficit is going up, and will skyrocket with his tax cuts.

    Remember when conservatives pretended they cared about deficits?

    Also, did either president have all that much impact on the economy? Fannie-Freddy got bad and eventually led to the burst bubble under Bush, but I don't know how much he had to do with it in the first place. Then 0bama took over and continued with what was initiated under Bush to handle the crisis. He certainly did nothing overly bad nor good in this regard - just went with what others had come up with and was working.

    The debt we have today, then, is largely due to the speculators and lenders who created the toxic debt in order to enrich themselves, as well as federal reserve chairmen who failed to rein them in:

    The US Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reported its findings in January 2011.[52] It concluded that:

    ... the crisis was avoidable and was caused by:

    • widespread failures in financial regulation, including the Federal Reserve's failure to stem the tide of toxic mortgages;
    • dramatic breakdowns in corporate governance including too many financial firms acting recklessly and taking on too much risk;
    • an explosive mix of excessive borrowing and risk by households and Wall Street that put the financial system on a collision course with crisis;
    • key policy makers ill prepared for the crisis, lacking a full understanding of the financial system they oversaw;
    • and systemic breaches in accountability and ethics at all levels.
      — Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission – Press Release – January 27, 2011[53]

    Did Obama { very concerned about education } every bother to
    question what Little Trayvon was doing in Sanford,Fla. { appx. 200
    Miles from his Miami high school } on a sunday night.Knowing that
    Monday starts the week for school age kids.

    The debt we have today, first and foremost, belongs to the poor GOP Congress and the compliant presidents from 1994 to 2006 who messed up the economic levers and controls in America.

    I wonder if Trayvon was like his girlfriend who couldn't read or write in cursive. :roflol:

    Sounds like there's a problem in the hood in Miami.

    So we agree on Obama - middle of the pack - and oppose on Lincoln and Truman.

    Little discussion from the left on what Truman said about politicians. If a politician gets rich in politics, he is a crook. Pretty much explains the Clintons and Obama doesnt it?

    Miami Gardens in Ft Lauderdale where Trayvon's mother owned a home is very much a black middle class community.

    Did or did not Little Trayvon call out Zimmerman as a
    " creepy ass white cracker ". That according to *Dee Dee on the
    witness stand.

    * Rachel Jeantel who had a very nasty attitude while being
    questioned on the stand from white guys { both prosecution and
    defense }.

    He wasn't "calling out" Zimmerman, he was talking on the phone .. Its a damn good thing that Zimmerman wasn't following me in the dark.
