There is one good side to this: the continued Bush Derangement is sure to drive Rasmussen numbers yet lower:

It is absolutely impossible for this WH to tell the truth, they are a vast collection of media manipulating pathelogical liars.

[RC2]

They can blame President Bush all they want and some of it may be correct...........but it belongs to Obama now. Live with it and fix it or get out of the way.

beautiful graphics. refreshing, in fact.

re the article: they're hopeless.

It does not matter whose "fault" the deficit is.

All that matters is that WE CAN'T AFFORD ANY MORE SPENDING!

[MNJohnnie]

Umm Bush last Deficit, 500 billion. Dear Reader's 1st Deficit, 1.6 TRILLION.

And our supposed “Journalists” just regurgitate the lie without question.

[MNDude]

Bush forced him to pass that stimulus bill?

Exactly. It's a VCMMPL.

I just read a report on MyWay that said that Healthcare profits were only 2.2% for last year. Why are the insurers being demonized??? I guess it's the only way Zero can ram his Socialist medical policies down our throats. No surprise his poll numbers are tanking.

You said it, FRiend!

news flash, congress not the president controls the purse strings. And the congress was controlled by democrats the last two years of the Bush presidency. So it was the liberal democrats who controlled congress that bequeathed the debt to obama not Bush.

[holden]

the best way to get out of the fiscal hole is to reform healthcare

As if anyone needed further evidence that these people are delusional.

I think McConnall made an analogy on Sunday talk show about Obama being seen as the the kid getting hold of the credit card. Not bad, but it’s the Bush-Republican credit card they are spending on. .

‘Everything is Bush’s fault’ they say, ‘we need free healthcare to fix the Bush deficit’, ‘we need more govt spending to fix the Bush economy’ eventually all this debt will start to hurt the economy in some way. If it’s inflation they will demonize the producers for ‘greed’ (just like they did 2007-2008.)

Taxes will cure everything, jobs, health care, deficits, education, everything and if that doesnt all work, it’s still Bush’s fault!

[Redleg Duke]

How long before they start saying that it isn’t their fault, but that the dog ate their homework!

[reefdiver]

All spending originates in the House. Dems have been carrying the nations purse . That lie, she told should not stand unchallenged.

[dools007]

You're absolutely right. But for the average American, let alone demrats, that is a second tier consideration. Those people are so dumb they can't even form a first tier question. For example, what exactly is wrong with American health care? All Onada does is spout lies and generalities. And, for the most part, the RINO-led GOP is following right behind. Sadly, too many conservatives seem unable to challenge Onada and his gang of Marxist thugs with that simple question.

It's disgusting.

[freekitty]

ROTFLOL Always Bush’s fault. Isn’t this fantasy getting old? Even Obama voters don’t believe it anymore.

[MikeNJ]

“Sadly, too many conservatives seem unable to challenge Onada and his gang of Marxist thugs with that simple question.”

Please be reminded: The only challenges to Obamarx, his followers, and his puppet-masters come not from Rinos or the Republicrats, but from conservatives.

What do you expect from folks who don’t know what a ‘profit margin’ is?

Christine Romer, once an apparent ‘supply sider’, said that for every dollar collected in higher taxes, the GDP declined by three dollars. Now she’s with Zero?

The insurers are being demonized because they stand in the way of the political power that ‘public option’ supporters would gain over the people.
