FORT MYERS, Fla. - Vice President Joe Biden placed the blame for the ballooning deficit on the Bush administration today, arguing that the previous administration saddled the country with the burden of trillions of dollars in debt.

"Let's get serious here! How did we get this debt? Ladies and gentlemen, they put two wars on a credit card. Not paying a penny, not paying a penny, even though I introduced legislation to pay for that war. They voted against it," Biden said at the Wa-Ke Hatchee Park Recreation Center. "Two, they voted for a new entitlement program without paying one penny for it, and that was clear. Number 3, they added another trillion dollars in the tax cut for the very wealthy, so what's the result? These are the facts, folks, these are the facts.

Hey Biden, here's some of what caused the deficit.

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett

Notice how it was the Democrats who blocked the GOP when they tried to reel F&F in, including Senator Obama. IOW, President Obama inherited the mortgage meltdown from Senator Obama.

Bill Clinton’s failure on terrorism

Just thinking that the embicle Biden could become president is enough for any sane person to vote for Romney.

This from the first VP and P who in four years they’ve been in office, never had a budget passed for their massive debt increase. They’ve just skirted along with budget resolutions and the no-balls Republicans went right along with em.

They could have raised taxes when they had control of the WH and Congress. Why didn’t they?

Yes, and so when you see so many people supporting Obayma it really makes one sick.

If, God forbid, OTrauma got a second term, on the very last day of that term, he will STILL blame W.

I realize that politicians have been lying to us since we fled the old country, but this bunch is something special.

this is propaganda on a scale that pravda would have been proud of during the heyday of the soviet union. and we are too damned stupid to see it.

I blame TV, specifically reality TV. it has finally sucked the last remnants of sense out of us. we can no longer differentiate between a presidential election and an episode of survivor. it’s on TV, and we pick the winner and the loser. it looks the same to us.

My wife who is apolitical but hates Obama said she hopes Obama wins just so he can’t blame Bush anymore. I laughed.

If he wins, and things go as bad as I’d expect (with Obamcare taxes, Bush tax cuts expiring, etc), he will still blame Bush. And get away with it.

Dear VP Biden (aka Impeachment Insurance"):

It only took President Lincoln 4 years to solve the CIVIL WAR! You wanna compare what the half & half pResident has faced? And, I believe it cost LESS. And, unlike the current POS, he did all he could to WIN the war, and he didn't set a date for pulling out of the Confederacy. And he didn't ...

Does anyone believe that the 25th Amendment could, or should apply to the Vice President???

Or, this may be some fantasmical, calculated way, to draw attention away from Obama, get the somewhat fair and balanced network to put its attention on this outlandish statement and hang onto it for a week or so???

Whats funny is I believe the mindless minions actually know why these things are said and still believe the more they get the “easy” conservatives to get their panties in a wad, the better...

They are likened to my mother in law...She loves to gossip and get all her kids who still give a rats something to fight about, and she gets to sit back and eat popcorn and enjoy the conflict (show)...

I believe we should turn off our TV’s till the day after the election...That way we can get through this nonsense without raising our blood pressures anymore than they need to be...

Liberalism IS a clear and present danger to our health...

Just my opinion...

I don’t know what’s more amusing (and pathetic): that dear leader’s team is still using it or that people still believe it.
