Clinton signed the balanced budgets that the GOP Congress passed. As you will soon see, Obama will not do that with legislation that the new GOP Congress to take office next year will pass.

He only did that after ratcheting spending up to the point he knew would eventually break the agreement.

It did.

He was good at pretending, he just did what was politically expedient to keep up the pretense.

I'm not saying the bamster isn't worse, he's far worse, but he's standing on the Clinton foundation. Clinton moved the debate so far to the left that they can now do almost anything with impunity.

As the below chart from the Pew Research Center shows, Republicans in the late 1990s and early 2000s actually appeared to move away from the far right portion of the political spectrum and toward moderation.

And that got us Barack Hussein Obama.
