    I noticed that, myself. Seems curious.

    Dunno (since you didn't provide a link or a source) if your source is adjusting for inflation, or retroactively adding the war costs back into the numbers, or what.
    I consider a bailout a onetime thing, not the new budget norm....I don't hold him anymore responsible for the crash than any other congresscritter
    I do for his actions after....unlike some that desperately do not want to.

    the source was wiki

    Please. Tell us which of "his actions after" you hold Obama responsible.

    Think the private sector might have had something to do with it?

    I was admiring the facile way he decided that, well, if he can't blame the Democrat in the White House (since he wasn't there, yet), then it must be the Congress.

    Couldn't possibly be the party that WAS in the White House, you know.

    And it couldn't possibly be the trickle-down, Republican agenda, that we've been implementing, with slight variations, for 30 years. Nope. It absolutely much have been the Party that was in change of Congress, for a few months, when it hit.

    (If you point this out, then his third attempt to shift the blame will be to point out that the board of Fannie Mae had a Democrat on it.)

    Of course they never have any specifics. Must be all these Obama regulations and Obama taxes that don't exist

    The direction of stimulus funds

    Priorities of his Administration

    The EPA's actions under him
    The Justice Dept under him

    If Obama wins I wonder how much of a difference having Clinton campaigning made vs the absence of Bush. It is amazing how good a surrogate Clinton has been for Obama. He seems to be a far more natural politician in his ability to connect with people. Bush certainly has these qualities too, and would be far better at connecting than Romney.

    Direction of stimulus funds-mostly tax cuts, something conservatives should love
    Priorities of his admin-affordable healthcare for the nation, something everyone should love

    Bush just has those nagging problems of presiding over the economic collapse, cheering on the wildest increase in deficit spending in history, lying about WMDs in order to start an elective second simultaneous land war in Asia, leaving that particular war plus the justifiable one in Afghanistan for the next guy to deal with, FEMA's disastrous missteps in the wake of Katrina under his boy Heckuva Job Brownie, eager promotion of torture as an American value, inability to get Bin Laden, and his correspondingly disastrous approval ratings in office standing in the way.

    Not to mention the things that would make him unpopular with the anti-spending right wing. Medicare Part D, the Bush bank bailout he signed, etc.

    He has remained in hiding for a reason...

    I got to see Bill Clinton speak last night. He was fired up. Really let Mittens have it.

    I think he's been a great asset for the Obama camp.

    I suspect so.

    Which rather surprises me. I think of Obama as being really good when delivering a speech. Which, I think, is mostly what campaigning consists of. So it would seem to me like Obama should be better at campaigning.

    But yeah, the impression I get is that Clinton has been a real asset.

    Heck, after W, and Obama, he may become the Democrat's version of Reagan.

    The President has been going around saying Romney is lying about Fiat sending Jeep to Italy/China:

    To counter the severe slump in European sales, Marchionne is considering building Chrysler models in Italy, including Jeeps, for export to North America. The Italian government is evaluating tax rebates on export goods to help Fiat. Marchionne may announce details of his plan as soon as Oct. 30, the people said. .
    http://www.businessweek.com/news/201...-19-billion#p1
    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-...ving-to-china/
    Chrysler does have plans to start Jeep production in China but for the Chinese market. "We are working to establish a global enterprise and previously announced our intent to return Jeep production to China, the world's largest auto market, in order to satisfy local market demand, which would not otherwise be accessible," Marchionne wrote in his blog post.

    Don't bother Thiebear.

    Everyone here in this thread knows that Obama is as pure as the driven snow and Romney is a lyin',murderous felon.

    I am truly shocked at not so much the opinions on Romney, as much as the intellectual dishonesty when it comes to Obama. You would think he has been the greatest president ever based on some of the posters damnation. I haven't been around the tailgate for many elections, but some posters in here can't admit any wrongdoings, it's honestly shocking.

    I can list flaws of both.
