The verdict is in - worst president ever.

[rightwinger]

The biggest damage to the recovery was Republicans insisting that austerity spending was needed during a period of extreme recession

Throw on the brakes when we are trying to get the economic engine running again

Please show with reasonable detail how Obama's doubling of debt has resulted in getting "the economic engine running again".

First of all Obama has not doubled the debt
Secondly, the increase in the debt was a result of economic obligations made long before Obama took office

No other President has had to try to balance the budget during a major recession. Demanding it is pure idiocy.

Obama's national debt rate on track to double - Washington Times

National Debt has increased more under Obama than under Bush

Obama Has More Than Doubled Marketable U.S. Debt

Your first problem is you quote the Washington Times...next time try the National Enquirer

The national debt will be slightly over $19 trillion in Jan 2017
Given it was $10.5 trillion when Obama took office........no, that is not doubled

Bush left his successor with budget debt that carried over into their term. Things like Two wars, reduced revenue, a recession impacting tax revenue and Medicare Part D

Obama will leave his sucessor a budget that is nearly balanced

The only reason that Obama isn't over 20 trillion NOW, Winger is that the Democrats lost the 2010 midterms and he couldn't govern the way he wanted. We've saved money because of Sequestration...not because Barry was tightening Government's belt! It's the GOP saying no that's caused that...not Barry cutting budgets.

You also have to throw in letting the Bush tax cuts expire which raised revenue to over $3 trillion

OBAMA made permanent 98% of the Bush tax cuts and extended ALL of them, even for that top 2% in the top tax bracket, when he still had a Democrat majority in both chambers of Congress; AFTER the date they were to "sunset" set by the Republicans in the Bush years, before allowing HIS EXTENSION of the Bush tax cuts for the very richest to expire


libs are losers who lie to themselves

98% of the people, not 98% of the taxes

Obama raised taxes where they would make the most difference....on the top 2%

Now, raising taxes on which group do you think would have the most impact?

Why did Obama extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy for one year?
Because Republicans blackmailed him by holding up the extension of unemployment benefits

When given a choice of protecting benefits for unemployed workers or tax breaks for the wealthy...Republicans chose the wealthy

So.......

Alright, I have to admit, I got nothing on that nonsense. Is that really the argument you want to go with? That Obama is the worst President in history because he signed off on an extension of the Bush tax cuts?

Obama extended the Bush tax cuts because someone in his Administration who actually took economics in college finally got it through the President's skull that raising taxes in the midst of a recession would slow an already tepid economic recovery.

This was never an issue of the poor vs. the rich, Winger...although the Democrats tried to make it that...it was always about sound economic theory vs. unsound economic theory.
