The media are the ones that keep telling us that President Obama is spending our money and we are getting nothing for it when reality is quite different. He spent half the money to get us out of the recession than what was spent to get us out of the s&l scandal which was a much smaller crisis. Which means that we paid more, by 2, 4 trillion dollars to make that go away, a smaller problem than the recession that he was handed by Bush. Bush that was handed a economy that was in the black and put it 8 trillion in debit by spending and giving tax cuts in a time of war. This is something that no president has ever done. You don't pay for a war by passing it along to your grandchildren. A war that he lied about to get into. No WMD, No terrorist connections with Saddam. All the reasons he gave were proven to be false. During this he stalled the war he should have been fighting, Afghanistan. For 7 years he did almost nothing there. Then when President Obama took over people complained after one year that he had not accomplished anything there. Again, no one says anything about the wasted 7 years before. The 7 years that the enemy had to move about to other countries. Lets not point the finger at Obama because he is in office, Lets point the finger where it belongs. President Bush stated before 9/11 that he felt that terrorism was not a priority for his administration. This was with in four weeks of the attacks. So, yes President Obama has spent money. Money to get us out of the mess that President Bush put us in. Any one that would have been elected would have had to. Remember part of that money, people forget, is that the $700 Billion bail out for the financial institutes was started by President Bush, not President Obama.
