No, right.
The US has woken up and it's Euro Socialist.
And it's bankrupt like most of Europe.
Welcome to Utopia. All of the benefits and none of the responsibility. Just the small matter of the bill.
But who cares about that. The next generation can worry about that.

So how would it have been better if we simply gave all our money to the rich? We would still be without jobs; with less chance of getting one. The US economy would be going the route of Somalia. Our infrastructure would crumble. The US would be engaged in more wars, probably nuclear wars. We do have a responsibility to prevent people like Romney from having power.

What do we call the 4 years Oblamer embraced and advanced the Bush tax cuts?

having to compromise with the Republicans to get any legistlation passed which I agree should have vetoed but the Republicans would have created nothing but gridlock.

No, I refuse to bow down to you thieving, submissive Socialists.

Now, back to the point of my post which you conveniently ignored.

In his own words, Obama is "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic" for doing exactly what he accused Bush of doing.

<quoted text>The total debt from all of the presidents is $16 trillion. Obama himself did not run up $16 trillion. Bush ran up $5 trillion, so the total was $11 when Obama took office, he ran up another $5, for a total of $16 from all of the presidents.

Correct - Bush,$5 trillion in 8 years. Way, WAY too much.

Obama,$5 trillion in less than 4 years. In his own words: "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic."

Your post makes ZERO sense.

Our economy IS in trouble. The term "fiscal cliff" ring a bell?

Our infrastructure IS crumbling, or maybe you've been under a rock during the storms of the past 14 months?

Your nuclear war claim is fear mongering at best, delusional at worst.

Our responsibility is to hire a confident, capable leader, not a spineless socialist whose heroes are Communists and Marxists.

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman named Tytler made this profound observation:
