See, you proved my point and beyond . . . I'll add that to things you don't understand . . . but what about the recovery? Or were you once again trying to throw out a spike strip and derail the conversation at the point where you can't defend your assertion?

Muahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...what are you talking about?
You accuse me and mine of some bullshit southern strategy and I'm derailing a conversation?
Have you ever had a conversation in the kitchen with anyone whose ass isn't stuck to your nose?
I can't wait to hear why and what the Southern Strategy has to do with me....please add things I don't understand, please!

Fun with numbers, may want to re-check on a percentage basis. Regardless, both parties are horribly addicted to debt and it won't end pretty.

Let's see, it was around 10 trillion when he came into office
It was just over 19 trillion when he left office
Just shy of doubling down.

When President Obama signs into law the new two-year budget deal Monday, his action will bring into sharper focus a part of his legacy that he doesn’t like to talk about: He is the $20 trillion man.

Mr. Obama’s spending agreement with Congress will suspend the nation’s debt limit and allow the Treasury to borrow another $1.5 trillion or so by the end of his presidency in 2017. Added to the current total national debt of more than $18.15 trillion, the red ink will likely be crowding the $20 trillion mark right around the time Mr. Obama leaves the White House.

When Mr. Obama took over in January 2009, the total national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. That means the debt will have very nearly doubled during his eight years in office, and there is much more debt ahead with the abandonment of “sequestration” spending caps enacted in 2011.

“Congress and the president have just agreed to undo one of the only successful fiscal restraint mechanisms in a generation,” said Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union. “The progress on reducing spending and the deficit has just become much more problematic.”

The debt will continue to expand...we need to get our fiscal house in order....
Congress is ultimately responsible, I don't expect anything different from them.
Seemingly DC runs the biggest ponce scheme ever....
If we ran our homes the way DC runs the country, we'd all be headed to jail.

I don't understand this response. I showed you that GOP are at least as irresponsible when it comes to debt, or more, but you seem to keep focusing on Obama??

Come on RFG, the last thing we need to hear from you is about math.
You have already convinced us econ is not your strong suit.

It's a shame to think we made such a strategic blunder on the international stage simply because Trump was anxious for a political victory. Such a shame that he has let it come to this. If he can't get things turned around soon I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave office a little early...

But Trump brought this all on them by not releasing his taxes, ego and his push to cut ties with the West if favor of alining ourselves with Putin. Even Jared Kushner getting in trouble for suggesting a back channel to speak to the Russian. If Trump had surrounded then with a more experienced staff, Kushner's current predicament could have easily been nipped in the bud.

What's the "victory"? It looks like t made a gesture that will have no impact on anyone's performance.

On top of that, his idiotic ramblings in the Rose Garden have just shown how out of touch his speech writers are with reality. He claimed support from "Pittsburgh, not Paris" - the Pittsburgh area voted against him in the 2016 election, and the Mayor of Pittsburgh quickly declared the city will continue to adhere to its environmental policies. He misstated the conclusions of an MIT study, whose authors responded by pointing out his technical ignorance.

The only "victory" I can see in this is that the pres headlines today have fewer mentions of Russia.

The victory is the decentralizing of climate policy.

Ponce - is to live off a prostitute's earnings.
PONZI is of course what I was attempting to spell...
By bad, strangely enough I gotta believe everybody here with the exception of you knew exactly what I meant.
Thanks for being the editor in chief. It takes someone with anal fortitude to do the swell job you do.
Thanks Magoo.
Again by bad.
