    To bfranklin1787

    You say: "The government bloat and the poor politics of Barney Frank and Countrywide got us in the current mess"

    You probably mean: The abysmal incompetence shown during 8 long and miserable years by the current REPUBLICAN administration got us in the current mess"

    On the day President Bush was sworn in, the debt stood at $5.7 trillion. Less than eight years later, the debt is within days of having swelled $5 trillion dollars on his watch - an embarrassing milestone for a president who considers himself a conservative and an advocate of fiscal discipline.

    You are probably one of those who voted Bush over McCain in 2000, Bush over Gore the same year, and Bush over Kerry in 2004.

    YOU are partly responsible for bringing our economy to its knees! You and your buddies know this deep down your consciences - but try to run away from the reponsibility by blaming the trees, the birds, the weather, Obama's aunt.

    You are a pathetic bunch of wussies. After your triple vote for the most incompetent president in history, even an imbecile with an IQ of 0.5 would not trust republicans' judgement!
