On the other hand, Clinton inherited a mess from Bush sr, and set our country straight with a surplus.  Moral of the story..IT TAKES A CLINTON TO CLEAN UP THE MESS A BUSH LEAVES.

This is the same guy who was telling Congress to dismantle Social Security and Medicare. It is not that I don't think that our debt has ballooned to epic proportions but where were men like Bernanke and Greenspan when they created the housing bubble? We were promised greater Wall Street oversight after Enron and MCI Worldcom?  What about the 8 billion dollar withdrawal that we made from the Federal Reserve that we cannot account for?  Barack Obama would not be where he is today without the blessing and cash infusion of Wall Street!  New boss same as the old boss!

Obama took the controls of the 747 that was plummiting nose first at 42,000 ft from Bush, picked up some non paying passengers and dead weight from the finacial sector then gave it more throttle to speed up it's plunge.
