Why do republicans think Obama has been so terrible

[mysticsoto]

Seriously? you chart a rate of growth and not totals since Reagan? Okay.

If you and others are going to blame Obama for something, shouldn't you blame him based on what HE has specifically done and not the accumulation of those before him?

Sadly, right wingers are incapable of logical thinking like that. Posts here by hard liners like gilly and sukie (and others) have proven that.

You may have not seen it yet, but I'd be interested to at least see if you disagree with CBO estimates on what would occur if we go over the fiscal cliff. You mentioned a depression which the CBO does not agree with. They forecast a mild recession (2-3 Quarters) and a lower undemployment rate by the end of Obama's term than if we kick the can again. Post 161 fwiw.

Nottie was referring to Gilly's blanket 30% slash across the board. The "cliff" isn't anywhere near that extreme.

Ah gotcha. Well the cliff would raise taxes and enact all S-B cuts so it is pretty extreme.

Be fair though. a rate of increase can always diminish as the number being increased is larger.

Be fair also. Inflation and higher current costs in general can skew the numbers also. The point is to get you to acknowledge that a good portion (2/3 or so) of what Obama added to the National Debt were from programs that were initiated during the Bush yrs - wars, etc. This is something that some Conservatives seem to refuse to admit. Are you one of them?
