Once Again… Barack Obama Blames Bush for The Deficit He Tripled in One Year

Do Republican governors like being lied to?
Do Republican governors always sit on their hands when they’re being lied to?
Do Republican governors really believe the nation is suffering from a deficit and debt crisis?… If so, why do they sit there as Barack Obama continues to play twisted blame games with them concerning the deficit?

Today Barack Obama once again blamed George W. Bush for the deficit he created… and that grows larger by the year.

Barack Obama tripled the national deficit in his first year in office. His second year in office the deficit was at $1.29 Trillion dollars. This year he will top it again.
There’s a reason why the state-run media won’t show you this chart.

This chart was updated to reflect the recent news that the deficit this year will reach $1.6 trillion. (The Captain’s Comments)

Barack Obama blamed Bush today for the national deficit that he just tripled in one year.
Transcript via Shallow Nation:

Making these necessary investments would be hard at any time. But it’s that much harder at a time when resources are scarce. After living through a decade of deficits and a historic recession that made them worse, we can’t afford to kick the can down the road any longer. So the budget debate that we’re having is going to be critical here in Washington. And so far, most of it’s been focused almost entirely on how much of annual domestic spending — what in the parlance we all domestic discretionary spending — that we should cut. There’s no doubt that cuts in discretionary spending have to be a part of the answer for deficit reduction.

Here’s a prediction… Obama will blame Bush after he raises the deficit by another $300 billion this year too.

This is not an honest man.

I always love how they call it a “historic recession”. It’s actually pretty harmless. Just wait till the finances of whole countries collapse, thanks to uncontrolled spending. Now that will be fun.

Not only is Barky dishonest, but also incoherent.

Its the voters – they can be fooled time and time again by these duds (I mean politicians!) What will it take? If Sarah or those of her ilk are not acceptable and cannot win the presidency – it looks pretty gloomy out there. The mainstream media, progressives, etc really do control the airwaves that most people listen to.

Pretty interesting if you look at the relationship between oil product import and the price of oil the last 26 months. Usage is flat within .1% yet the price is up from 40$ /bbl to 100/bbl.
Won WTF stated ambition to raise the cost of energy only benefits the suppliers out of the middle east…US has lost 280 billion dollars of trade deficit in the past two years as a result of stopping us based oil production.
Think of the usjobslost.

I’m sorry, you are too kind to the man. I find him a moral coward, an incompetent leader as well as a contemptible liar. Blaming his predecessor for the mistakes he, his administration and the previous congress and senate had inflicted to this great nation reveal the true character of the man which many had predicted him to be, an empty narcissistic fool.

A nation can survive it’s uneducated fools, but it will always fall when it’s ruled and led by well educated and credentialed fools.

Even O’Reilly and Hume are now saying that the Unions are making headway with the “folks” with all this rioting and protesting. O’Reilly saying that Walker will be blamed if he lays folks off. I am so disgusted! Why is this not showing how corrupt and thuggy they are? What is making folks have empathy with them? I give up–people are insane if they jump in on the side of the unions. Both O’Reilly and Hume did say that Walker HAD to win if the Republicans will have any credibility going forward. I hope he can hang in there…..

GP Loves Obama commented:

Whooa, the libs are kicking the behinds of the republicans. It does not look good, and Obama wins because he controls the media, academia, public services.

The republicans are fighting over trivial things like gay-rights and abortion.

I suggest the republicans stop the trivial stuff and focus. But then again, the left’s narrative is republicans are anti-progressive and therefore racist — so they cannot be any good for society. That is a recipe for disaster if You ask me.

What I want to know is this:

I understand the deficit the first year.. We had Tarp, then the porkulus. But that is over now. WHY ARE DEFICITS EVEN HIGER NOW? 1.6 TRILLION?! People, you do understand that we will be living like Mongols in 10 years if we’re lucky, RIGHT?

GOOD GOD. And BTW, can we have a public service education program that even commentators and reporters dont understand about the difference between yearly deficits and the DEBT? I swear to god not 15% of people understand the difference. If they knew we were overspending 1.6 trillion year after year, they’red be a total collapse of our economy in one day. This is no joke

I Zero gets re elected as most predict, the crap will hit the fan during his second term. Then possibly a real revolution will occure. Still, the penchant of the libradicals to rewrite history in their favor is a real concern for our future generations. I believe, in my opinion, Obama is a hater and agressive with poor leadership qualities who constantly lies and has his choir cover for him. The media must be taken down all the way or this country is gone.

mcc commented:

From a psychotherapist who contributes to AmericanThinker, “A Shrink Asks: What’s Wrong with Obama?” Apparently, quite a bit that should give us all concern:

Trauma: My gut tells me that Obama was seriously traumatized in childhood. His mother disregarded his basic needs, dragged him all over the place, and ultimately abandoned him.

But I think there may be something even more insidious in his family background. While I can’t prove it, the degree of Obama’s disconnect reminds me of my sexually abused clients.

With serious sexual abuse, the brain chemistry may change. The child dissociates — that is, disconnects from his being — in order to cope. Many adult survivors still dissociate, from occasional trances to the most extreme cases of multiple personality disorder.

Apparently, young Barry was left in the care of Communist Frank Marshall Davis, who admitted to molesting a 13-year-old girl. As a teenager, Obama wrote a disturbing poem, “Pop,” that evoked images of sexual abuse — for instance, describing dual amber stains on both his and “Pop’s” shorts.

Would trauma explain Obama’s disconnect? In many ways, yes. A damaged and unattached child may develop a “false self.” To compensate for the enormous deficits in identity and attachment, the child invents his own personality. For Obama, it may have been as a special, gifted person.

Let’s return now to my original question: What is wrong with Obama? My guess is a great deal. The answer is complex and likely includes some combination of the above.

Along with the brain issues are personality disorders: narcissism, paranoia, passive-aggressiveness. There’s even the possibility of the most destructive character defect of all, an antisocial personality. Untreated abuse can foster antisocial traits, especially among boys.

If my assessment is accurate, what does this mean?

It means that liberals need to wake up and spit out the Kool-Aid…and that conservatives should put aside differences, band together, and elect as many Republicans as possible.

Because Obama will not change. He will not learn from his mistakes. He will not grow and mature from on-the-job experience. In fact, over time, Obama will likely become a more ferocious version of who he is today.

Why? Because this is a damaged person. Obama’s fate was sealed years ago growing up in his strange and poisonous family. Later on, his empty vessel was filled with the hateful bile of men like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers.

Obama will not evolve; he will not rise to the occasion; he will not become the man he was meant to be. This is for one reason and one reason alone:

He is not capable of it.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/a_shrink_asks_whats_wrong_with.html

This shouldn’t be posted without requesting prayer both for Obama and America. Let’s hope our nation will be returned to us soon — and be led by those who are healthy and whole.

Say what you want about the Democrats but no way in hell did they sit idly by if the Republicans so much as made the slightest, tiniest slip of the tongue. Then it was All Hands On Deck with every single one of them in full offense. But the Republicans continue to sit on their hands (or attack Sarah Palin – the number one defender of the Right), while the Democrats lie, cheat and steal their way through the new year.
Look at that jackass Karl Rove tonight. Economy in shambles, foreign policy a disgrace, the crown jewel of Obama’s presidency declared unconstitutional, even Obama’s own Democrat Party severely damaged due to Obama’s horrific leadership, and WHO does Rove attack? Sarah Palin.

MCC (#27) – Thanks for the link. I think I read this article back then (as I often read AT articles). There is one comment that caught my attention, apropos the upheavals in Libya and Obama’s behavior here at home (emphases are mine):

“Posted by: ninasimone001

Robin: I also have a backgrond in psychology, specifically abnormal criminal psych, with many classes also in psychology o terrorists at a master’s level. I agree completely with your suggestion Obama will become ‘ferocious’ in his affectation further on in his presidency. In many ways he reminds me of Khaddafi, who is totally disconnected, has bizarre affectations and is unconcerned with aborant behavior of his and how it effects his country. Obama could easily become ‘full blown’ like that. If his power base is stripped away in a 2010 republican landslide he may very well lash out during a ‘crisis’ an attempt to declare martial law to seize total power. Though I seriously doubt it would work, he may very well attempt it. In fact a sufficient crisis before hand may cause him to do that sooner rather than later and stop elections altoghether. This is a VERY unbalanced person and one of whom we all need to be very very afraid of. “

Redwine #30 – thanks for adding that quote from the commenter – I didn’t read that section and only tonight found the article. It’s a frightening conclusion and one that doesn’t differ much from what I read during the ’08 campaign — suggesting then that Obama might be a malignant narcissist.

So many of us tried to warn that this was a man who could not be entrusted with power. Yet here we are.

Neo commented:

Evidence outlined in a Pentagon contractor report suggests that financial subversion carried out by unknown parties, such as terrorists or hostile nations, contributed to the 2008 economic crash by covertly using vulnerabilities in the U.S. financial system.
The unclassified 2009 report “Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses” by financial analyst Kevin D. Freeman, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, states that “a three-phased attack was planned and is in the process against the United States economy.”
While economic analysts and a final report from the federal government’s Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission blame the crash on such economic factors as high-risk mortgage lending practices and poor federal regulation and supervision, the Pentagon contractor adds a new element: “outside forces,” a factor the commission did not examine.“
There is sufficient justification to question whether outside forces triggered, capitalized upon or magnified the economic difficulties of 2008,” the report says, explaining that those domestic economic factors would have caused a “normal downturn” but not the “near collapse” of the global economic system that took place.
Suspects include financial enemies in Middle Eastern states, Islamic terrorists, hostile members of the Chinese military, or government and organized crime groups in Russia, Venezuela or Iran. Chinese military officials publicly have suggested using economic warfare against the U.S.

@#23 gus-”Obama is a clown. We knew that when morons, and LIBTARDS elected him.”

NObama in-thief is suredly not a clown. He knows exactly what he is doing. Although morons and LIBTARDS did vote for his sorry a$$, the elections are controlled and the “powers that be” put him into office. I am sure NObama plans on being 1 of the 10 kings that will rule…say for the North American Union?

It is America’s turn to join the EU. First, they bribe, blackmail and/or use election fraud to control politicians. Then, they spend the country into massive debt. Last, the IMF offers “bailouts” to save the country from bankruptcy, but in order to get it, the country’s laws have to join those of the EU. It’s only a matter of time now for the NWO.

Biblically, however, God is in control. He is allowing America to fall because we have rejected Him and are no longer blessing Israel. Once Israel’s only ally, America, is removed completely, then God will bring ALL nations to armageddon to destroy them. WWWIII will last for 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day and 1 hour. Got Jesus?

@#35 Neo-”Evidence outlined in a Pentagon contractor report”

You lost me after Pentagon. Sorry, but I wouldn’t put any stock in a government controlled report. Kinda tells you who I believe is at fault, doesn’t it?

But just for the record, the government knew EXACTLY what would happen when they removed the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 (to prevent another Great Depression). You might as well have broadcast to all banks, “Let the gambling begin.” In addition, by backing up all those “investments” with a AAA+++ rating, the government was guaranteeing to pay all the losses (i.e. Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac). Heck, even a child would understand this.
