As for your statements nameless, I agree W did spend too much, the Republicans spent too much, but the Democrats spent even MORE! Was Barry dealt a bad hand (re: the economy)? Sure! But thems the breaks...W inherited a recession (and before you doubt it go check it out), and Reagan too inherited a bad economy but they turned it around. To me Obama has never looked like a LEADER he hasn't done anything that shows any positive leadership qualities, for example on the Obamacare debate he met with Republicans and said "We won, you lost" he LITTERALY said that, and then rammed that bill through Congress. I ask you, "How is that helpful"? He told Republicans to "Eat your peas" when it came to the debt ceiling debate, how smug and condescending can one person be? Is he being told what to say by Keith Olbermann?!?!

As far as candidates go, I don't know who out of the current G.O.P. nominees I would vote for but I would prefer: someone that doesn't wear their religion on their sleeve, someone who has a common sense view of the world, and someone willing to give the states back some power to make decisions for themselves that would benefit them without the national government basically holding their funds hostage. Maybe that makes my candidate Ron Paul, but I really don't care my dog could run America better than Obama!
When Clinton left, the US had a very good economy and quite a good image world wide. Bush caused the spending of 1000 billions and did a cut taxfor the very rich, hell even Buffett the multi billionaire stated lately how he should be taxed and how that measure was just a gift to the riches. Neither did Clinton and Obama united together spent any close to that extra 1000 billions of debt and that spending is not because the "economy" was bad, Bush just used it to turn around billions to the militaro-complex and to his friends at HAlliburton, KBR or Carlyle Group. The average citizen didn't benifit a second from that. On that respect, it is not true that the Democrats spent more these last20 years than the Reps, not by a wide margin.
