Seriously, come talk to me in a year about it if you're still mad, then I'll tell you to think what another seven would feel like, and then we'll sort of have an idea of how the last decade has been.
And also, no Republican anywhere gets to complain about spending money for the next four years after what just happened. Not one. Not for anything. I think it's hilarious how after blank-checking everything King George wanted for eight years, all the sudden fiscal conservatism is all the rage again? I call bull$hit.

So Obama is to be singularly measured against Bush? Exactly what package did Bush put through that called for almost a trillion dollars wth the majority of it having very little relation to economic stimulus? This is a disgraceful and spiteful piece of legislaltion that Obama will take the hit on (because no good can possibly come of it and you will only be able to blame Bush for so long) simply because he didn't take the bull by the horns and direct what went into it. He simply let Pelosi and gang take over. You know the people with the approval rating lower that W. What happened to change? So it's ok to spend like crazy because Bush did it? Again, what happened to change?
